He wasn't, but the trend is for two terms of one party, and two of another. The policy mood of the country follows suit. The policy mood of the country becomes more liberal under a GOP POTUS, and more conservative under a Democrat. This is why, since FDR, you've only seen three terms of one party in a row. It's not how the mood of the country flows. It's why I said back when Clinton was leading big in the polls that she would be a one-term POTUS.
