[quote]If Obama hadn’t managed to pull out a victory in the Democratic primary this year, Hillary Clinton almost certainly would have been taking the oath of office next January.
That would have been at least twenty-four years (1989-2013) with four consecutive presidents coming from just two families (Bushes and Clintons). I’m not aware of any other country in the world with such a record

Obviously, but Hillary didn’t win, and ever since we all turned on Bush is power has been dropping, to the point that now he’s weak even for a lame duck – Obama won largely because he managed to equate his opponents with Bush. If anything the tide has turned and the U.S. has become rabidly anti-despotic.
