No, I'm not.

The Bush budget years… (url= Historical Tables | The White House All numbers from here Table 1.1[/url])

Here you go, from your link, only use table 7.1

Year Gross Debt
2001 5,769,881
2002 6,198,401
2003 6,760,014
2004 7,354,657
2005 7,905,300
2006 8,451,350
2007 8,950,744
2008 9,986,082
2009 11,875,851
2010 13,528,807

9,986,082 - 5,769,881 = $4.2 Trillion

So without even counting bush's 2009 budget, he added to the debt $4.2 trillion, over double what you claimed earlier.

And yes, Obama is ramping it up much more steeply. So deficits actually matter?
