Clinton started at the end of a recession. Things were far better when Reagan left office than when he inherited Carter's mess. Interest rates were down, the economy was growing, and the military had been build back up from the low point Carter had left it.
Clinton was very much like Obama but, without the massive majorities in both houses. He pushed through very little of his agenda(see health care) and did nothing at all to enhance the economy. The Republican's infamous "Parnership with America" which basically demanded balanced budgets ham-strung Clinton. If it wasn't for politicians on both side of the isle becoming addicted to pork barrel spending America would be a lot richer today.
What do you think Clinton did that improved the economy?
