IIRC there was a clear hatred in the republican party when Clinton came 
in office right from the start. At least from where I live it seemed as 
if they could not admit they had been defeated in the election and every 
means to correct that was justified. With Bush you had the same problem, 
but now in reverse. So I assumed that was the normal state of US 
government presumably because if they would stop fighting they might 
have to take decisions. US policy never seems to amaze because I have 
not seen much hatred or personals attacks on Obama yet. The only 
exception may be Dick Cheney, but he is desperately trying to stay out 
of prison, so he does not count that much in my opinion.
