Democratic lie Debt vs deficit

One of the key LIES Democrats tell to try and deflect proof of Obama worst ever presidency is , when it is said Obama doubled the accumulated DEBT from 9 to $20 Trillion, they say Obama cut the deficit in half. That is a non sequitur and a lie. By deficit they mean annual shortfall and is not a refutation of his doubling the debt. Bush largest annual deficit 450 billion. Obama deficit year 1 1.4 trillion. Year 2 1.3 trillion. His record deficits he did cut but 2016, back up to more than a trillion. As Obama called it when campaigning in 2008, this is unpatriotic and irresponsible. Worst president ever.
