Obama Administration - why not Obama's?

As in the topic - why do we say Obama Administration instead of Obama's?

Thanks in advance.

You can say either 'Obama's administration' or 'the Obama administration', but the latter is common because we tend to name the presidential terms and other similar time periods: The Meiji Restoration, the Kennedy years, the Hitler regime.
