I mention Clinton's neo liberal policies towards banking legislation that helped bring about sub prime mortgage crisis.

I had taken events into account, though I forgot about 911 & the dotcom bubble upon Bush's arrival, but both Presidents did have 8 years to turn things around, in which it looks like Obama may have.

GDP growth for the last quarter grew at 3.9%, good news for Biden...if he decides to run.
