He was fortunate to be president during the technical revolution.

Exactly. Clinton was lucky just like Bush was unlucky.

Bush was unlucky to be president when the trade towers were destroyed. Unlucky to invade Iraq only to find out they had no WMD. Unlucky to preside over the worst job creation since Herbert Hoover (who was also unlucky). And unlucky to have the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression occur on his watch.

Policy doesn't matter. Presidents don't matter. It's all luck.

Improvements in technology have been occurring for decades.....productivity enhancements always happened as a result....not just in Clinton's time.... The transistor was already in full production in 1958, and device density improved by 2x every 2 years....
