The Nasdaq is still up %130 from when Bill took office , including the bubble and its aftermath.

>Nadine has answered on that point.

Only if you believe in the triumph of spin over reason. You can argue all you want with the numbers, the result remains. The key words you should review in order to get the point is "including the bubble and its aftermath". And, I might add, preceding it as well. Eventually, Nadine was forced to concede that the Clinton era's relative reduction in the growth of the national debt was a good thing. She then got back into lame blame game mode by reference to an undefined correction speciously based on 9-11.

Clinton may have lacked experience. That's far different from Bush's proven lack of competence. And, yes if his leadership in the private sector was such a saga of corruption, cronyism, misuse of privilege and utter failure one should expect that all of this would continue to taint his presidency. His history has essential relevance. As to his advisors, you know the saying: "A Fish Rots From the Head Down". That stink is all over the U.S. economy and has been for 2 1/2 years. The complete failure of Bush's economic plan(?) is something that the mask of jingoism cannot hide. Here's hoping that things improve.

If fact, no one has answered my original simple question. Do you think that Nasdaq will be higher at the end of George's term(s) than at the beginning?
