A tale of 2 Families
I forget which political show I saw this on or even who did the report, but i remember that the guy reading his commentary said something that really struck me.
Basically, despite who you have voted for and who you would vote for or even support, there is something fundementally skewed when 2 families begin to assume 20+ years of leadership.
Here is the breakdown:
Bush Snr - 4 years in office
Bill Clinton - 8 years
GW Bush - 8 years
(if elected) Hillary 4-8 years.
Basically, This would mean that approximitly a quarter of a century would have either a Clinton or Bush in office.
I know I am not doing this the same level of detail that the original guy did. But even so, despite what one's political belief is, it does create an interesting thought.
I meant to add this to the OP, this thought is best looked at from a objective non-party based point of view. I realize if you are pro-Rep or pro-Dem it is easy to start saying the "Yes, but..."
I guess my point is sometimes I feel like we have moved from a Republic to a Semi-Monarch based government.
