Want a Better Economy? History Says Vote Democrat! - Forbes

Since this chart says that Clinton comes in second for a good US econonmy, shouldn't he blame Bush for what he inherited?

And this is why investors and small business owners are salivating over a Romney election. He's a moderate, probably a RINO, but he's also pro-business and anti-regulation. Everything this economy needs to wake up.

Actually, he inherited much of Reagan's legacy. Bush Sr. He was barely decent. Clinton would have been a complete failure had they not "invented" the internet. In fact, WE are still paying for his backroom deal with bankers (repeal of Glass-Steagall) which, against Democrat logic, did open up the banks to abuse and defrauding investors and clients; the toxic asset fiasco being a testament to this fact.

Actually, it is Clinton's second term that is credited for that effect. Economy in the first term was recovering from Bush term by the time he took office and growing, but it really took off in the second term.

Now, you could make the argument you wanted to make for Reagan, perhaps?
