There might be several updates to that list..... like

First President to be handed 8 trillion dollars worth of debt by the three previous republican presidents.

It is not the last three republican presidents it is all the presidents the debt is 8 trillion and he has more than doubled that in just 6 years. With Obama care he will probably double it in another 6 years

The current debt is 17.5+ billion dollars, so it took Obama only 6 years to add basically as much debt as the presidents from 1988-2008 combined. Is that correct?

No, it's 17.5+ Trillion with a big T.

My bad tyme you are correct. Typo on my part. You could also say it took one president to rack up the same dollar amount as three combined. But you can also say some of the repubs also doubled the amount and look at it that way so I will acknowledge that point of view. So they're all adept at spending others' money in one way or another.

Edit: what's ole slick willie's numbers look like? Could be promising as he was both banging interns and keeping that debt under control?

yes, that is about right... You won't get me to defend the present president but he is neither the first nor the worst... Hard liners like to use numbers to crucify obama with because that is the only way they they can make him sound worse than Reagan or Bush11... The truth is Reagan. Nearly trippled the debt and Bush11 nearly doubled it... Unless the debt goes to 20 trillion he will not catch Bush11 and it will have to reach 25 trillion or so for him to catch Reagan so you go ahead a use numbers, thats the only way you can put this fool ahead of the two fore mentioned idiots.

When you say Reagan tripled the debt he raised it 2 trillion in 8 years compared to 7.5 trillion in 6 years.

See how well using straight numbers works for the right.. I dont believe Reagan added quite 2 T to the debt but considering he started with .8 T.
