Obama and the Democrats went wrong by just assuming the policies alone without argumentwould sway the people, and assuming compromise could be reached with the GOP that wished him to be one-term only.
In 2008 and to extent 2012, he managed to get some counter buzzwords to sway the conservatives and moderates and fire up the left to vote for him over Romney.
In between actually running however, he's been purely on the defense, trying to play the long game, hoping the entire GOP will just Palin themselves into oblivion, which isn't quite happening...almost there,but not quite.
But until it's as explicit as Sarah Palin or Todd Akin, the American populace will continue to catch on only to the buzzwords.
And the Dems running away from Obama are even worse about all these things.
