It really is a stroke because the gdp did hit four times during the Obama Administration. The highest was 5. 1 percent. But as you say, it was something. Mike growth like this is something obsolete should be celebrated. With the white house and i think others have been saying is that the numbers during the Obama Administration may have been high but it was largely because there was a recovery phase. When the president began with the economy already, pretty decent shape and really revving it up with the agenda of deregulation and all of that.
