"Overall inflation during Obama’s time in office has been less than half the historical average.
The average yearly rise in the Consumer Price Index under Obama has been just 1.7 percent, measured from December to December. That’s well under half the post-World War II average, according to BLS figures. From 1946 to 2008, the average December-to-December rise in the CPI was a bit more than 4 percent.
And inflation has slowed as the economy has warmed up. In the most recent 12 months on record, ending in May, the CPI rose less than 1.1 percent.
For the first seven years and four months of Obama’s time in office, the CPI has gone up by only 13 percent. In the eight years of the Bush administration, the CPI went up 20.7 percent." - Factcheck.org/micdrop

If one doesn't believe it, just look at how little Social Security payments have decreased over the last 8 years. Those payment increases are essentially based on inflation.

Yeah and if you don't include food and fuel in your inflation calculations, that CPI adjustment goes way down. Good luck to anyone trying to scrape by on social security alone these days. Health care alone will erode one third of that check.
