Where did this come from and from what data is it compiled? Has anything been left out or added? Is it adjusted for inflation? Come on Jet, you can't just post something like that from the "office of the democrat leader" and expect us to bite.

I have been digging on this, and the picture I posted is misleading. I found it somewhere on the internet, but it looks like Nancy P used it before and it is very misleading, earning a "Pants on Fire" rating from Politifact.

Here it is, so I stand corrected.

Using the corrected figures does mean that, superficially at least, Democrats have a point. The debt did still increase more, on a percentage basis, under Bush than it did under Obama. But other problems with the chart and its methodology undercut even this conclusion.
