Repug, the main reason the economy was flourishing under Clinton is because he put in a whole bunch of policies that were destined to have a deadly response in the future, but make the current situation better (like FDR). The lending crash occurred because Clinton wanted every person to be able to own a home and forced banks to make risky lending to unqualified home owning prospects who never had a shot at success. A true president's legacy can't be defined in the present day, but must be observed when his policies have their consequences (good and bad) play out in the future. This is one aspect that liberals will never admit and just want to blame Bush for everything. Shit was prime to hit the fan because of Clinton's policies and Bush had to deal with 9/11 for years, instead of clean up Clinton's policy problems. Luckily our current congress is stopping much of Obama's horrific policies before they even start. We've seen what Obama can do (nothing to fix the economy) and luckily people are still voting against politicians who don't perform in office. Part of me is happy Obama was elected, because it woke up millions of dormant Americans and boosted liberty-minded folks into action. That part of me never expected a second term out of Obama, which would lead to a very, very destructive economic future for this country. For the record, Romney is just as bad, but in other ways.
