it seeeeeemed that way. I don't know how you can objectively measure it. There are some differences of course. Clinton enjoyed a big economic boom and had a republican congress to mollify the butt hurt conservatives. So things were able to appear smoother.

However, Rush Limbaugh already had a rapt audience of gloomy nodders getting their marching orders daily, Ken Starr had the independent council seeking every angle from paula jones to vince foster as ways to bring down the clintons. And the neo con movement admit themselves that their new brand of conservatism was a response to the clinton era and what they deemed to be the straying of american foreign character.

But bottom line, yeah, my impression is that it isn't specifically obama. the religious right will never be willing to compromise no matter how solidly they are demoted to the kids table.
