FLASHBACK 9/2008: "Bush Administration Adds $4 Trillion To National Debt"
With no fanfare and little notice, the national debt has grown by more than $4 trillion during George W. Bush's presidency.
It's the biggest increase under any president in U.S history.
On the day President Bush took office, the national debt stood at $5.727 trillion. The latest number from the Treasury Department shows the national debt now stands at more than $9.849 trillion. That's a 71.9 percent increase on Mr. Bush's watch.

Duhhhh....where'd all that DEBT come from? Pfft. I think that's obvious. I looked this up because some twat on twitter tried to blame DEMOCRATS for running up the debt. :wtf:

I remember those days, conservatives were saying WTF are the republicans doing, the libs screamed bloody murder, and chimpeachment.
Now here we are in 2011 3 short years later and its up to over $14 trillion, and the same DUmmies that crucified Bush are defending 0bama, and still saying it's all Bush's fault.

$4 trillion in eight years under Bush, very bad.
$4.8 trillion in three years under Obama, HORRENDOUS!
Math is hard.
