A president has little control over job creation and what type of jobs are created unless we're talking about new government jobs. These are decisions that are made collectively by millions of businesses large and small based on supply and demand. If more part-time jobs are being creating, this is a trend in the economy that has been at work for decades, not something you can pin on any single individual. People just want someone to point and blame for their problems, and the president is always an obvious choice, but it's just not that simple.
Depends on many things.
But Obama has taken this on himself. His biggest mistake and his biggest connection to job loss/destruction of the middle class is signing the ACA or aka Obamacare.
The Fed released a survey in which 20% of private companies have either let people go, stopped hiring, or changed full time employees into part time employees due to Obamacare alone. That is a HUGE impact by the president on jobs.
