"Clinton was the beneficiary of a great economy"???? Really? There was a "building real estate crisis" when Bush came in???? Really?

Clinton was the beneficiary of a great economy while Bush inherited a recession and a building real estate crisis, had to deal with 9/11 which was a tremendous drain on resources as well as a major economic event, Katrina, and two wars and an intense level of new security measures in response to 9/11. Yet, Bush's deficits, while higher than Clinton's, didn't approach the Obama deficits. Wow. Just wow. You are desperately trying to rewrite history........and in the process have fallen to a new level of silliness. Bush was incompetent and his administration one of the worst in 100 years. EOS.

Clinton never face any significant difficulty that created a drain on the economy Yeah. We never had natural disasters before Bush. Nor terrorist attacks... The economy was nowhere near as bad as you are trying to play it when Bush took office. And it wasn't as great as you are pretending when Bubba was elected the first time. Neither were anywhere as bad as things were when Obama landed in the chair. There was no economic crash when Bush took office. The dot-com bubble did burst and a lot of companies were hurt, but at most it slowed economic growth a little. There was no contraction associated with it. Inflation adjusted GDP by Year The facts just don't bear your assertions out. Per usual I might add.
