and for good measure:
UncleBuck thes figures are dishonest, since if you remember he had the bailout at the end of 2008/early 2009, which officially counted under Bush's watch due to the fiscal calendar. So, you consider the massive bailout as Bush's budget when in fact it wasn't part of the standard budget. Also, some banks did partially repay the bailout which is credited to Obama.
Here is the chart you need to see
Apparently the argument you are now making is that because the debt grew under Bush and Obama, then republicans have little grounds to criticize, which I agree with, however it makes you unable to criticize Bush as well, which I have no doubt that you were the #1 vocal opponent of Bush when he was in office.
Deficit is a moot point in my opinion as well, its like saying Obama only spent 1.2 Trillion he didn't have, when Bush spent 1.4 Trillion he didn't have, so Obama is better because he spent less money that he doesn't have lol
