(7,323 posts)1. Wow, that was a slanted article!
The poor performance of the GOP was never blamed on their presidents. The success of Clinton and Obama was never credited to them.

the blow job given to Donnie Dum Dum at the end.

(7,323 posts)4. This bothered me
During Clintons eight years in the White House. Inflation remained stable. Unemployment dipped below 4%. And the United States enjoyed the longest period of uninterrupted economic growth in modern history.

Absolutely NO mention of Clinton's economic package was mentioned. Neither was the fact that not a single republican voted for it. Nor was the fact that they all said it would destroy the economy.
_
The era was punctuated by the dotcom boom, which amounted to the creation of an entirely new industry. The Nasdaq spiked sevenfold between 1993 and its peak in early 2000. The mania created vast amounts of wealth much of which would disappear as the bubble inevitably popped.
Bush inherited the dotcom bust, which spawned the 2001 recession.

Who said it was inevitable? If he means it was inevitable because the GOP was now in charge, then I can agree. But he didn't say that. Instead he seemed to imply that Clinton handed him a recession instead of a booming economy.

(53,856 posts)3. The chart tells the story. Clinton and Obama outshown all the repugs dramatically...
And Obama did it starting out in the dumps W Bush created. trump is second to last and he brags incessantly about how great his economy is.
Dems should plaster these chart figures all over everywhere.
