I'm not sure if Obama is in a race to destroy our country, but in his time, the debt has raised at double the rate than it did during the Bush Administration. This is due to being handed a major recession ( thus, less income for govt. ) and increasing spending in response ( because you know, Keynesian multiplier :lol: :lol: :lol: )
However, the republicans in the Obama administration have refused to stop increasing military spending, refused to cut medicare, social security, and on top of that, have fought raising taxes to pay for it all. The only thing they differ on fiscally is whether we should start new programs ( that we can't pay for ) or not. But ultimately, the two sides have collectively pushed us past 'Greece' territory when it comes to debt and financial insolvency. Neither side has had good ideas.
But >98% of voters put these people who have failed to manage our country properly back into office. So who do you point the finger at? 125.5 million people, plus the couple thousand holding federal seats? It's not one man destroying the country, it's a very very long line of men ( and women ) that your fellow citizen put into office..
How 'bout some data?

^--- here's some information on 'debt per president'. Note that there was only one year since 1976 ( which was 2000, during the dot com boom ) when this number actually went down.
At the peak of the housing market bubble ( 2006 ), we were still accruing debt during that year. The Bush administration wasn't conservative with their spending, even while they had far more $ coming in as tax revenue.

Obama and his lapdogs in the media might boast about the unemployment rate dropping, but they are lying by omission. Unemployment has gone down because less people are looking for jobs, likely because they've given up. 1/6th of America is on food stamps and other government aid now.
You could point the finger at Obama, but how about this guy who left office obscuring facts, lying by omission, and throwing money everywhere trying to bail out banks, the car companies, and other groups? The same guy who's administration avoided repeated calls for intervention by the securities and exchange commision?
