Presidential economics

Here’s the lede from a New York Times piece that shows just how John McCain or Barack Obama would handle the economy.

Senators John McCain and Barack Obama released their Senate financial disclosure statements on Friday, revealing that Mr. McCain and his wife had at least $225,000 in credit card debt and that Mr. Obama and his wife had put more than $200,000 into college funds for their daughters.

Who knew Obama was such a traditionalist? Saving to buy things: how old school.

McCain, though, really does represent all of us, doesn’t he? And if the street wisdom is true and we get the president we deserve, then I guess he will be unbeatable this fall.
