100 days and counting

The run for the White House is reaching its final stretch. In the wake of the Magical World Tour, Acting President Obama and the Gentleman from Arizona are already having their tax numbers called into question. Both plans would probably run deficits, but Obama's (1.3 percent of GDP) would likely be smaller than McCain's (1.8 percent). Obama's plan would more likely benefit the middle class while McCain's would benefit the upper class. Of course all of this follows the prediction by Team Bush of a record budget deficit of $490 billion for the 2009 budget year. And while Sen. Kent Conrad (D. N.D.) was busy calling the Actual President At Least On Paper Bush the Worst. President. Ever. an internal report at the Justice Department was calling Alberto Gonzales Worst. Attorney General. Ever. So going into the last 100 days, one expects that this reality show will have more plot twists than a season of Mad Men, but will be less interesting to watch.
