Neither Dems or Repubs are willing to recognize their failures.  The Dems won't acknowledge Clinton and Obama failing at this, and the Repubs won't acknowledge GW failing at it, either.  I'm curious to see in the end game if this will come out any different for this admin.  It could be that it's getting so bad the Chinese step in and really help out.  But, us using the same old approach?  Ain't gonna work, no matter whether it's Dem or Repub.
