Assume the "whoops" in the header is italicized, and the whole header is in red. If someone tells me how to do that, I will. Okay, I settled for all caps.
My apologies. This is like the third time I've pulled a brain fart like this. I misread someone's post and then ride it for about five more posts until they reword it somehow and a light dawns. Then I go back and re-read the thread, and go "shit. I see what he was saying, now."
I don't remember the last time, but I think it was even worse than this one.
Your very first response actually made your point. I can't even think now how I was reading that at the time. I got stuck on 2009 not counting for Obama, and the obvious alternative didn't shake loose.
You're right. Bush's numbers don't look so hot if you shove everything one year forward.
Hey, can we play that trick on the Clinton "surplus?" Oh crap, I just looked. 2001 was still a surplus year.

WHOOPS. YOU'RE RIGHT!
