It absolutely was because it was all about making an issue out of the actions of their adversaries. If it wasn't about finger pointing, they would never have broken the promise.
People accept that politicians lie, they accept the broken promises, they think their votes don't matter, they don't show up for elections. It was going on before Clinton lied and it's pathetic. It's almost a toss up when it comes to who I am more annoyed at, the voter or the politicians. In the end I have to blame the politicians more because they want and claim to be leaders yet the vast majority fail to set a good example. Progress will continue to be slow so long as the finger pointing is allowed to remain the primary activity of both parties. It's not about what needs to be done for the country it's all about how the "other guy" is doing "everything" wrong.
