er . . .. no.

5 to 10 = Doubled.

10 to 15 != "doubled". While neither president has exactly been a friend to peace, President Obama's spending is due to Bewsh's shite decision making on the economy that gave the wealthy the keys to our kingdom while not giving back (and modern congressional blackmail with Bewsh's tax cuts). Let's not allow this myth to propagate.
