"Bill Clinton left office with an economy near full-employment, budget surpluses..."

None of which was of his doing. Clinton was only in the right place at the right time. Other than that he is nothing more than a male slut.

While all of the economic gain can not be attributed to Clinton. He certainly can accept part of the credit. He passed a tough economic package that dramatically reduced the deficit by cutting spending and increasing taxes. It was not popular but it worked. This package also allowed Greenspan to maintain lower interest rates He also pushed through the NAFTA and GATT agreements. Organized labor did not like these but they helped create a stronger economy.

The obvious point is that no other president, Democrat or Republican, ever achieved anything close to Clinton's economic success.
