You're going out of date. It'll be Chinese iPhones you'll be buying not just the cover. Chinese innovations are coming up really strong and it'll only get stronger.
My phone is samsung btw lol, but still not chinese. Even HTC aren't chinese. For now the only impressive thing from China is that holographic phone they made, but it hardly has 0.1% market worldwide.

Components manufactured in China most likely as well as assembled there.
The big Chinese smartphone makers/brands are Huawei, BBK (who owns Oppo and Vivo), Lenovo (who bought Motorola), and Xiaomi and they own much, much more than 0.1% of the market worldwide. I believe Chinese smartphone brands are pretty close to being a full majority of the yearly annual sales total of smartphones at this point if it hasn't already.
Life in the US made them feel held down. Do you really think they didn't feel held down already? I don't find that believable. So, in your vision, everyone in ghettoland was happy until Obama came along, and told them they weren't? That's would be laughable, if it weren't so pathetic. What does this have to do with the global GDP topic, anyway?
A person in Obama's position can be encouraging or he can be discouraging. He chose the latter because it gets more votes. People don't like being told to pick themselves up by their bootstraps. They will choose the gravy train each and every time when given a choice.
The use of those programs expanded under Obama because that moron Dubya crashed the economy. My net worth dropped 40%. The stock market cratered. Real estate took a huge hit. After 8 years of Obama, I'm way ahead of where I was when Dubya whimpered away.
I don't buy the poorly educated angry white man arguments. The fundamental economic problems in the United States are structural. They're caused by global competition and automation. Unskilled and semi-skilled labor in the United States has little value. If you're not part of that top-10% to 20% that is capable of intellectual, high skilled labor, you're going backwards. Trump, Mitch McConnell, and Paul Ryan aren't going to change that. Bernie's preaching and Elizabeth Warren's strident harangue aren't going to change that. If your job can move to Wuhan where they pay $2.00/hour, it's gone. If your job can be automated where the cost of capital is less than they're paying you, it's gone.
Look into how Bill Clinton used the Community Reinvestment Act to force banks to make risky loans if you want to find the root of the crisis that you're blaming on Bush. Then exacerbate the changes made to CRA by the passing Gramm-Leech-Bliley and it all becomes very clear. I was no fan of GWB, but he had a minimal hand in the 2008 collapse.
For those fortunate enough to own equities, things were good under Obama. This was mostly because of the Fed's free money policy. The stock market expansion went hand in hand with QE until there was so much liquidity in the economy that it had no to choice but to expand. The reality is that the economy grew anemically the entire time. For Joe Timeclock, the Obama years were pure pain.
When African Americans succeed, the alt-right crew are the first to scream "Affirmative Action, Affirmative Action!"
