It's government. The people want Libertarians, they'll come to realize it eventually. Sooner than later. But whatever Obama did (along with Pelosi and Reid), did not change opinion, only for the worse.
Government. Here's Obama's contribution: All time low, since 1958. Note it actually went up during the Reagan years.
His approval rating has been below 50% for almost all his presidency. The less he's on TV and saying things, the more people like him. This was true of Bill Clinton, too.
And note that it actually went down more under Bush 2. And note that there are a lot of reasons for why this happens. The advent of conservative talk radio, 24 hour news channels, the internet/social media etc.
It appears being thin skinned is not confined to the candidate. Really, the campaign ads write themselves. Hillary "His very thin skin" Donald "I am not thin skinned! I am not thin skinned!" Hillary "His very thin skin" Donald "She's a liar! She's a liar! She's a liar! She's a liar!" Hillary "His very thin skin" Donald "Throw her in jail!!!!" Honestly, this is starting to get fun. Spent yesterday walking precincts (ran into a lot of Spanish speaking residents, my Spanish is just good enough to hand Spanish brochure and explain "Estamos voluntarios por Clinton para Presidente, vota martes, gracias Senor/Senora" The man I was partnered with couldn't even pronounce the names so I got all the Hispanic voters despite my primitive Spanish!)
Well, that's kind of the point. Doesn't matter if you put Democrats or Republicans in there, they both make people not like government. We shouldn't like government anyway.
