US Debt by President: By Dollar and Percent
Interesting but the fact is that only Congress can create a deficit or debt. We tend to blame or give credit to whoever happens to be president at the time, but Congress is who has the pocketbook. The president can only spend the White House Budget.

During President Obama's two terms, more money was added to the debt than during the terms of all the other presidents combined. Take a look at who controlled Congress during those years.
