Is the US really going to elect another Democrat for President in the next Election? Why?
I just feel Obama has let America down from what he promised. Am I the only one who feels this way?

Because every election, the republicans send someone further and further to the right.

Instead of going on a "feel" or hunch, why don't you do a bit of legitimate research regarding our nation-saving President Obama's hard work and wise decisions made on behalf of this nation and the American people. I highly recommend that you first go to whitehouse.gov and recovery.gov---both sites are loaded with information that would dispute your erroneous contention of "Obama has let America down" and prove you to be wrong in your perceptions.
Once you have thoroughly perused the above-named sites, then try http://whattheheckhasobamadonesofar.com/ and also politifact.com's Obameter, the latter a measure of the campaign promises "kept," "compromised," "in the works," and also those "broken" or "not yet attempted." Out of the more than 500 campaign promises made by President Obama, he has kept more than 75% of these promises and has plans for keeping even more.
Then you might want to read Michael Grumwald's (2012) book, "The New New Deal: The Hidden Story of Change in the Obama Era" and begin to recognize the comparisons between the rather incredible President Obama and another beloved nation-saving Democrat, Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
Our nation's next President will be Hillary Clinton, and in the 2014 mid-term elections the American people will also be OUSTING the DO-NOTHING OBSTRUCTIONIST RIGHTWING REPUBLICANS who had themselves a secret meeting on Capital Hill on Inauguration Day, January 20, 2009 to make a pact to deliberately BLOCK every single initiative presented by the nation's first elected man of color, Barack Obama: Robert Draper's (2012), "Do Not Ask What Good We Do: Inside the U.S. House of Representatives." Let's all VOTE DEMOCRATS in 2014 and give President Obama back his HIGHLY PRODUCTIVE Democrat-controlled Congress that would duplicate the 111th Democrat-led Congress C-SPAN News lauded as the "MOST PRODUCTIVE Congress since Eisenhauer days." The current GOP-controlled House has been rated by C-SPAN News to be the LEAST PRODUCTIVE Congress in more than 60 years."

Major item Obama promised was health care reform, and the Affordable Care Act passed. bin Laden was no longer of interest to G.W. Bush but Obama reactivated the special group that G.W. had disbanded and they got Osama bin Laden. The Lily Ledbetter Act-Equal Pay for Equal Work passed. The stock market has rebounded from a low of under 7000 when G.W. went home to Texas to over 15,500. today.
So, the people who didn't have health insurance or couldn't get health insurance due to pre existing conditions are now insured. Women who were paid less than-men for the same work can now make same money as their co workers. The capitalists and investors=ors should be dancing in the streets. The banks that are too big to fail have been bailed out. bin Laden is 60 fathoms deep.
There must be something you wanted that you didn't get, enlighten us, other than you "feeling" that Obama has not delivered. If you want to place blame take a look at the Republican/Tea Party dominated House of Representatives not the White House.

Because the Republicans continue to offer unelectable candidates.
The 2012 election was the Republican's to lose, and they did.

Given that there is only one Republican that has a chance, Christie. Someone so distant from the Tea party faction, he has no chance of being nominated, that yes, there will be another Democrat as President and she'll do just fine.
