  I'm sure that's it.

  Not all of it but it is some of it.
  
  I don't have the data nor am I going to find it but I bet almost all presidents are received better after they are out of office than when they are it.

  Obama Faces Setbacks In Economic Talks With Chinese, South Korean Leaders.
  Coverage of the President's appearance at the G20 summit in Seoul is generally negative, saying that the meeting has been disappointing for Obama and has failed to advance US goals. Many reports say the US midterm election results have weakened Obama's position, and that setbacks in economic talks with Chinese and South Korean leaders reflect this.
  
  ABC World News (11/11, story 2, 2:00, Sawyer) reported the President "is trying to put the best face he can on the diplomatic disappointment during the economic summit. ... Chinese said no to leveling the currency playing field, and the South Koreans balked at buying more US goods, which would pump up American jobs." ABC (Tapper) added, "At their joint appearance here in Seoul, President Obama tried to put a positive spin on his failure to push the South Koreans on a free trade agreement." Obama: "We believe that such an agreement, if done right, can a win-win for our people." Tapper: "But so far, South Korea will not open its markets in any meaningful way to American beef or, perhaps most contentiously, cars." And Obama "made no progress convincing Chinese president Hu Jintao to stop what the White House believes to be the artificial weakening of China's currency."
  
  The CBS Evening News (11/11, story 3, 2:15, Couric) reported the President "had some tough talk for the north on this Veterans Day, but on the issues of job, trade, and taxes, it was a day of disappointment and confusion." CBS (Reid) added, "In South Korea, the President saluted veterans of the Korean War and the 28,000 US troops who still stand guard here today against a hostile nuclear armed North Korea. ... But that moment of national pride was followed by disappointment, a press conference that was supposed to be a celebration of a free trade agreement with South Korea fell flat."
  
  NBC Nightly News (11/11, lead story, 3:20, Williams) opened by reporting, "It's being called an embarrassing setback and it happened" to the President "today on foreign soil. The President went on this big Asian trip talking about bringing jobs home. He's in Seoul, Korea at a G-20 summit of world powers, and he went into this thinking he was going to sign a trade deal with South Korea today. But that didn't happen. What happened instead on the other side of the world will bounce right back here to the US." The AP (11/11, Feller), AFP (11/11, Collinson), the Wall Street Journal (11/12, Weisman, Paletta, subscription required), the Financial Times (11/11, Beattie, Oliver, subscription required), Reuters (11/11), the Los Angeles Times (11/12, Parsons, Kim), the New York Times (11/12, Chan, Stolberg, Sanger), the Washington Times (11/12, Hill), and USA Today (11/12, Macleod) alo cover the story.
  
  US-South Korea Trade Pact Suffers "Sharp Setback." The New York Times (11/12, Stolberg) says while "from Seoul to Washington, business leaders, foreign policy analysts and diplomats were convinced" that Obama and South Korean counterpart Lee Myung-bak "would wrap up a free trade accord during a meeting" Thursday, the two "emerged empty-handed, arriving at their joint news conference to say that they had instructed their negotiators to keep at it a little while longer." The Washington Post (11/12, Wilson, Schneider) says Obama's "inability to secure a free-trade agreement with South Korea reveals in sharp relief the limits of his leverage overseas after a devastating midterm election."
  
  The AP (11/11, Olsen) calls it "a sharp setback to hopes of speedily ratifying the ambitious accord." The Los Angeles Times (11/12, Lee, Glionna, Parsons) writes that the "limits of Obama's bargaining power -- eroded by the frail domestic economy and devastating Democratic losses at the polls -- was reflected in the president's failure to wrap up" the agreement.
  
  The Christian Science Monitor (11/12, Kirk) says Obama and Lee "sought to appear optimistic about overcoming obstacles. But Obama also warned the agreement needed 'popular support' and it was necessary 'to make sure the case is airtight' -- a reference to the problems the deal is expected to face in the US Congress." AFP (11/11, Tandon) reports Senate Foreign Relations Chairman John Kerry "predicted Thursday that Congress will support a free trade deal with South Korea, but opponents hoped the failure to meet a key deadline would lead to a rethink." The Wall Street Journal (11/12, Davis, Williamson, subscription required) says while talks continue, the failure to meet Obama's self-imposed deadline is a blow to the President's prestige.

  I've said it before: Obama is the worst president of my lifetime -- and that includes Carter. He has NO CLUE what he's doing, and he's a partisan hack on top of it. The Chicago Way doesn't work in Washington as Obama has discovered, much to his dismay, I'm sure. At least under Carter, while we had ridiculous inflation and gas shortages, there was growth in the economy. And at least Carter led to Reagan. We don't yet know who will follow Obama...
• cbus4life

  I think Reagan will follow Obama. He isn't dead.
  
  But seriously, i wouldn't mind seeing someone like Mitch Daniels make a run for it. I've always been impressed with him, and he is a Princeton man, not a Harvard man, which would probably work in his favor. Princeton is crazy conservative compared to Harvard.

  Yeah, because most of them are brain dead or have their heads wrapped in tin foil.
  
  Tell you this much: I NEVER felt like Bush would do anything deliberately to hurt this country or put it down in any way (he didn't).
  
  You cannot say the same about Obama -- which is why he scares me. I think he resents the US for its place in the world and wants to see it brought down a peg and "even" with the family of nations crap.
  
  And before you ask why I think he feels that way it's simple: the people he trained and learned from DO feel that way, very overtly. I don't see the apple falling far from the tree.

  Ehh, I literally heard the same thing from liberals during the Bush years. How, his reliance on Cheney and neocons will lead the country down a road where we cannot recover, where torture and rendition will go on, where war crimes will occur and on and on.
  
  You say the apple doesn't go far from the tree, well I heard that about Bush too, as he relied too much on Cheney, Bolton, Wolfiwitz, and Rumsfeld and how he put too much adherence to his faith and did not use reason, but "his gut".
  
  I didn't believe it then and don't now.
  You are pretty much making the same accusations with circumstantial/ rumor evidence to support your own personal view of the President.
  That's fine, but is what liberals did all 8 years of the Bush years.

  Sorry, ptown, but I don't think there's any equivocating the two situations. One guy had the media parading every mistake and even making stuff up before the '04 election (Texas Air Guard); the other guy has the media covering for him.

  I'll agree the media loved Obama, but it wash right wing media that spread the accusations like Obama wasn't an American, he was a Muslim, and had insanely close ties to Rev Wright therefore he was a racist and hated America, etc.
  
  I'll agree it was not the same level as Bush over the eight years, but so far since 2008, it has been pretty close.
