Our President inherited an economy that was declining. The decline started well before Bill Clinton left office. That by itself will increase the budget deficit. The tax cut would have turned things around reasonably well but along came 911. The devastation of that to our economy is immeasurable as people stopped buying and flying. And that, by itself pushed us further into a budget deficit. Then we have to now defend ourselves in ways we never imagined. It cost a ton of unbudgeted money. That further pushed us into budget deficit.

Now what part of that did our President cause?

IMO he didn't cause any of it.

So true, don't understand why this isn't pointed out more by the Republican's. They shouldn't assume that its obvious, there's too many naive people out there.
