Actually the Chinese did it, maybe Clinton can be blamed indirectly because he stopped eating dumplings.
I'm sure someone will come up with something.... I empathize with Bill... so many dumplings.... so little time....
BPB, Blaming Clinton for the drop in the stock market by conservatives memorized his name, and blame him for everything Bush has done during the past six years. It's called a "scapegoating." The conservatives learned about him, because of his connection to Monica. Otherwise, Clinton was a worse president than GWBush. Look at all the good GWBush has accomplished during the past six years. A unnecessary war that's costing over two soldiers every day of this war plus two billion every week, six million more Americans without health insurance, loss of most of our allies, and more middle class and the poor falling into deep poverty.
Quite an accomplishment for one man - some 60 percent of conservatives still support him and his performance as our president.
Clinton screwed up everything over six years ago, because he lied to the grand jury about sex. GWBush lied about war, and he gets a pass, because sex is more serious than war.
What a country!

Where did you see Clinton mentioned in this article? I didn't see his name. Now your just making stuff up.
Clinton had nothing to do with the stock market crash. Internet stocks were going haywire by overzealous investors. Stocks were selling for 3,000% over a companies earnings. The market crash was caused by simple greed. And it recovered pretty quickly.

Which time? After 9/11 or when all those companies got caught cooking their books? It took about 4 years for the markets to recover and get back to where they were before the dot com crash. I wouldn't call that a quick recovery.
This is not my line of work. Let me know when you all resolve it...

You didn't see you and your buddies names either ... but you were the subject of the post none the less...
Geesh, Bear. Did you read this part?
Quote:"This is a market that's trying to find the bottom," said Art Hogan, chief market analyst at Jefferies & Co. "Until we get global stability, we're going to be hard-pressed to find confidence in domestic markets. Investors will be watching global markets closely next week."
He said that U.S. declines were based on broad-based concern, rather than worries about a specific sector of the economy.
"You have all three broad market indices down similar percentages," he added. "This isn't a sector call; this is a broader market call."
Think of the stock market as a brothel. Then re-read with emphasis on the bolded parts.
Now do you understand? Monica was one of the broads.
When Monica travels outside of the country she's a broad broad abroad.
