thank you!! I was going to post this info, but you beat me to it
It is amazing how some people rewrite history to slam BC
No, his administration was not the primary cause, but his missteps certainly did not help. His inexperience in dealing with Congress wasn't helpful. I hope that Obama does better, given the fact that he's about the same age as Clinton was when he ran. He's got legislative experience so hopefully he knows how to finesse Congress.
and the unwillingness of the Congress to work with Bill Clinton wasn't helpful at all either.
Many factors played a role. The ones you mention and also Bill's political missteps at the beginning of his term. Bill has many good attributes but he also has some very unhelpful ones.
