Sinister conspiracy theory

Who has been blamed for America's woes in the past?
Communists? Jews? Unions? The military-industrial complex? Masons? Catholics?

Bush Snr: left-handed.
Clinton: first left-handed president to succeed a left-handed president.
Clinton: first left-handed president to be re-elected.
Bush Jnr: second left-handed president to succeed a left-handed president.
Bush Jnr: second left-handed president to be re-elected.
Obama: left-handed.
