The question could have been formulated a bit differently for Bill Clinton:
How did the Yale, Oxford trained Rhode Scholar become the banking-deregulator-in-chief, causing historically unprecedented decline of the United States at home and abroad?
This question cannot be posed relative to Bush II - I don't recall anybody suggesting that he had ever had a mind of his own.
In all three cases, for different reasons, I am in favor of the Iceland approach - prosecute them to the full extent of the law... Clinton, Bush II, Obama...jz

How Washington's Political Culture Turned a Community Organizer Into a Deadly Drone Killer President

Dear President Obama,
Nothing you don’t know, but let me just say it: the world’s a weird place. In my younger years, I might have said “crazy,” but that was back when I thought being crazy was a cool thing and only regretted I wasn’t.
I mean, do you ever think about how you ended up where you are? And I'm not actually talking about the Oval Office, though that’s undoubtedly a weird enough story in its own right.
After all, you were a community organizer and a constitutional law professor and now, if you stop to think about it, here’s where you’ve ended up: you’re using robots to assassinate people you personally pick as targets.
