I was attempting a light hearted dig.

If you have facts that contradict my opinion, present them as such. Don't change what I said, or attribute words to me that I did not express.

It was an unfortunate mistake. I was browsing while on my phone without my reading glasses...and I inadvertently pressed the "edit" button instead of the "quote" button when trying to respond to your post. I did the same to a boxcar post a while back...and it created a lot of needless confusion. This "edit" button that the moderators here have is in the same spot where the "quote" button used to be on my screen, and I mistakenly press it sometimes, when I hasten to respond. I promise to be more careful in the future.

I believe you Gus, but the real questions surround what you did 36 years ago as to whether you're being honest and upstanding or not.

No harm, no foul. I figured it was something like that, but I just wanted to clarify that the words were not mine.

Obama 12,000 point rise in 8 years,
Trump 6,000 point rise in 2 years.

I didn't say anything about Obama, the comparison was Clinton.

Clinton was a good president, but a bad person.

Pretty good point.
He learned in his second term that he had to drop the BS liberal agenda and cooperate.
0bama NEVER cooperated.
