Yep, one of the few things he got right, but he understood that one perfectly. It's true of good news too, of course - Clinton is remembered as a positive economic President because he had the good fortune to be elected when the internet boom was taking off, and re-elected while it was still climbing. Pure serendipity, of course, but it all redounded to his credit with the public. If he had not had an opposition-controlled Congress for the last six of his eight years in office, his own party platform would have led to ruinous social spending, entitlement increases, and new environmental laws which would have us much deeper in the hole now than we are already.
But, it's just human nature that "THE Leader" gets all the credit or blame, rather than a faceless collective of 535 people, who aren't even a single body but divided into two.
