Oh b.s.
The economy prospered under Clinton not because of Clinton but because of the internet boom. how the hell did Clinton have anything to do with that other than Gore's claim of inventing it?
Bush didn't inherit a thriving economy, he inherited a bubble that had just burst and was on it's way to the cellar, add in 9/11 and the war on terror and you've got a mess on your hands.
I would have loved to have seen Slick Willy or Obama deal with those things as a comparison. Without a doubt, Bush didn't handle it optimally, but neither Clinton nor Obama, nor probably anyone else for that matter, had the experience to thwart the mess we're in now.
The honeymoon is over, Obama had better stop trying to spend our way out of this and get some better advice on how to fix the economy, or we're all in for an even bigger mess.
