Harold again I am not certain where you are getting your information, but using the figures from this webiste, http://www.treasurydirect.gov/NP/NPGateway (also used to calculate the debt clock) here is what you find. Just looking at one year to the date. In November 8 2008 the total public outstanding debt was, 10,622,166,941,631.68 just prior to President Obama taking office this figure was, 10,655,601,512,061.19 the figure as of today is 11,990,561,444,829.48 Now Harold if we go back the same number of months in office for President Bush, January 2008 that figure was 9,194,165,780,462.91. So Harold lets do the math. For the similar time frame President Bush saw the debt rise by 1,428,001,161,168.77 For President Obama the figure is, 1,334,959,932,768.29. Harold I just want you to see the acutal figures, I am not blaming President Bush or President Obama, we are all in this mess together and we need to all figure out together how we will get out of this. Again we need only look at our situation back in the early 1980's to see a simiar situation and we came out of that. One thing I know for sure is that misrepresentation, attacking follow Americans and sitting around flinging complaints is not going to help get things right.
