As you can see, Inflation was running rampant the last year of Obama at 1.26%
And if you want to see bringing inflation down at a record pace, look at Obams's 1st year, where the inflation rate is -0.36% (which I believe is called Deflation), lowering it by 4.19% from the previous year.
But Pendejo45 is correct, he lowered Inflation to 1.23%, only after he increased it to 2.44% in 2018.
