No.
I remember distictly the difference between what was going on in America in 2000 and what has been going on since day 1 of Obama's presidency.
The focus of FOX News and others on the right on getting Obama out of office became nauseating after the first 6 months.
In 2000, the hang up was on the election in the first place-- many thought that Gore should have won it. The focus was on making sure that the confusion never happens again. Then there was the dot com bust and the ............ economy. Dems were focused on getting a stronger hold on the House and Senate-- not on the Presidency. Then there was 9/11 and a brief period of solidarity.
Bottom line, it hasn't been the same.
Many conservatives became consumed very quickly on getting Obama out of office-- fed by FOX and other right-winged talking heads. My guess is that it was good for their ratings.
