Exactly. Boom and bust cycles (bubbles) are what effect the economy. During Clintons administration, he benefited from the technology bubble/boom not because he was a great president. That market collapsed as Bush was coming into office so the blame was never placed on Clinton.

Thank you, im glad other people recognize this.But who is ever in the office at the time when good things happen they get credit and if bad things happen they get blame i guess its easier for people to think that way instead of actually putting thought into something.
