Wow! I wonder where these numbers come from. From the following website (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_public_debt) comes the following data for Gross Public Debt:2000 (Bush elected) $ 5.629T2008 (Bush last year) $ 9.986T2009(Obama first year) $11.876T2010 (last year) $13,529T
So, under Bush, the debt increased an average of about $500B per year, and under Obama, it increased about $2T per year. So far.
