Yes, the Obama administration had significant levels of deficit spending. The federal budget for fiscal year 2019, which ended September 30, was projected to have a deficit of $984 billion, an increase of nearly $245 billion from the previous year. This was mainly caused by increases in mandatory spending on programs like Medicare and Social Security as well as high interest payments due to borrowing for past deficits.
