This has nothing to do with Bush. These accounting practices took hold years before Bush was even thinking about running for the Presidency. The link to Clinton, IMHO, is that during his tenure, corruption, greed and lying were the ethics of the day. Yes, those 3 vices have always been around, but when the President of the US decides that it's okay to sell our safety for votes, nothing is sacred and anything goes.

I didn't meant that he had anything personally to do with it. However, there's no Clinton link here per se. This downturn will be laid at Bush's feet though politically since that's what always happens.
