here is a cut and paste:
Reagan: Up 14.9 percentage points
George H.W. Bush: Up 7.1 percentage points
Clinton: Down 13.4 percentage points
George W. Bush: Up 5.6 percentage points
Obama: Up 21.9 percentage points (through December 2010 only)
So by this measurement -- potentially a more important one -- Obama is the undisputed debt king of the last five presidents
take note that we're now in nov. of 2011 so obama's number will now be even higher.

It's a distortion because quite a bit of the $4.5 Trillion that has been added to the debt since Obama has taken office is ongoing financial commitments made by the Bush Administration. Obama HAS added to the debt... but not nearly as much as Bush and the Republican controlled congress did from 2000 to 2006. We can go over the number as well if you like... but anything else you say about it will probably be nonsense as well.
