Who raised the debt ceiling?

[mEDITate-OR:
forget that you, too, were both guilty...
----------
Said every, single, one of them:
"Who..., me?"
---------
Since 1980, the debt ceiling has been raised 39 times.
It was raised 17 times under Ronald Reagan,
four times under Bill Clinton and
seven times under George W. Bush
 Congress is currently in a contentious debate with the White House on whether to raise the ceiling by the Aug. 2 deadline, which would make the fourth raise under Obama.
Correction:
A previous version of this graphic switched the colors for Democrats and Republicans in the House.
