Personally, i think the tendency for the government to become stronger and more centralized started as a response to the merry band of ragheads that decided to park a couple airliners into the twin towers. It then flowered with W's copious use of Signing statements and strengthening of presidential power, continues on with Obama, and will probably keep on continuing so long as the terrorism continues to be, or be thought of, as a threat. The next decade is going to be mighty interesting.
BTW, politics sucks.
