Politicians are given too much credit or blame for the economy--and the public gets the facts wrong because of the "spin" of the politicians and media--it was Robert Rubin and Clinton (a Democrat) that lessened the rules on Derivitives and let Wall Street run wild in the 90's and on and also lessened trade restrictions globally---and Bernanke under Obama now who is saving the economy was a Bush appointee in 2006--and it was Bush that launched the first Bailout. I know folks like to play politics on things---but the reality is its not so clear cut---heres a link on the first bailout---it wasnt Obama that set the ball rolling...bottom line...it doesnt really matter on Fed money policy who is President EXCEPT they have the power to appoint who controls the money supply
