Even Carter? hmmm.... As far as Clinton, I think the voters made their choice known.
I respect the office and would never be disrespectful If I were interviewing Bush. However, the deal in America is that the president is still a man, not chosen by divine intervention. If he screws up, and he has, he needs to take the heat. It's an American tradition.
