    The president's pension currently is $191,300 per year, until he is 80 years old.
    Assuming the next president lives to age 80. Sen. McCain would receive ZERO pension as he would reach 80 at the end of two terms as president.
    Sen.Obama would be retired for 26 years after two terms and would receive $4,973,800 in pension.

    Therefore it would certainly make economic sense to elect McCain in November.

    How about this logic then.
    Electing Obama doesn't make good economic sense and one reason is windfall profits tax.
    I'm hoping most people will be smart enough to realize that the consumer/ taxpayer will ultimately pay for his windfall profits tax.
    Its just like socialization, nothing is free, someone always has to pay and its ultimately the consumer and taxpayer!
