Clinton suffered in his second term because of the scandals and doing things like NAFTA and making China a preferred trade partner and for white water. Not because the economy was doing poorly, when it comes to that, the country was in a good place.
Obama just has shown no interest in running the country.
We're having a crisis of illegal aliens crossing the border and Obama wants money for lawyers and more places to keep them, when most people would think to just stop the illegal aliens from entering the country, then deal what we already have. These kids have not had their shots and many have been quarantined. Yet Obama will not send troops to the border like Gov Perry asked.
The VA crisis pissed off every veteran in the country, myself included, he promised to fix that and because of people falsifying documents, we thought they had fixed the system.
NSA is still spying on people that they don't have a legal right to do.
Lois Lerners emails came up missing and the IRS who had a 1.5 billion a year IT department can't find them. And she is still claiming the 5th.
The middle east is going to complete shit in a basket.
Even MSNBC is starting to comment on the negative shit going on.
Obama's poll numbers going down has only himself to blame

The poll itself states that most of those things have little or no impact on how people feel about Obama. It is all about the economy.
When you get to question 43 they ask what is the most important problem facing the country. #1 with 35% is economy. Politicians and campaigns is next with 12% and the next highest is healthcare at 6%.
Here is the interesting thing to me. They ask who the worst president since WW2 has been and Obama is first, followed by GW Bush then Nixon. They also ask who has been the best president since WW2 and Obama ranks 4th behind Clinton, Reagan, and Kennedy. How can he simultaneously be the worst president we have had, yet at the same time be the 4th best? The funniest part is that in that question (who is the best president) republican respondents had him higher than GW Bush, Clinton, Ford, Nixon, Carter, and Jonson and they had him tied with Eisenhower and Truman.
