That's 8 years versus 3 (well, 4 really).

Remember in 2008 we were told it was unpatriotic to increase the debt by $4 Trillion.

National Debt has increased more under Obama than under Bush - Political Hotsheet - CBS News

Quote:
(CBS News) The National Debt has now increased more during President Obama's three years and two months in office than it did during 8 years of the George W. Bush presidency.

The Debt rose $4.899 trillion during the two terms of the Bush presidency. It has now gone up $4.939 trillion since President Obama took office.
I know, I know, it was all Bush's fault.

A MOUNTAIN of debt under obama.


"Mountain of Debt" - YouTube

"I don't want to wake up in four years from now and find out our children's future was mortgaged by another mountain of debt"

Here's something to look forward to;

If obama is re-elected, the debt will be $20 + Trillion in 2016, an 87% INCREASE.

if you want to talk about mortgaging your children's future -- then you seem to have conveniently omitted the other, much larger $50 trillion+ mountain. Try incorporating that into your "Analysis."

The same place they got it from to pay for the wars and contributing to foreign nations I guess.

The Fed.

Hyperinflation will occur. Once that happens, all bets are off.

This is why it is imperative that Obama gets another term.

If one of the Republican clowns running for president somehow ended up in the White House, the national debt will skyrocket exponentially as they push for more tax cuts for the rich and increased defense spending. GOP chickenhawks will then push for war against Iran, which will cost another $1 trillion. And then say goodbye to the economic recovery, and say hello to yet another GOP depression.

This election is far too important to our nation's future to hand over to the GOP. We must mobilize and get out the vote for Obama for another 4 years!

And an increase of 200% if Flip-Flop Romneyturd, Spewt, or Saint Santo gets in. No thanks!

Awesome analysis..... So cutting spending shouldn't be considered?
