Because President Obama was in office for only three years at the
time of the writing, Deitrick and his co-author left him out. But
Deitrick now has enough of an Obama track record to have recently
declared in a Forbes interview, "By all measures, President Obama has
outperformed every modern president."
His findings were so lopsided in favor of Democrats I had to ask him
whether he is one. He said no. "I really was apolitical until 2000,"
start of the George W. Bush era. That's when he saw massive
mismanagement of the economy at the expense of his middle- to
upper-middle-class clients.
"The average retail investor got slammed, where hedge funds were allowed to take advantage of everyone else," he told me.
The best overall economic performance pre-Obama was that of John F.
Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson (whom Deitrick put together because of
Kennedy's early death). No. 2 was Bill Clinton, with Franklin D.
Roosevelt in third place.
