After Obama took office in Jan 2009 and giving him the benefit of not counting anything before 9/30/2009 against him, the national debt was $11,909,829,003,511.75
The national debt on 12/10/2015 was $18,762,069,058,578.88 and counting. Very near $19 trillion today. Obama is responsible for the debt through 9/20/2017 so please explain to me how he is going to avoid that stigma of doubling the national debt?

You are really missing some important points with your spending graph as the groundwork for much of that spending was committed to before Obama took office. You also forget the giant busting budget just passed by the republican controlled house and a big transportation bill they passed without paying for it. Easy to forget though when you're making a poor point is it not?
