I guess I'd blame the same entity which saw Bush's last 2 years go from Republican House/Senate to Democratic House/Senate, the same entity which has Clinton a Republican House/Senate in his last 2 years, the same entity which had Bush senior with Democratic House/Senate in his last 2 years, the same entity which saw Reagan have Democratic House/Senate in his last 2 years.
The last president not to have this was CARTER. Well he must have been doing a fine job to have Democratic House/Senate, best pressie ever, right?
It's quite bizarre the lack of history most people have.
So who is this entity?
Well it's the voters. The voters, as a whole, as so damn stupid, that they can't see the difference between the legislature and executive. They can't understand why things are as they are. They will vote based on popularity and after 6 years the president just isn't that popular any more. People want a new person every 2 years, not every 8. Seeing the same guy in the media for EIGHT YEARS, I mean, not even Justin "I'm a bit of a.." Beaver will be going for 8 years.
