This sounds like a high school student government, with some of the people mad at each other because they have crushes on the same girl, other people mad because one gave the other one a wedgie in eighth grade, the president of the student council letting his lofty position go to his head....

They really do sound like a bunch of immature kids. Maybe all U.S. administrations have been like this, but I actually kind of doubt it, or America would have become a third-rate power long ago.
