It has nothing to do with Obama at all.

It is just interesting that a US president in relative peacetime hit such a gaudy number after being impeached.

Excluding the post-election homeymoon period (where everyone get's 70s for a little while), That's the highest peacetime reading in most people's lifetimes. So it's interesting.
