I hope you're joking, debt percentage is not an indication of rate of change, we had increased our national debt well over 100% multiple times during the Bush presidency and you have to consider what the country was like before he got into fucking office
Bush, 2 terms - $4.9 trillion
Obama, 1 term - $5.3 trillion
Just because the percentage is higher doesn't mean you can justify that Obama spends less than the other presidents in the past. You also have to consider that under his "leadership" our country is becoming more and more vulnerable to attack, while also going farther and farther into debt. And remember all the promises he made before his first term started? Oh yeah that's right, he never fulfilled them.
