and how much was that he was just lucky to be president then.

Clinton inherited a growing economy, the tech boom, and the end of the Cold War. Y2K which came later was a 300 billion dollar stimulus that his policies had nothing to do with.

When he left office, the tech bubble had already burst, and unchecked followers of Bin Laden were ready to strike.

Dilbert nailed it exactly.
Y2k caused a lot of computer software to be written, and a lot of computer hardware to be sold.

Three months into the year 2000, the momentum of that boom evaporated (like Wiley Coyote having run off the cliff and realizing he’s going down) and the market, especially Nasdaq crashed.

Before Bubba was elected, Ronald Reagan had boosted the economy. Bill Clinton just rode it hard and put it away wet.
