I rarely engage in political commentary, but with the U.S. elections just around the corner and every wingnut aflutter, I must ask...
The Republicans have had control of the Executive and the legislature, and exerted tremendous influence over the judiciary for close to five years now. During this time, the U.S. has experienced the worst attack on its soil over 50 years; fewer people earn a living wage and/or have health insurance; both North Korea and Iran are gearing up to join the Nuke Club; a record surplus dissolved into record debt; over half a million Iraqis are dead in a badly destabilized neighborhood; and the guy behind the bombings of two Embassies, one naval vessel, a significant financial center and the national military headquarters is still at large.
These guys have had the reins for five years.
When are they going to stop blaming their problems on Bill Clinton?

I'm just saying, the view from the outside: Gigi's nursery school is not a model of government. Pick up your toys and play nice, set an example for the other kids.
