As the old saying goes "You can have your own opinion, but you can't have your own facts"
He won both but not by large margins.
Percent of popular vote
Bush-50.73% 2004
Obama-51.06% 2012
Voter turnout percent
Bush-55.27% 2004
Obama-57.5% 2012
So Obama only got less than one percent of the popular vote MORE than Bush did after both had been in office for 4 years. Since Bush was hated from the moment he got in, you would think that Obama could have gotten a much bigger popular vote.

Er-uh, Nosepicker--
Obama was not running against George W. Bush. It was John McCain that he whupped in 2008. Just a much-needed refresher course in election history for you.
Uhh, upside down, those numbers refer to the respective popular votes won by each candidate at the same point in their political career. I should have been more specific but I thought that saying
''So Obama only got less than one percent of the popular vote MORE than Bush did after both had been in office for 4 years.'' would have been sufficient for most people. But I forgot that liberals loose all power of thought if you bring up GW Bush.
So since you can't focus, I will make this really simple.
After 4 years in office, both Obama and Bush got almost the same popular vote.
Is that easier for your brain to digest?
