In 1936 the unemployment rate was lower than when FDR took office. It went up again in 1940. Obama will almost certainly have an unemployment rate higher than when he took office.

When FDR took office in January 1933 was 25.2% and in 1936 it was 16.9%. FDR could say his policies were working. Obama can't say that.
