Yeah...ask yourself why you are showing the average. You assume the economy tanked in 2009 because of Obama's actions. You're too smart to believe that so I can only assume you are feigning ignorance.
You must consider John F. Kennedy to best economic POTUS ever (nearly 7% GDP growth in '61) and Clinton better than Reagan. That's what your chart says, right? In reality, I'm sure you'd agree that Reagan helped the US recover from Carter's mess thus shouldn't suffer from 1981 and 1982 less than ideal GDP growth numbers in a non-political analysis.
