Uh, Slick Willie was just delighted to take credit for that boom, wasn't he? I can remember many times when he did so. "Are you better off than you were four years ago?" Remember that? Just one of many examples. Now if you want to argue that the President has little to do with the economy, I'll go along with that. That's Steven's position. But it also means Clinton was a poseur, a liar, a fool, or an ignoramus. (And it also means Bush is not responsible for the current difficulties.) But Slick did not disclaim credit for the bubble; he reveled in it. OK. He wanted the credit for the good. He gets the blame for the bad. Fair's fair. Back in '97 I was wondering what rotten fish would float to the surface once the bubble burst. Well, here they are. This happens after every bull market.
