What was it about Bill Clinton that caused the prosperity of the 1990's? I keep hearing everyone claim that Obama could make this country prosperous like the Clinton times, but I want to understand was Clinton the reason why the American economy was doing well in the 90's?

This is my hypothesis:

Clinton was more of a moderate than a liberal and did not enact radical legislation. The 90's were also a time when the internet-boom appeared and the computer revolution took off. Clinton did not have a major war like Iraq to deal with. Perhaps the natural "boom-and-bust" cycle was in its boom stage during Clinton's presidency and then entered its bust under Bush?

I was only a kid in the 90's, but I do remember that life felt much better.
