Obama is a tall Hawaiian (so they say) non-evangelical Protestant who is athletic, typically dresses impeccably and has (double) Ivy League credentials.
Carter was a short Georgian evangelical Protestant who was non-athletic, once wore a Cardigan, and attended the Naval Academy.
Considering the drive-by media lionize politically correct athletes (preferably tall and well-dressed), put down the South (other than South Florida) and have a fascination with Hawaii (see Magnum, Five-O etc.), fawn at anything smacking of Ivy League, tear down the military and demonize evangelicals, it is no surprise that, despite the fact that both Carter and Obama steered the Republic far to the Left, Obama is the one with the higher public approval.
Even if we say Obama is from big-city Chicago and Carter from small-town Plains, the analysis remains the same since we know which of the two the drive-by media blame for anything bad that happens.

Spot on. The media is responsible for most of his inflated approval rating.

"He talks socialism and cloaks it in words like fairness and income equity. The chains of our oppression are wrapped in those soothing words. But no matter how comfortable they try to make those shackles, they chafe patriots to no end.

People who are politically aware that don't believe you can give away the Treasury and still be solvent are in a minority these days.
Due to coins from the Taxpayer/Treasury to government union make work jobs and all sorts of assistance down to Obamaphones, the people are resting quite nicely and are fairly oblivious to the economic super volcano about to go off below them.

There is only ONE reason why Obama is still so popular. A famous (infamous) man once said “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.” MSM, back to you!

At least five major factors [in the author's mind] seem to play a part:
(1) Americans views of the presidency;
(2) Obamas racial make-up;
(3) his party affiliation;
(4) the mainstream medias (MSMs) bias on his behalf; and
(5) Americans tendency to accord very low priority to politics.
Note that none of the "major factors" listed by the author have any reference to B.O's intentional initiatives aimed at the destruction of our country.

Five factors? More like one, A LOT of Americans are STUPID beyond description!
