Yeah, I misread that.

I think there’s enough similar quarters plus isn’t Obama’s missing quarter (the 1st) generally a pretty weak quarter?
Q1 is usually a weaker quarter, and yeah, there are enough quarters to do a comparison. The article in the OP was doing what is typically done with comparisons which is full year comparisons and what not. But again, all of it is pointless. The president's role in economic successes or failures is like people using USAID spending as a scapegoat for the rising debt in the country.
