I was referring more to the boom in 2000 when we thought the stock market could do no wrong, and we were all stupid for putting our savings into things like money market accounts when the Dow was outperforming everything in sight.

Both the Dow and the S&P 500 posted negative returns in 2000. (And, FWIW, Bush didn't take office until 2001.)
