Sorry, that's one of those 'truthiness' opinions that you hold that is not supported by the facts.
I remain open to learning otherwise. Perhaps you can find a different chart?

Full-time job growth over the course of the Obama presidency has far outstripped part-time job growth , as FiveThirtyEight's Ben Casselman has pointed out.

Part-time jobs ticked up in November, but overall, employment growth in recovery has been almost all full-time.
Of course, some of those people working part time want to be working part time, and some don't . Another bright spot here is that the share of those workers who are involuntarily part time has fallen off.
However, that figure is still a fair bit higher than it was prior to the recession (and that level was itself, in turn, higher than it was before the prior recession). That's one place where there could still be some improvement — there are still about 1 million more of those involuntary part-time workers than there were prior to the recession.
And of course those facts make this chart hold up well too:
