Well, that's definitely not true, or perhaps at best, damning with faint praise.

You can lay the financial world meltdown in 2008 directly at Clinton's feet.

He removed several regulation checks on the banking world that had they been in place,
would not have allowed the mortgage mess and overleveraging of investment banks.

He was a bit of a breath of fresh air after 12 years of Reagan/Bush, but he was perhaps
only slightly left of center.
