You may want to check your chart again.
Clinton was took power in '92, and in '91 (Bush Sr's final year) the rate was 96%
Clinton's final year it was 48%. That's is pretty astounding- 48% drop. So it looks like your implied critcism on Clinton is misplaced.
EDIT: Hey - I just noticed that chart you linked is for IRELAND!
EDIT 2: If you look at this link you will see Debt v GDP has risen under Bush
