http://www.businessinsider.com/national-debt-deficit-added-under-president-barack-obama-2017-1

Based on quarterly data released by the US Treasury, the debt at the end of 2008 — just before Obama took office — stood at roughly $10,699,805,000,000.

As of the third quarter of 2016, the most recent data available, the debt as Obama is set to leave office stood at $19,573,445,000,000.

Based on the website USdebtclock.com, which extrapolates the US national debt in real time based on committed government spending, the debt will be roughly $19.97 trillion when President-elect Donald Trump takes office.

Thus, the national debt under Obama will have grown by about $9 trillion, or an increase of 86%.

Some of this debt is attributable to bills passed by Obama's predecessor, George W. Bush. Both Bush and Obama rolled out large investment bills to help the US recover from the depths of the financial crisis.

A majority of economists agree that debt-financed government spending during the depths of a recession is a good way to help mitigate the impact of the crisis and help return the country to economic growth. In addition, the debt may not be a scary as some think, since the US is still in good credit standing and prints the reserve currency of the world.

Additionally, as the Obama administration often notes, the annual deficit has decreased each year of the Obama presidency.

With those facts in mind, the size of the debt increase is quite staggering.

still waiting for an answer instead of your cut and paste craft time.

Oh how the Left Wing Progressive Main Stream Media tells lies ...... and uses these two pictures to "prove" Obama had more people attend his inauguration, than attended Trumps'

Turns out these pictures were taken at different times of the day ........... one much earlier in the morning, and the other right at the crowds peak.

guess which in which.

However, if you want to see a picture that shows Trumps' at the peak attendance, check it out here.

Oh who gives a (frank)? Trump is a disaster who basically ran the most elaborate tax evasion operation in history by running for president. He will hand the keys over to Pence by 2019 when all the pertinent documents have been destroyed. The Left is a disaster and has been hijacked by the wussy "I'm always a victim" brigade where everything is offensive. 47 reasons Hilary lost and yet the biggest actual reason(Hilary) is somehow not valid. Way to not learn a god damn thing thus ensuring President Electrode gets elected in 2020.

Kevin O'Leary has already thrown his hat into the Conservative leaders race. They love him here in Alberta but he doesn't have a snowballs chance in hell because Ontario and Quebec literally decide every election due to concentration of the population thus more MP representation.

I think he'll win. Ontario is fed up with the Liberals b/c of recent Provincial Premiers Dalton McGuinty, Wynne & all the scandals.

When Wynne chastised O'Leary with the open latter, I believe she basically handed him the Prime Ministry

Ontario Conservatives & moderates will take delight in electing him because they hate Wynne. (even the left hate her now)

Quebec has always been full of fascists so its a no brainer that O'Leary will have full support while the left vote is divided amongst NDP and Liberal

Hmm, so a picture taken from a completely different angle, that conviently would hide gaps, is your proof that the aerial shot is wrong?

Interesting.

You can still see the gaps. Still nowhere near either Obama crowd.

In any case who would give a (frank) about such a thing? Apparently Trumpleganger does. The good news is Trump is pushing KXL ahead which benefits me directly, so I'm happy he's making my bank account great again.

Other than that, the man is a lunatic. It's awesome to watch.
