False.False.
The actual figures (not accounting for your fuzzy rounding) has Bush leaving the debt at $10.6t and it's projected to be at around $19.8t when Obama leaves office. That's an increase of 87%, i.e., less than all presidents before him combined. If you want to see what it looks like when a president runs up the debt more than all other previous presidents combined, look no further than Ronald Reagan, who drove up the debt 186%.
Bull shit.
The numbers come from:
Historical debt figures:
Debt to the Penny (Daily History Search Application)
Projected debt figures:

Your posted numbers are no where near what is posted on .gov Or is it that you don't know how to subtract two numbers. As in before and after?
