Would you rather have the Bush Sr. "recession" or the Obama "not recession" of the last 4 years? That "recession" was over about as soon as it started -- after a decade of rocket-ship growth, a correction is perfectly normal, then it was back to strong growth. Believe we're still waiting for anything resembling strong growth years after the end of the "recession" that greeted Obama.
So either Clinton benefitted from a fundamentally strong economy, or Obama can't do whatever Clinton did to recover from the recession. Your choice.
I don't think unemployment doubled in an 18 month period during any of those previous recessions.
