In American politics, the term Lame Duck means a president who has, through the victory of the other party in an election, lost his ability to push his agenda. This president, as Bardock pointed out, still gets what he wants. So, in america at least, the term does not apply.Lame, now that's a term that applies.

Bush = Not the greatest thing this century either.
Most of those lost and their relatives might actually might not agree, along with most of the free thinking world, at least as far as plotical (sic) happenings have been so far this century..
And thats without considering the mood of fear and liberty restrictions he and his dad's old workplace(CIA)'s former goldenboy Bin Laden on the "opposite" side has defined this century by so far....
