Duh…Odumbo’s only been in office for 3 years. You used numbers based on 2 years and 3 months. If we extrapolate, being unfortunate to have this Deceiver in Chief as our President for a second term, and he continues to piss away our treasury on useless spending, we can expect him to nearly triple the debt left from the George W. Bush administation.

This isn’t an accurate representation. It should be in dollars adjusted to current inflation, aka today’s dollar amounts.
