There are two fatal flaws in your analysis:

1) The debt from each previous President is serviced by all subsequent ones. So a significant amount of Obama's debt is really attributed to the former Presidents. The same will be true for Trump and all who come afterwards.

2) On the jobs side you need to look at private vs public sector jobs. That becomes part of the deficit legacy of each President as well. See this link:

Obama was the standout on the latter (not necessarily through any fault of his own of course...)
