To set the context, this episode came out in April, 2010.
After a throw-out-the-Dems mid-term election on Tuesday, with Republican promises to unwind Democratic legislation like healthcare reform and an economy that refuses to break into anything more than a cautious jog, we use the Freakonomics Radio podcast to pose a tough question: How much does the President of the United States really matter?
"It seems that the public thinks that the president matters a lot more than our academic research would suggest." - Caltech economist & political scientist Erik Snowberg
