Bill, we do carry part of the guilt for this, but our elected officials didn’t carry out their mandate, and that’s where the real blame belongs. We should have removed those who refused to do so, but we didn’t. And I will even go farther and agree that the second four years was clearly the fault of those who voted in Clinton again.

Absolutely correct. “We the people ...” do not hold the feet of our elected officials to the fire as often and as arduously as we should. But then again “they” (the politicians) count on that.
