especially as the Clinton/Gore recession takes hod of our economy.

The '90's boom had nothing to do with Clinton/Gore, and nothing to do with Reagan/Bush either. The current slide - it isn't a recession yet, and may or may not become one - has nothing to do with Clinton/Gore either. Political vagaries have very little real effect on business and market cycles; other factors (in this case, demographics and technological cycles) are far more significant.

It should also be pointed out that the current stock market "crash" is not a crash at all, it is simply a restoration of sanity in valuation of certain sectors. If you don't believe that, look at a 10-year chart of any major index. We are still way above 10-year median levels.

Clinton did not make the sky fall. The sky isn't even falling. There is no special need for melodrama, even if it's ideologically gratifying.
