And you are correct... debt was about 10 trillion when BO entered office. That 10 trillion was from ALL before him so the notion that this administration, alone, increased it by 7 trillion is ludicrous! Ludicrous? With the economy he inherited? Just where have you been living? 2012 $359,796,008,919.49 2011 $454,393,280,417.03 2010 $413,954,825,362.17 2009 $383,071,060,815.42 2008 $451,154,049,950.63 These are the interest dues on the debt.. just interest... Rounding its a total of 2.06 trillion alone. That leaves 5 trillion.. so far this year it stands at 370 billion. Im not a die in the wool Obama defender. I have been known to defend Bush as well. The notion that any President gets a vacation is laughable. The belief that Bush was soley responsible for the aftermath of Katrina is a joke. He didnt lie about WMD, I do believe he was lied to... there is a big difference. I prefer hard numbers. The economy is still in the shitter, but a hell of a lot better than when Obama took office. Its actually amazing that out debt isnt higher than it is. For all the complaints about an obstructionist Congress, we can thank them, partly, for that. Cant get bills passed, cant spend money. I like Obama for his attempts at health care reform... though I think he fell way short of the mark I would have loved to have seen. I dont look at politics, I look at results. The results of the Bush administration were ludicrous. But he wasnt soley at fault. Nor is Obama. And WE are to blame because WE keep voting in the same fucking morons to Congress who keep up this pretense of knowing what is best for us without actually giving a damn what we think. Its politics as usual, and you bought into the lies.
