tried to blame everything on the previous administration. It is about time he put the blame where it belongs -- on the excesses of the Clinton* (*impeached) years. As I've previously pointed out, Clinton's lies about the economy led people to believe the business climate was better than it was. We're paying the price now. It was clear before this crash that a price would have to be paid, and that is why Greenspan referred to it as "Irrational Exhuberance" -- an apt description of the Clinton years. Let me give you a wakeup call.....the economy was good for 8 beautiful years. We had a president who understood Eco. 101 and that's 'cause he wasn't out with his fraternity bros getting trashed and killing off brain cells. And unlike you, I do think its important that a president not be stupid. You're bored explanation for the behavior of the very brainy was interesting and fairly well thought out but wasn't terribly appropriate for the presidency considering that its tenure at best is only 8 short years and even the largest IQ would have to find the diversity of the challenges that come with being the leader of the most powerful and complex nation on the planet pretty absorbing. That's why I didn't vote for a babbling, somewhat pickled, former frat boy. What's your excuse? Oh, yeah, you were afraid a smart man might get bored. Right!
