While I understand this sentiment, I wonder to what extent this
administration, or ANY administration determines the course of the 
country rather than
reflects it.  We made an abrupt change in the makeup of government this 
time, but
was it because government had changed or because we had changed?

The war in Iraq kept the looming oil and financial crisis at bay for a few
more years, but the scheme is unravelling fast now.

Saying, says I, that in the past it didn't matter so much who was in office
is simply another way of saying that in the past the insane lifestyle 
choices
we (collectively) embraced didn't matter so much.  Now they do.  The 
junkyard
dog we've had in office has served our true ends well enough.  He can't 
now.
Yet it doesn't follow that if there had been someone else in office, it 
would
have been materially different.

A new tack now, says I, but still sailing through the same debris as before.
