1% of great is way better than 2% of terrible. Normally there is a limit to growth rate. Generally, if the economy grows organically, the rate is much higher in a good recovery, since it's so slow or bad to begin with, and the growth rate tends to slow down over time since the growth will be over already high levels of domestic product. It was expected that GDP rate would slow down for that reason, among others.
The critical factor is not necessarily, nor merely, the rate of growth, but the strength and productivity at any given time in terms of how well off the public is. That's way better now than it was under Obama's policies.
