I'm sorry, I meant to say deficit, not debt. Easy to mix those up.
Spoiler:
And the debt went up a bunch for Obama, I believe, because we're now adding the wars into the equation, which were kept out of the official numbers during Bush's time.
NO politician is perfect. We can't ask for a godly president because no such man exists. And Obama's strategy is incredibly flawed, and it's only getting better because the Republicans in Congress are stopping him from throwing money everywhere like he was. BOTH parties are bad in various ways, and they need each other to disagree with in order to ensure this country isn't destroyed. Thanks to Obama's first two years, though, it's probably going to be.
What exactly is Obama doing to destroy the country? I've heard that the unemployment rate is dropping and that the national debt is less than it was when Obama entered office.
