Après Moi, Le Deluge:

"Après moi, le deluge," he said. After me, the disaster.
As Bill Clinton left office in January 2001, America was outraged by his final insult to the integrity of his office-the pardons he granted to the rich, corrupt, and underserving. But only months later we learned of his final, horrific insult to us-that he had bequeathed to George W. Bush three ticking time bombs that would shortly explode: al Qaeda, Iraq, and North Korea.
President Calvin Coolidge's name was forever blackened after the apparently prosperous economy he left his successor, Herbert Hoover, imploded in a stock market crash seven months later.
