As a complete aside, is it just me or it was during democratic terms that the biggest financial follies where done:
Volker opened the way for Reagan by causing a big recession for Carter. Interestingly the biggest structural changes in the US were not done by Reagan/Bushes but by the repeal of Glass-Steagal and financial liberalization and that was during Clinton.

Obama actually seems the best of them (the only structural change that I can see is Obamacare and that one seems a good one, for a change). Though his administration is trying to force a complete TTIP, so let me shut up.
