Rather than tacitly encouraging people to run against him, which is what Bush did, PBO should be fixing the problems that are causing him to lose popularity because, "Some party veterans cautioned that it is futile for Democrats to create a separate identity from that of the White House. Midterm elections are invariably a referendum on the president's performance, said former Sen. Robert Torricelli of New Jersey, who once chaired the Democrats' Senate election committee.

If PBO and the Dems keep sliding the people who elected them are really screwed.
