The debt would have went up under anyones watch, me, you, anyone... nobody couldn't have stopped it from going up in the first year.

So the reality is, Obama's deficit is not as bad as Bush. Even if we give all 2 trillion to Obama simply because he was President, Bush still took it up over 5 trillion on his watch. And it wasn't Obama that 'directly' spent/increased or caused the 2 trillion dollar increase - so even saying it happened 'under his watch' is pure... word play.
I just don't get the blind hate for Obama - lots of shit to hate on, even a few things you truly might not agree with, like healthcare - but the blind hate, the blind accusations, the one sided direction of blame is, bat shit crazy talk.
