Obama reminds more and more of Carter as time passes.
While both were elected and initially seen as populist neither was effective in getting political results in Washington DC.
Also Obama/Reid/Pelosi probably miscalculated with ObamaCare. I suspect they thought once it became a
fait accompli that they could move on.
It appears that and the massive and blatant paying off of their 'friends' has further polarized a highly divided nation.
So all this to say that Obama is responsible for his own negative ratings in a manner similar to Bush.
