Give him a break, I think he is now finally realizing he was hoodwinked and bamboozled by Obama.

It's also interesting that in just in two and a half years, Obama has added more to the debt than Bush did in eight.

It's also interesting that in just in two and a half years, Obama has added more to the debt than Bush did in eight.
According to Treasury Department figures the national debt was $10.62 trillion ($10,626,877,048,913.08) when Obama took office on January 20, 2009. As of August 22, 2011, the most recent date for which data are available, the national debt stood at $14.6 trillion ($14,612,435,498,338.62) and rising.
When Bush entered the presidency in January 2001, the national debt was $5.72 trillion ($5,727,776,738,304.64).
Due to the recent debt-ceiling deal, the national debt under Obama will exceed the current $14.6 trillion level, running up more debt in three years than his predecessor Bush accumulated in eight years.
