Why did serious violent acts start trending steadily up when obama was elected?

the mentality of the country changed the day after the election, after that day, nothing was ever the same and things changed forever, crime being one of these changes
 
Obama's election and the uptick in violence have a common cause, the economic collapse in 2008. But you know it wasn't steady. It levelled off again according to your link.
 
There is actually a correlation between unemployment and crime rates. This is a fact supported by research. Desperation, stress, and too much time drive people to commit crimes.

During Obama's first 1-2 years in office the unemployment rate went up. The unemployment rate was already going up before Obama took office.
