Obama's popularity (if you believe it) is largely based on his disdain for the Constitution and the Rule of Law.
The Constitution gives CONGRESS the power to make policy on all major areas of Federal concern, including taxes, immigration, the environment, healthcare, education, foreign relations, and so forth.
President Soetoro took it upon himself to ignore, change, re-write, and initiate "legislation" when HE BELIEVED that Congress wasn't doing what he wanted it to do. The examples are too numerous to detail, but consider DACA, the declaration that CO2 is a "harmful pollutant," the Paris Climate Accord, and the Iran Nuke treaty. In all these cases, he ignored the laws, the Constitution, and the prerogatives of Congress to do whatever the fuck he wanted to do. Progressives LOVED it, which made him quite popular with THEM.
But this is the equivalent of a police officer making up new laws, then arresting people for violating them. If you LIKE his laws, then be is a popular policeman, but whether his laws are good or bad is irrelevant; he is violating the obligations of his office.
The Worst. President. Ever.
Some compare him with Presidents who were perceived to be incompetent, but he was much worse than incompetent. He was subversive.
