Nov 2013

The NSA, CIA and other spook agencies are permanent residents in DC. Presidents are only passing through.
The Viet Nam War (The Prez had no choice since we were attacked. Only the attack did not happen at all)
The Iraq War (The Prez was a victim of misinformation from 'curve ball')
Iran Contra (The Prez claimed ignorance of the entire affair and may well have been)

I am afraid that waiting for 2016 won't help.
