<<Yet he kept unemployment under 8%>> He was able to do that because he started with unemployment so low after the Clinton years..

He was president for eight years, and had an overall unemployment rate similar to what Clinton had. Presidents get too much blame and too much credit for the economy, but even if you are going to give them that level of credit and blame you can't reasonably give Clinton credit for an eight year average of decent employment under Bush.

Or if you are going to give such long term credit, then you might have to credit Reagan and Volker for Clinton's decent unemployment history.
