It does feel like whack-a-mole. It kind of seems like changing administrations improved few issued, just made the information about them more scattered, fragmented and obscured by jargon.
My feeling about this is threefold: 1. the press was far more able to focus on the issues when guided by brazenly draconian administration; 2. Bush ideologues were aggressive about giving their supporters jobs at all levels, rooting policy deep in the governing infrastructure where it is harder to undo; 3. the Obama administration is clearly more conservative, reactive and/or passive than they seem.
