Definitely see where you're coming from. I mean, the stock market was great, only minor terrorist attacks, no major wars... However. Bush definitely had his handsful as soon as he entered office. 8 months in he had the worst terrorist attack in the US's history. He inherited a recession. I think Clinton gets off the hook for a lot more than he should. Just because things appeared fine at the time doesn't necessarily mean that they were. Letting Bin Laden go being a prime example.
