Obama's Unpatriotic Debt

Obama called the national debt increase under George W. Bush “irresponsible” and “unpatriotic.” The debt accumulated under the Bush Administration was about $4.9 trillion in 8 years. Under Obama the debt has increased by about $5.6 trillion in almost 4 years. According to Obama this means he is irresponsible and unpatriotic. Furthermore, spending levels from 2008-2012 have increased by more than $800 billion, so if you disliked Bush because of the amount of debt that ran up on his watch, you must really hate Obama.
