   Then you should be apoplectic about W's continuing effect on the debt:   
      
   "Since President Obama became chief executive, the national debt has   
   risen almost $5 trillion. But how much of that was because of policies   
   passed by Obama, and how much was caused by the financial crisis, the   
   continuation of past policies and other effects? For this analysis, we   
   worked with the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities to attach a price   
   tag to the legislation passed by Obama and his predecessor. George W.   
   Bush’s major policies increased the debt by more than $5 trillion during   
   his presidency. Obama has increased the debt by less than $1 trillion."
