No. Not even close to what I said.
The part of the deficit that is from Bush policies, is his; the part that is Obama's (not $5.7 trillion) is his; the part from before both men is neither of theirs.
Again - the debt when Bush left was nearly twice the actual cost of his policies - WHY was that?
Same reason Obama hasn't been responsible for "raising the debt by $5.7 trillion"
Every president inherits ongoing debt from the previous president. You can't blame a president for policies and debt that is hanging around, due to the guy before him.
That's beyond absurd, but it's exactly what the superficial and shallow are doing with the false attempt to blame Obama for debt not from his policies.
And the non-questioning keep repeating it. It's wrong.
