I didn't leave anything out. I showed you a picture because when I type and link actual references, you either try and change the argument or make statements that the references are garbage. The picture illustrates that the price of gas was not, in fact, lower under Obama.
And trying to play off the "not too hot, not too cold" economy of the Obama years as a good thing is silly. Remember when Obama was selling year over year 2% GDP growth as a good thing and "the new normal"? Ridiculous, in part because GDP growth for 8 years under Obama was 1.64% a year, so he was rounding up to the "good" number of 2.
The Troubled Asset Relief Program was approved by Congress in October of 2008, while Bush was still in office. Multiple rounds of QE (which was really printing money to cover debts) was a FED program. Contrary to what a lot of people think, the FED is not a government agency or part of the government, its a group of independent banks that have a board of directors who are theoretically accountable to Congress. I say theoretically, because virtually nobody in Congress actually understands what the FED does and so they all typically side with the FED regardless of what the FED does or says.
Because of this theoretical accountability, the FED calls itself an "independent government agency" but that's at least disingenuous because they don't operate under the rules and regulations required of any other government agency. They are self-funded through interest on acquisitions, so it becomes difficult, and almost impossible for the government to hold them accountable. Do something out of line, and the government might go after one or two board members, but the banks continue to do what they want.
All of that is to say, I'm not really arguing with anything you said here, other than the idea that Obama (or any President) has a lot of influence on the economy and is therefore responsible. They play a part, and in that respect, your dream about the Obama years being some kind of economic era we should long for is misguided. But people are fickle, and when the economy is bad, they blame the easiest person to blame. Let's go, Brandon!
