Remember the phrase "It's the economy, stupid!"? So where's the
screw-up? At the end of eight years of the previous administration
the American economy was booming and there was a large and rapidly
growing budget *surplus* for the first time in forty years.
And despite his well known personal failings, had Bill Clinton been
eligible to run again, he would most likely have been elected to
a third term. He left office with the highest approval ratings, over
65% of the American people thought he was doing an excellent job as
President even though they strongly disapproved of his personal
and unseemly behavior.
