At 50 seconds in the segment McConnell claims that President Obama has added more debt than all Presidents combined! LIAR LIAR PANTS ON FIRE!!! In fact, as of Jan. 31, 2012, the rise under Obama had yet to surpass the rise under his predecessor, George W. Bush. factcheck.org/2012/02/dueling-debt-deceptions/ Before we get to our ruling, its worth noting that actions taken by both Presidents Bush and Obama have contributed to the debt increases over the last decade. Those factors include tax cuts enacted under Bush and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, both of which were started by the Bush administration, as well as the stimulus bill and another tax cut deal approved by Obama. politifact/new-jersey/statements/2012/may/04/chain-email/obama-has-added-more-national-debt-previous-43-pre/
