You don't want to look at the end, you want the middle. The middle of Clinton's administration, he had a big fight going on with Gingrich and the house Republicans, where the big struggle was to try and avoid gridlock. In Bush's case, he had pretty much everything going his way still rolling into 2004 (Iraq was messy, but it had been less than a year since the capture of Saddam so America was still in a more celebratory mood)
In Obama's case, political gridlock has already been reached, so there's nothing but the petty incidents for either side to use.
Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.
