Obama still has the advantage of a sycophantic (psychopathic?) mainstream media. Bush got all the blame for what happened in New Orleans after Katrina, but the corrupt mayor, *Ray Nagin, was much more at fault. And Gov. Kathleen Blanco did little to mitigate the aftermath of the disaster.
*In 2014 Nagin was convicted of 20 out of 21 charges of wire fraud, bribery, and money laundering related to bribes from city contractors before and after Hurricane Katrina.—Wikipedia
But slowly, Obama is even losing the “sycophantic (psychopathic?) mainstream media” over this.
