have a better idea of what's good for the U.S. than many actual Americans do. While the President is getting high marks abroad for things such as drawing down wars and crafting certain deals and prioritizing the safety net, his marks domestically are much lower. RWers see him as a weakling and as a "handout" president, and he gets attacked even from those who are supposedly from the same party. This country is unable to appreciate something good until it's gone.
