The "stink of death" started when Bush was elected to his second and final term in office. Its that's happened to all 2nd term Presidents, regardless of party, since FDR. Since they can't run again they gradually loose influence as it winds down. You Canadians can keep a guy in office forever theoretically i guess, but an American president has at most 8 years in office. The 2nd four of which he has an ever more tougher time pushing his agenda.
