Also, way to specify the bill you're talking about.
If you're talking about the repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act then yes, it did contribute highly to the economic crisis.
But you have to remember, this bill was sponsored by Republicans (in both the House and the Senate), and that the civil servants who backed it would more than likely be in John McCain's cabinet (if he gets elected).
Regardless, a majority of Congress voted to pass this bill, so you can't put it all on the shoulders of Bill Clinton to begin with.
My initial point: there are way too many people in action to put something solely on the President alone.
I was more trying to bring up the idea that this isn't solely on George Bush's shoulders. Many people, including, Clinton are responsible. I just hate it when uninformed Bush haters come on here and rave about how good Clinton was. Don't get me wrong, Bush sucks, and is to blame for a LOT of things, but this economy crisis is beyond him.

Why thank you, and sorry, I didn't mean to be so condescending.
