quote: The usual 8-year presidential turnover cycle will be replaced by 4-year cycle as a norm. What "usual 8-year presidential turnover cycle?" Washington--8 years John Adams--4 Jefferson--8 Madison--8 Monroe--8 John Quincy Adams--4 Jackson--8 Van Buren--4 Harrison--1 month Tyler--4 Polk--4 Taylor--1 year, 4 months Fillmore--2 years, 8 months Pierce--4 Buchanan--4 Lincoln--4 years, 1 month Andrew Johnson--4 Grant--8 Hayes--4 Garfield--6 months Arthur--3 years, 6 months Cleveland--4 years Harrison--4 years Cleveland--4 more years McKinley--4 years, 6 months Theodore Roosevelt--7 years, 6 months Taft--4 years Wilson--8 years Harding--2 years, 5 months Coolidge--5 years, 7 months Hoover--4 years Franklin D. Roosevelt--12 years, 1 month Truman--7 years, 11 months Eisenhower--8 years Kennedy--2 years, 10 months Lyndon B. Johnson--5 years, 2 months Nixon--5 years, 7 months Ford--2 years, 5 months Carter--4 years Reagan--8 years George H. W. Bush--4 years Clinton--8 years George W. Bush--8 years Barack Obama--10 months and counting Eleven Presidents, out of 44, served 8 years. I guess 25% is the new "usual."

If you keep it to recent history it is three of the last four, spanning 28 years.

Cherry picking to get the numbers desired doesn't establish a pattern. Take it just from 1950, if we're to play that game--4 out of ten. Or from 1900, only 30%, 6 out of 20. Hey, I know! Just go from 2000--100%!

Or, if we count back how long this usual pattern persisted....oh.....two. OK, but after a four year term, then.....oh...one.

Bush's four years, then only Reagan's eight years...from there we have to go back to Eisenhower to find a President serving eight years. Again, hardly the "usual" pattern.] Huh?
