Why didn't Clinton stop collapse?

A recent Fence Post letter complained of spending by former Presidents Reagan and both H.W. and W. Bush. The letter also praised the financial skills of former President Clinton.

There are a couple of things that were ignored: 1. President Obama has spent more than all, yes all, previous presidents combined. 2. The stock market began its decline in January 2000 on President Clinton's watch. If he was such a financial genius, why didn't he prevent the collapse? I'm pretty sure just about everyone can figure out the answer to that.
