The first official day of the Obama-McCain battle has been all about the economy. Obama has been blasting Republican policies and McCain fought back by saying "Obama says I'm running for George Bush's third term, it seems to me he's running for Jimmy Carter's second." In other words, McCain is falling back on traditional partisan economic arguments, i.e. that Republicans want smaller government and lower taxes and Democrats are giant tax and spend monsters. What I don't understand is how someone who wants to spend two billion dollars a week in Iraq can even attempt to make that argument. The old paradigm is outdated and irrelevant. The economy was in brilliant shape during the Clinton administration and not so much with the Bushies. I'm just now realizing that nothing about this post brings the funny. Sorry. I'll try and get Rach to do something else about Mitt Romney's tan.

Eh, maybe not a "humor" post but important all the same. Cheap gas is now 4.17 and will increase another dollar by mid summer. And that's just gas. Its only one booger in a nose full of snot.
The economy is going to be a major factor this election. Pull out the hankies...
Love the blog guys.
