from a high of over 5,000 to under 2,500

You certainly are selective in quoting statistics, taking a small slice of time and ignoring the record over all the Clinton years -- I guess that's what Twain meant when he railed against "lies and damned statistics."

In fact, the NASDAQ more than quintupled during the eight years of the Clinton presidency, even with that fall in his last year. Can you name another presidency where a broad stock market index rose by five times?

In fact, almost any economic numbers you can site during the Clinton years show dramatic improvement. If you look at the Clinton economy by the numbers, the only objective way to judge the economy, it seems to me that it has been the best in a generation, if not the best ever.
