CLINTON PRESIDED OVER THE CREATION OF THIS BAD MARKET Talking heads on TV still talk about it, why not here? Your post is very illustrative lest anyone forget, in the face of the relentless superficial talk from Democrats about responsibility and where the market has gone under Bush, just exactly when the bursting bubble happened. In your linked chart I note that between April 26th '99 and April 24th '00(over 6 months before Bush's election), Priceline fell from $163 to $62....and then by election day it was down to $3. But for those who bought this stock at say, $80, they can still blame Bush for a big fall(if they think like Democrats), for after the election the "Bush effect" took over, and by the end of December '00, a month before Bush took office, Priceline was down to $1.31(a greater than 50% drop from $3 at election time because, no doubt, the market doesn't like Bush, LOL). I think we know there are many similar examples debunking those who would have us forget that the great market burst was already an issue prior to the election of Bush, and logically, neither it nor its continuation is Bush's fault. Try putting Lucent or Yahoo into your link with the same time frame(the first two I tried), for example. The results are not pretty for those who choose to believe Clinton was responsible for a great market and Bush for a bad one. Let's keep it simple and pound the table for the truth to be heard...Clinton presided over the creation of this bad market. Dan B
