At the end of the day, it's results we all care about. The stock market is a pretty good harbinger of things to come and it is also a good longer term judge of how a President did during their tenure. Here are the historical results:

Clinton 20-Jan-01 1,342.55 310% 15.2%

The truth is that by any measure, Bush Jr. was an unmitigated disaster for this country.
