*National Debt has increased more under Obama in three years that the entire Bush 8 year Presidency 
 
*The Debt rose  $4.899 trillion during the two terms of the Bush presidency. It has now gone up $4.939 trillion since President Obama took office.

 Yes, Rude - but Obama didn't
 cause that debt, nor incur that debt - it's just the ongoing interest and debt from previous years.  It would be that high if McCain were president.
Do you not understand that?
Again - 
Obama has not raised the national debt by starting programs that added $5 trillion to our national debt.   If that were true, you would be able to show which programs those were.  Can you?
Here:  this is deficit spending that contributes to our debt.  
Obama's policies through 2017 only cost $1.44 trillion - and a lot of that is paid for, not debt.
