Barack Obama and George Bush have at least one thing in common when it comes to the second terms they won — the first year of their encores have been downers when it came to their public images. Both experienced falloffs in overall job approval and in Americans’ perceptions of their leadership, ability to get things done and trustworthiness.

Difference here is given the same time frames of both administrations, at this point the media was CONSTANTLY touting the death count of our soldiers, politicians spouting over and over "worst economy since the great depression!!", everything wrong was Bush's fault, etc..etc. Contrast that to sparky's today; everything he does is "fabulous!!!", he is a visionary, he is pulling for the little guy, etc..etc. obama is just a loser even with a culpable media covering for him.

Yep. Can you imagine a conservative journalist comparing Bush’s SOTU to sex?

Exactly. Even with the media covering up every bad thing about Obama, they can’t escape the reality of his actions.
