That's the perfect analogy. The good old Clinton days were the result of a bubble economy, and the recession is nothing more than a very painful correction. As convenient as it is to blame it all on Bush it's just dosn't hold up to any sort of real scrutiny - although Bush's ownership society initiatives didn't help, but that was really just a continuation of what started way back when with the Community Reinvestment Act. It's just a pitiful nostalgia trip, more worthy of VH1 than a serious political party.
It's pretty rich to watch the Democrats spend decades blaming the inability of poor minorities to get loans they can't ever afford to pay back on racism, and then when they force the banks to make those loans and the whole thing blows up in everyone's face, they rail on the banks' "predatory lending" policies. Because debt slavery is bad, you know, unless it's done at the national level.
