This is the point four consecutive terms of presidential failure and congressional failure, in almost every area. This is an American record, surpassing the Taylor-Fillmore-Pierce-Buchanan run-up to the Civil War, and the presidents in the 1920s (Harding, Coolidge, Hoover) who gave the country isolationism, the closing down of immigration, enforcement of Prohibition and the Great Depression. In the circumstances, it is a testament to the strength of American democracy that the leader of the opposition isnt a rabble-rousing street bully like Mussolini.
In a nutshell...
More like 27 years, 3 months, 17 days, 1 hour and 25 minutes.
But who's counting?
