President Obama's historic election, considered one of the biggest-ever advances for African Americans, has faded in importance for blacks due to his failure to fix race relations, according to a new Gallup report.When elected, 71 percent believed that the "Obama effect" was "one of the most important" advances for blacks, but now just 32 percent agree. More disturbing: Slightly more, 33 percent, believe that his election and presidency is "not that important" for blacks.
