I’m not sure where that guy was coming from, but the federal deficit under Bush grew from roughly $5.9 trillion to about $9.5 trillion. During 2008 TARP was passed ($700 billion dollars) and in early 2009 Bush went back to Congress for another $300 billion so Obama could hit the ground running.

The figures for Obama in his first year may reflect part of that due to the nature of the fiscal year breakdown.

The point is that Bush was no saint when it came to spending, despite the fact that Obama’s spending tends to make him look like more of one. Obama is spending at an astounding rate.

My debt accumulation figures under Bush above were rough estimates, but when I studied this a year or more ago, the national debt increased in the neighborhood of 92% under Bush.

Not trying to belabor the point, but here is a chart that roughly backs my comments, but isn't as specific as I would have liked.
