Re: "But if you're going to make the crude argument — as Gephardt basically does — that the president is automatically responsible for everything that happens economically during his time in office, well, then Clinton is responsible for the NASDAQ crash in the spring of 2000, the decline of manufacturing and industrial productivity in 2000, and the loss of some 200,000 manufacturing jobs before Bush took office." ---from your posted, just so the fools here get another chance to fail to counter the truth.

Revisionist history versus fact. Clinton's economy was the strongest of our lifetimes and he deserves full credit. He made some tough choices and his people were excellent. Perhaps luck helped him out, but that doesn't matter. The figures and facts are indisuputable. The Bushies are just terribly jealous and would like to erase this historical fact. There never was a Clinton recession. That was all a big lie by jealous wannabes working for Bush re-election campaign. Bush has performed terribly on the economy. Whatever tepid jobs improvement we get now will be terribly expensive, perhaps as much as $1,000,000 per job (based on 300,000 new jobs by next year)
