“The Obama-ites also think they get unfair raps. The public believes that the 2009 Obama stimulus plan was an abject failure, even though, according to almost every detached analysis, it created or saved millions of jobs.

Unless the 44th president can start emulating those successes, re-election may be an uphill battle.
