I was cheering until I learned there really were no weapons of mass destruction, he hadn't figured out how to pay for the wars, and he took Clinton's massive budget deficit paydowns (we would have been out of debt by the end of Bush's first term had he simply continued it) and increased it greater than any President in our previous history. Bush really screwed us debt-wise, but that's the GOP legacy when you look back at the last 40 years or so. Obama isn't even close.
There's lot of charts available on that, just google USA debt chart, here's one:
