Frankly the economy was a ton better under Bill. He had the good fortune to run into some lucky timing with the tech boom but at least he had the good sense not to screw it up.
My issue with Cinton was that in a blatent attempt to keep the market climbing he kept pulling restriction after restriction off of the failsafes, and while many never saw a calamity test those gambles, some of those lax laws led to the issues we see today. I mean bush did many of the same things in different sectors, but still, for a guy who believes that what a president does often doesnt have a full impact for a decade or more after he enacts a policy or law, I find fault with a lot of Clinton's moves back then...
