The failure of the republicans and Clinton bashing is that the prestige and influence of the Office of the President has been stupidly ignored at the peril of the economy. Washington scrxwed his slaves, Eisenhower had a mistress, Rosevelt played around, Kennedy chased every hot celebrity in a skirt, on and on . . . these things were ignored until afterwards in order to let the person who was elected run the office. Since when was the pope or preacher elected to run the country? IMO, the republican leadership has run as much afoul of their responsibilities as leaders of the will and confidence of the public as has the folly of the president. Two wrongs don't make a right.

Politics aside, (a good way to get into protracted arguments that satisfies no-one), the damage to the President has served as the primary catalyst to the market slide, IMO.
