If Bill Clinton was so f-brilliant, why isn’t the press endorsing Bill’s policies to turn the economy around?

Because Bill used elements of the Contract with America in his domestic agenda. Whatever we think about Bill as a person he was a very shrewd and pragmatic politician when it suited him during his presidency. He knew the political winds were blowing away from the far left agenda he promoted in the first two years of his administration, and when Newt and the boys showed up in 1995 he adapted some of their agenda, such as welfare reform, and reaped the political benefits a year later when he smashed Bob Dole for reelection in 96.
