Reuters – Barack Obama often gets slammed for his stewardship of the U.S. economy, but for stock investors, hes been one of the best presidents since World War Two.At 1,400, the S&P 500 on Friday was closing in on a four-year high and was up 74 percent since January 20, 2009, the day Obama took office. Not since Dwight Eisenhowers first term has a president had such a strong run for their first term.That rally might be just enough to get Obama re-elected, making him the first sitting president in the post-war era to win a second term with a jobless rate higher than 7.2 percent.
