The President's approval rating has not topped 50 percent since May, and now falls below Jimmy Carter's approval rating at the same point in their presidencies.

Does Obama Think It's Beneath Him to Be President?
By Michael Goodwin at Fox News
He’s so bad at the job that the frequent comparisons to Jimmy Carter are unfair to Carter. The former peanut farmer was a terrible president, but he was at least sincere in his starchy disdain for the country.
Obama professes to really, really like America. He just wants to change everything about it.
And when the country says no thanks, he goes off script and the smears come out. We’re “soft” and “lazy” and “bitter” and “cling” to God and guns.

Congratulations, Jimmy Carter! You’re Not the Most Unpopular President Any More!
Via John Hayward at Human Events
President Obama's slow ride down Gallup's daily presidential job approval index has finally passed below Jimmy Carter, earning Obama the worst job approval rating of any president at this stage of his term in modern political history.
Since March, Obama's job approval rating has hovered above Carter's, considered among the 20th century's worst presidents, but today Obama's punctured Carter's dismal job approval line. On their comparison chart, Gallup put Obama's job approval rating at 43 percent compared to Carter's 51 percent.

Tim Pawlenty: 'Barack Obama is the Barney Fife of presidents,' like Jimmy Carter
By Marc Caputo at The Miami Herald
Romney's campaign co-chair and former rival, former Minn. Gov. Tim Pawlenty, said President Obama and the Democrats are doing all they can to avoid talking about jobs.
"Barack Obama is the Barney Fife of presidents," Pawlenty said, calling Obama's performance "stumbling, bumbling, ineffective" and reminiscent of Jimmy Carter.

Obama and Liberal Intelligentsia Shed Dignity Ahead of 2012 Election
By Russ Smith at Splice
Barack Obama has yet to add a “killer rabbit” incident in his growing list of parallels to Jimmy Carter’s failed presidency, and his quiver of good luck arrows isn’t so depleted that he’s attracted a principled Democrat to mount a challenge for the Party’s nomination, but as 2011 dwindles away into holiday distraction, the erstwhile political magician is running out of gas. That’s Obama’s car in America’s ditch right now, and the owner shows little interest in repairing the damage. At least the hapless Carter, when Teddy Kennedy announced his primary bid in late-1979, had the gumption and competitive spirit to tell anyone who’d listen that he’d “whip [Kennedy’s] ass. Obama, on the other hand, appears listless and bored, and is apparently counting on winning a second term as the lesser of two evils.

Letter: Obama should quit scolding Americans
Letter to the editor from Chico Enterprise-Record
I'm sick to death of this guy's penchant for purposely making disparaging remarks about our country and its people. Nearly every president (except Jimmy Carter) understood the dynamics of the social psyche enough to know not to cast aspersions on the citizenry —especially during tough economic times. If Reagan had followed Carter with this "woe is me, our country stinks and the people are a bunch of losers" nonsense, we'd still be in the Carter recession.
