I don't know that anyone is blaming the debt on Bush; there has been a US debt since the second world war. But the massive budget deficit can be laid squarely at his feet.

Yes the deficit is his fault, entirely. I will certainly agree with that.
And even if Clinton was running surpluses, it wouldn't have done much to pay of the debt. The US needs to cut back on all their pork.
