Bush), a president who served one term (George H.W. Bush), and a president who had served half a term (Obama). Obviously, the longer a president holds office the greater the opportunity for him to influence the debt, and certainly (barring a radical change in current circumstances) the increase reported for Barack Obama will be considerably higher by the time he leaves office (whether that be in 2013 or 2017)."
As Snopes predicted, the increase in actual dollars reported for Barack Obama is already CONSIDERABLEY higher than all the other Presidents.
