I don't know. I guess because its statistically proven to be more difficult to vote out an incumbent president when there is a popular war just starting up. Just like its statistically proven to be more difficult to preserve your party's power over the presidency during an economic down-turn.

These are verifiable, provable trends, so that distinguishes them from your whitey-with-a-guilt-complex model.
