Not shocking. Obama's four year term racked up more public debt than Bush's combined eight year terms.
Economically speaking, Barack Obama is the worst president in United States history.

GW Bush added 6.1 Trillion to the debt, President Obama has added 3.6 during the worst economic crisis in generations.
I wonder what the debt would be without the war in Iraq or the tax breaks for Millionaires and Billionaires that GW put in place and that the GOP refuse to get rid of?

Awww Mr reagan when gas was 89 cents a gallon and a savings account actually paid 6% a year and the dollar was actually worth something.
Yeah, I miss the 80's. $300/week was actually good money. You could have a car, a decent apartment, and still afford to have fun.
