There was no recession on Clinton's watch. That happened 6 months after the majority of the country thought Bush Stole the Election. They started Protesting instead of Creating Wealth. Protestors even stopped Bush's Inauguration for a while. Bush said he would rule like he was given a mandate, even though he lost the popular vote & most believed he also lost Florida. Bush pushed hard for wealth transfer to the Rich, neglected his other duties & sent the country into recession.
In the last 50+ years Congress gave President's much more power than they used to have. Presidents can declare war, impose marshal law, control markets, trade & budget. They can do all this until Congress stops them. Ever here of the (PPT) "Plunge Protection Team"
Since you used the word Dude, I'll assume that you are pretty young. Perhaps too young to remember the dot com bust at the end of the Clinton administration. I would suggest that you take a little closer look at the GDP chart from Q2 to Q3 2000. Was GDP going up or down? I'll go ahead an answer for you...it dropped like a rock....to near 0. ) by the way does not mean things are going well! From Q4 2000 to Q1 2001 it actually went negative.....by the way, that technically started on Clintons watch! Now it may not fit the technical definition of a recession (2 consecutive quarters of negative growth but it does fit as a "U" shaped recession. Regardless, things were going downhill at the end of the Clinton administration and extreme poverty was on the rise.
By the way, you never did answer my question about what Republicans "specifically" did to cause recessions. I look forward to your enlightening answer!
This is a joke, and a FARCE. Bill Clinton was in office when the internet went public, that was a mere coincidence and had nothing to do with Clinton. He was just lucky
Do you think this is something most of these partisan cheerleaders can understand?
Clinton Created More Jobs than Reagan + Bush1 + Bush2 COMBINED! Plus you could almost add in all of Ford's jobs also. Democrat Presidents have always been the best Job Creators. President Bill Clinton was the Best in History!!! http://s9.postimg.org/y9cj3bowv/Jobs_President.jpg
Yup, and it's a shame his wife is a lying racketeering treasonous wench.
Few people are aware of Executive Order 12631 signed by Ronald Reagan!
There are just four people who control all of the U.S. markets through their use of dangerous and explosive DERIVATIVES. They are risking the assets and retirement funds of all Americans. Because of their manipulations, especially since 2001, U.S. financial markets are now based on the gambling whims of a special fraternity of Federal Government DERIVATIVE dealers.
This group is known among Wall Street as the Plunge Protection Team (PPT). Their "official" role was to prevent another "Black Monday". They have the entire U.S. Treasury at their disposal to manipulate the markets through DERIVATIVES (futures options). In other words, they are using the assets behind the U.S. Treasury to rig the prices of commodites (gold, currencies, etc.) and stocks.
This fraternity comprises of Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan, the Secretary of the Treasury, and the heads of the SEC and the Commodity Futures Trading Association. It works closely with all the U.S. exchanges and Wall Street banks.

Oh boy, links to a known anti-jewish conspiracy site.
It's true that Bill Clinton had a very good economic record as president. However, much of that was due to the fact that (1) the economy was already on the rebound when he became POTUS in January 1993 and (2) he was able to forge bi-partisan consensus from a Republican-controlled Congress (beginning in 1995). Hillary, on the other hand, promises to be a third Obama term, and had to run very far to the left in order to defeat a socialist for the Democratic Nomination. Therefore, don't expect a repeat of the 1990s once Hillary becomes president.
In the entire history of our country, there's never been a Republican president who hasn't caused a job killing recession or two while he served. In the last 55 years there have been 7 recessions. The 6 worst recessions were caused by Republicans. One minor one caused by Carter. Democrats have beaten Republicans hands down on job creation every time! Republicans cause 5 times more Recessions.
But, but, but,,, we must subsidize the rich, because repubtards believe they are job creators & they need super rich people to look up to, lead them & lie to them. LOL
The recession during Ronald Reagan's first term was caused by the Fed raising interest rates to combat inflation. When the recession had run its' course interest rates began to drop which set the stage for a long period of economic growth. With the exception of a mild recession during the first Bush's term the expansion continued throughout both of Clinton's terms. Clinton was the beneficiary of the Fed's monetary policy that started the expansion during Reagan's first term.

I fully expect that Hillary will engage republicans like Bill did because on most fiscal topics they have the same paymasters.
You're going to see TPP pass and pro-corporate legislation in exchange for some help with perhaps fixing the Obamacare-bomb she's going to inherit.
Obama's biggest mistake was running in with a *mandate* or so he thought and burning any bridges that could have been made. I've said before that Hillary should have won in 2008 so Obama could have had 8 years to learn.....but nooooooo that didn't matter lol because (and lets be honest) Obama beat Hillary in 2008 solely based on pigmentation. (Ironic that Hillary supporters were called racist eh?)
