I had to Google the seven wars. He did indeed bomb seven countries. Pakistan, Somalia, Yemen, Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq and Libya if anyone cares.
Well, no one (other than other liberals) ever accused liberals of being smart.

While I am no huge fan of Obama. He did like bombing places, but not boots on the ground war. Money was spent, much of it in the US. And and think he was ok with some taxcuts.
Now lets compare to the typical Republican administration. Do a boots on the ground war, maybe two. Cut taxes, much for the very well off. And don't forget increase defense spending.
George W financed those wars off the books, recall that aluminium tubes thing, Obama put those wars on the books.
Trump is two out of three so far on the cutting taxes and increasing defense spending, great start for someone who ran as a populist who is all about change.
And don't forget, complain about deficits when the Democrats are in office, rinse, wash, repeat. Because deficits for wars are good, but spending in the US isn't. And taxcuts for the rich because trickle down economics works!

He also began the refugee crisis that is destroying Europe and causing so much trouble for Trump.

I think Bush was Stage One and Obama was Stage Two.
Hillary was intended to be Stage 3.

Debt is a problem when you are paying insane interest on it (think credit card debt).
Debt is acceptable when the interest of that debt is less than the vale of investing that into economic growth (think mortgage).
The amount of debt is one aspect of a multi-layered economic policy.
