“For some reason, the media or whatever, created an image--and some of the speeches on this floor nurtured that image--that President Bush created this economic slowdown that occurred. But as I remember, and I ask the Senator is it not correct, the third quarter of President Clinton's last year in office was negative growth, and the first quarter--and the President didn't take office until mid-January when he got sworn in--the first quarter of the year he inherited was negative growth. Then we had the September 11 attack. So a number of things that came together were not his fault. Is that fair to say?”
