Quote from AK Forty Seven:
Adding all of this up, deficit spending during Obamaâs four years in the White House (based on his own figures) will be an estimated $5.170 trillion â or $5,170,000,000,000.00.
Thats true.If Obama had done nothing but keep Bushs last budget of 1.2 trillion dollar deficit spending it would have added around 4.8 trillion to the debt
Most of Obamas debt is from paying the bills and lack of revenue Bush left behind

So, Bushes fault basically? Really?
