“We are not presuming that when Obama got elected, someone who hadn’t had algebra will suddenly pass algebra,” he said. “If people have the ability, it will let them achieve that ability.”
Friedman said he did not plan a follow up but would consider studying Obama’s effect on small children.
“We have captured the critical time, which was the transition before and after Obama, which of course can never be done again,” he said. “But I think there are going to be a lot of studies as to what impact Obama could have and what families can do. Maybe it’s that before your kid goes out to take the SAT you could give him a book on Obama.”
