President Obama is/was a good president (economics)

Thank you Con for the debate. Remeber we are looking at the U.S economy and not the factors or global macro economicsBefore we look at the economic success of President Obama we have to look at the failure he inherited from Bush As we can see President Bush took a 200 billion surplus from President Clinton and turned it into a MASSIVE deficit. Unemployment under Bush took a similar story with the spiking of unemployement to almost 8 percent.Now that weve understood the terrible economic desicions of President Bush lets look at the economic descions President Obama has made1. The Deficit A common republican arguement is that obama is a big spender however this is the opposite from the truth. As we can see Bush spiked the deficit with the Iraq war costing americans billions. However thanks to Obama's economic leadership we saw a steady decrease in the deficit which decreased almost every year.2. Unemployment This graph shows from the time period of Feb 09 to Feb 13. Now Barrack Obama has almost led us down to a 4.5 unemployment rate as of January 2016 (1). Thanks Obama.3. Job Creation/Growth Job growth under Obama has been incredible. Not a single study shows that Obama has been negative in his job growth since the 2009. He had some negative growth before 2009 because he was still cleaning up the mess of Bush. President Barrack Obama has created over 15 million jobs since his time as president (2)4. Oil Production Oil Production is a really clear indicator of america's economy. It makes up for a large amount of America's exports. As we can see President Bush is declining sharply when it comes to oil production however when president Obama takes over we take a great lead in our oil production.Rebuttals:The DeficitMy opponent fails to understand that the deficit percentage was cut significantly under Obama. My opponent fails to understand how the deficit works. While the deficit per GDP increased the defict percent per GDP has been cut big time.(3). If a republican was in office then the deficit and the deficit percentage would increase enourmously. This will also apply to the debt.UnemploymentThe unemployment rate is still the lowest in 5 years. The 10 percent unemplyoment rate of the Bush years were far worse than the years under obama. Not only this but Obama has created over 15 million jobs for americans disproving your point that somehow americans arent working (2).Job CreationAgain Obama has created 15 MILLION jobs. Not 1.4 million. All of those jobs cannot somehow be waitressing jobs. Not only that but more jobs, regardless of what they are, contribute to the economyOil ProductionMy opponent explains that Obama is merely enjoying the fruits of someone elses labor. However Con cannot explain the downward spiral of oil under Bush and how immediatley when Obama took office oil production increase. My opponent also mislead the voters by saying Obama is riding off fracking. Hydraulic fracking was invented in 1947 (4).National Debt Again my opponent fails to understand the big picture. When Bush was in office the debt increase and the debt percent per GDP also increased. However under obama while the debt did increase the debt percent flattened. If a republican was in office then both wouldve increased tremendously (5).Back to you Con!If you have any trouble reading a graph feel free to visit my pictures to see them in more detail (http://www.debate.org......)
