I think there is a certain percentage of conservatives in the US that do and always have thought that Obama was a colossal failure, and now the people in the middle are even more fed up with the general gridlock lack of anything, and the fact that the entire world economy remains in the doldrums (with the US as one of the relative few outliers clinging to a modest growth pattern).
I am pretty certain that almost no balanced historians looking back at the Obama presidency will will put it anywhere near the bottom of the heap. His movements were ALWAYS measured and incremental, and aimed at long term institutional capacity/stability. people get pissed off because he refuses to point double-barreled shotguns at any problem (the right hates that he won't do this in global affairs and the left hates that he won't do it in domestic affairs) --- but that is the sort of strategy that history is kind to.
the booger-eating-moronic Goebbels like comparisons will ALWAYS disappear over time.
