Bush in 2000 won 47.9% of voters (less than Gore’s 48.4%)
Bush in 2004 won 50.7% of voters
Obama in 2008 won 52.9 % of voters
so whatever mandate you think Obama doesn’t have, Bush had even less, and it sure didn’t slow him down trying to enact his version of giving to the wealthy and corporate America.
