Artist,
I am going to completely ignore the "shoot ever damn liberal out there" comment in an effort to educate you just a little. Knowing full well it will most likely be futile, I hope you can at least pay me just enough respect to read and comprehend this.
Fact #1: Over 2/3rd's of the entire national debt was acquired by the last three Republican Administrations. Since 1941, Republicans have outpaced Democrats in adding to our National debt by 63%. At last count, the actual numbers are (R) 10.31 Trillion vs. (D) 6.32 Trillion. This is beyond dispute and you can find these numbers here:

Notice this is not a link to an editorial piece or some pundit's blog. This is a link to the actual historical tables by fiscal year for the United States government all the way back to 1789. This comes directly from the Whitehouse.
Fact #2: Since 1941, Democrats have outpaced Republicans in job creation by 70.2%. The actual numbers are (R) 34,733,000 vs (D) 59,125,000. Again, this is beyond dispute, and you can find these numbers here:

Again, note that this is not an editorial piece or a pundit blog. This link will point to a data retrieval tool where you can find this information and do some 5th grade math.
Fact# 3: Of the $4.7 Trillion in debt racked up during Obama's term so far, only about $983 billion of it can actually be attributed to Obama's policies or lack there of. The truth of the matter is that the sum of Obama's actual debt amounts to nothing more than the stimulus package at $800 million, and a small chunk of mandatory spending. Where's the rest of that $4.7 Trillion you ask? Well, the rest of that deficit is made up of Bush Policies (two middle east wars and tax cuts), and lack of revenue due to the recession that was left behind.
Now, I know it's tough to swallow, but for any Conservative to say something like, "this fucker has topped Bush in spending", is really only saying you disagree with Republican policies left over from Bush's Administration and that you disagree with the Republican Congress currently in session who have used these policies to hold our economy hostage. This Congress has repeatedly prevented the current administration from actually doing anything to change them.
Now, I encourage you to try do your own independent research, and I dare you to make even the slightest effort to dispute this information. I'm not making this up, not trying to trick you, not trying to sway you one way or the other. These are cold hard facts. Deal with it.
