On the day President Bush took office, the national debt stood at $5.727 trillion. The numbers from the Treasury Department in September 2008 showed the national debt then stood at more than $9.849 trillion.

I subtracted the two. You didn't provide other data.
Since you said "on bush's watch" I toook your ending number, above, and subtracted from the obama number YOU posted.

12.759-9.849=2.91
Yeah, I rounded it up to 3.
Sorry, I didn't look the numbers up, just used what YOU posted.
