President Obama did not cause a debt increase. A number of circumstances, including President Bush committing the U.S. to two wars that were not paid for, as well as giving a tax cut during wartime, led to the debt, as did the global recession. While some people may criticize decisions that President Obama has made since he took office, many of the reasons for the debt were already set in motion before he was elected.

In 2001, the national debt Bush inherited was around $5.7T, give or take. When Bush left office in 2009, the debt was nearly $11T. That's an increase of 89 percent.

Has obama added more debt than all other presidents?
The president does not have the power to create debt. But Obama's party which has controlled both houses of Congress these past two years has authorized record levels of public debt. The above is a non-sequitur - as long as we continue to deficit spend, each year will bring "record" debt levels. According to the OMB and CBOE (the White House and Congress' accountants, respectively), the Obama administration has added over $4 Trillion to the total US debt in 2009-2011. The G.W.Bush administration added about $6 Trillion from 2001-2009. Also, remember that when doing comparisons, one must use INFLATION-ADJUSTED DOLLARS, since $1 in 1900 is worth significantly more than $1 in 2000.
