A succession of presidents?

I'll continue with the Edwards sermon soon. I read this a few moments ago and laughed to myself.

Sen. Barack Obama, the Democrats' presumptive presidential nominee, rejected lifting the drilling moratorium that has been supported by a succession of presidents for nearly two decades. Bush to Congress: Embrace energy exploration now

Let's see... it was 1994, I believe, when this moratorium was decided upon. The president then was Bill Clinton. The only other president we've had has been George W. Bush. And he is now removing his support for the moratorium.

It just made me chuckle that the article makes it sound like a "succession of presidents for nearly two decades" is any more than one president who resolutely supported it.

Anyway. On to bigger and more important things.
