True, but Clinton also inherited the tech-boom (is what a Republican might say).

He did inherit a tech boom. If companies in the US are doing well, the economy is doing well. The american people are investing the country, as well as other countries are investing. Clinton just had to sit back and smile.
Bush inherited the tech bust, 9/11 attack on americans the financial heart of the US and the World. He did what he had to in order to keep the US from going into a depression. Giving tax cuts so Americans had more money, so they could invest in the country. [/b][/quote]
That's a pretty hard sell, giving everyone else the credit for Clinton's successes. The Republicans have been at the helm for 16 of the last 24 years but the best economic times were during the 8 years under Clinton. Yet here you are giving credit for Clinton's success to George I and blaming the failures of George II on Clinton.
Kinda unrealistic, don't you think?
Edit: oh yeah, real question... did Clinton inherit the tech-boom? That whole internet thing took off long after '91.
