Yes, to some extent. Moreover, I blame Americans who refuse to be realistic and understand they can't have everything they want whenever they want it without having to pay for it.
I think that belief is why you and I agree so often on specifics, but in the comparison of Clinton's culpability for the dotcom bubble and Bush's responsibility for near economic Armageddon there are huge differences.
Bush's stated belief in "deficits don't matter" and supply side economics coupled with tax cuts for the richest while borrowing from the future of the poor is quite different than simply presiding over the Oval Office while speculators run up a market on the hope and prayer of getting rich quick.
