What did Obama do that caused the Great Recession 2008/2009? If you can't answer these simple questions, you are not being honest.

Here is the math that Republicans refused to accept, because it doesn't fit their warped belief, spread by the Republican media, that Obama has doubled the national debt.

National Debt 9/30/09 was 11,909, and the debt n 9/30/15 18,150. That is an increase of 6,241 trillion.

National debt on 9/30/01 was 5,807, debt on 9/30/09 was 11,909. That is an increase of 6,102 trillion.

Bush increase in eight years is $6,102 trillion Obama increase in six years is 6,241 trillion. Neither is very good, but Obama will not double the national debt during his eight years.

If Obama is an incompetent hack, what was "W"? I think that "W" was a decent president that was surrounded by total jerks, that made his presidency one of the worse in the history of this country.
