The recession ended one year before the election. The economy was actually going really well, our phones had been ringing off the hook for months.

Clinton invented the line, "the worst economy in fifty years" as the boom proceeded.

That summer, most people told pollsters that their economic situation was better than ever. But they were worried about their neighbors (non-existent people).

It was the first big lie the Clinton's made up. GHWB did not have the strength, or the desire to put the lie where it belonged. He was wishy-washy, looked wishy-washy, and lost.

The Clinton slime machine was born

I was a young manager during that time. With the closing of Pease AFB our business dropped 30% in about six months.

Not good times for us.

And Frontline PBS (a so-called news program) did a more recent special on the Clinton Presidency and election in which in the segment where he was inaugurated they stated “and the economic recession showed no signs of abating” - a recession that had in fact been long over. The economic boom credited to Clinton was a continuation of the Reagan-Bush boom that was interrupted briefly by a mild recession and started long before Clinton ever took office. It was all one big lie. So infuriating!
