To point to the stock market bubble as a "success" of Clinton would be as stupid as point to the real estate bubble as a "success" of Alan Greenspan.
to say nothing of clinton's invention of the sub-prime loan.
the reason ex-presidents don't critique sitting presidents (carter and clinton excepted) is that they realize that the sitting president is at the mercy of conditions and policies that went before. in effect, the president is relatively powerless in the grand skeme of things. but then, they always tout their credits to the voters so if they get unreasonable blames----serves them right.
listening to all the political diatribe and soapboxing this past political season left me bereft of much enthusiasm regarding the "wisdom" of the voter.
all things multiply to the point of starvation. (--Budge--)
