I am not sure you you really think I said he was a "bigger friend to Big Oil than Bush"? Is that some weird debate technique or do you really think I said that?

Zimmy, a little while ago, you said this (an exact, direct quote)..."Adding more debt: yeah 2% more than Bush 2 at this point."
Instead of dissecting every hypertechnicality of my posts, how about telling us all what you meant by that. Can you support that statement, please?
Here is some data (1st column is year, 2nd column is debt as of that year, 3rd column is annual increase to the debt)
Government Spending Chart: United States 2000-2012 - Federal State Local Data
Year Debt Annual Debt Increase
2000 5,629
2001 5,770 141
2002 6,198 429
2003 6,760 562
2004 7,355 595
2005 7,905 551
2006 8,451 546
2007 8,951 499
2008 9,986 1,035
2009 11,876 1,890
2010 13,529 1,653
2011 14,764 1,235
2012 16,351 1,587
During Bush's first 3 years (2001-2003), he added $1.1 trillion to the debt. During Obama's first 3 years (2009-2011), he added $4.8 trillion to the debt.
During Bush's entire 8 years, he added about $4.4 trillion to the debt (less of an increase than Obama added in just 3 years). And Bush got dragged into a war on terror, forcing us to build a massive anti-terror infrastructure. And he saved the lives of 1.2 million Africans, which to me is worth just about any price.
Zimmy, once again, here is what you posted...
"..."Adding more debt: yeah 2% more than Bush 2 at this point."
Zimmy, please do one of 2 things...
(1) show me how Obama increased the debt by 2% more than Bush
or
(2) admit you made it up.
Good day. And checkmate.
