You must be joking. Eight years of Clinton versus not even 8 months of Pres Bush which included no transition period to speak of, slow approval of his appointees, a lot of Clintonites left due to that slow approval, and you have the audacity to equate the two.
Not even close.
You can't forget the Military Aircraft incident early in Bush's administration. They were also dealing with that.
The enemy uses transitions of government to their advantage....think 1993 WTC. They test the new government and found they could run amok while Clinton was in office.
