There is always some excuse. I remember people telling me - in *total* seriousness - "just wait until Clinton's Second Term, then you'll see. He has to be careful now, so he can secure a Second Term. Then he'll get really radical". Whereas of course, people like Bush and Cheney get really radical from the get go.
