Jim Dandy: Probably true. Blame the media on his rise to fame. Idiots like those on MSNBC were getting "chills up and down their legs" (seriously, who in the media talks like that about politicians???). Also, Obama made many promises, numerous claims, and when the reality of the Presidency hit him, he had to break promises etc. So in some ways he set himself up for his drop in popularity.

It's interesting that within a year one began hearing liberals talk of buyers remorse. Put "buyers remorse obama" in a good search. Interesting.
