Clinton didn't ever end a recession, clo. Good thing he didn't need to - because he wouldn't have known how. He inherited an economy just emerged from recession, and left an economy just going into recession.

Reagan inherited (from Carter) a nasty economy and created a huge one. Bush 1 inherited a strong economy, let it slip into recession, but took the correct steps to build the gigantic economy Clinton was able enjoy and eventually ruin. GWB took that mess, managed to pull us out of it for a time but couldn't hang on.

Obama, of course, took a bad situation and made it worse.

The bottom line? Democrats have not had any answers for large recessions in a long, LONG time. I'm not sure, but you might have to go back to the Great Depression - when FDR managed to keep the depression going for almost 16 years.
