A president’s pension currently is $191,300 per year, for life.
Assuming the next president lives to age 80:

1) Sen. McCain would receive ZERO pension, as he would reach 80 at the end of two terms as president.

2) Sen. Obama would be retired for 26 years after two terms, so would receive $4,973,800 in pension.

Therefore, it would certainly make economic sense to elect McCain in November.
Now, how’s that for non-partisan thinking???

Ahh, but what if Obama doesn't "make it" to the end of his term?

I'd bet my last dollar on Obama being the next US president who gets assassinated if he wins office.

Dear Mr Secret Serviceman:

For the record, we at the cellar would like to formally state that we know of know such betting pool that would allow us to bet upon said assassination. If we hear of one, or of a plot to help someone win said pool, we will certainly notify you immediately.

Thank you,

The Dwellars
