That chart isn’t exactly an indictment of Obama, considering that a lot of the job loss occurred under George W. Bush, and, moreover, seems to indicate that the nature of recessions is changing for the worse as far as the job market goes, as we’ve seen the 4th, 3rd, second, and most-bad job recoveries in the 4th-most, 3rd-most, second-to-most, most-recent recessions, respectively (and, all of them starting under Republican Presidents, alas).
