The claim that no U.S. President prior to Obama 'presided' over an economy in which the GDP dipped below 3.0 is utter horseshit. If one compares annual real GDP growth, there are several examples of exactly that happening prior to Obama's administration. Yes, the economy's recovery was sluggish under Obama, but so were the economies of most highly developed countries following the crash in '08. I doubt it can all be laid at Obama's feet.
Perhaps there's something going on at the macro- level that all of this U.S. political shit-throwing doesn't get at.
