Get a grip Axxon.

The first term was pretty good at worst. The second term stumbles have made virtually no one happy, although there's still quite a gap about which stumbles were the most troublesome. Specifically, I don't even think Iraq makes my top three gripes (at least not in terms of presence). Low approval ratings are virtually assured when you've got one contingent unhappy about the things he's done and a whole different contingent upset with the things he didn't do, the latter being the group I fall solidly into.

There's one school of thought that suggests that if you're upsetting two highly divergent groups, you're probably doing a decent job of splitting the middle (not a theory I'm prone to subscribing to, but it still exists).
