Hmmm...

Okay, the debt is growing but this article claims its dropping. That's all I need to know.


That article is talking about the deficit, not the overall debt. Whilst the overall debt is still increasing, the rate of increase has actually dropped whilst Obama has been President. You can't just freeze or reduce debt without first reducing the deficit in the government's budget.

It's unrealistic to expect any President to have stopped or reduced the US' national debt.
