Clinton was not a bad president but we need to get past the idea that he was an economic genius. He was the luckiest president I can think of. He had the benefit of a booming economy due to the internet boom and he had a conservative republican congress that forced him to be more fiscally conservative. The bursting of the tech bubble did not happen until he left office. The terrorist problem he basically ignored or made ineffective responses to and that also did not blow up until after he was out of office.
Bush had plenty of flaws but he inherited the tech bubble bursting and 9-11. He had bigger challenges than Clinton did. His downfall was a worthless republican congress that did not force him to be fiscally conservative and ineffective efforts to prevent the mortgage bubble and subsequent meltdown.
