What year is this, 2010 or 2011? Obama took office in 2009. The Federal Budget begins in October, United States federal budget - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. So, Oct-09, Oct-10 are all Obama's just as Forplay said, two years. Furthermore, even most Liberals know that a Presidents term of office is 4 years. So, Forplay seems to be referring to 4 years of Obama's administration. It is so funny how desperate Liberals are to pretend Obama's budget's are Bush's. See the graph in my signature!
