A president’s pension currently is $191,300 per year, lasting until he is 80 years old.
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???

you forgot to adjust for inflation over that 26 years, and of course, the raises in the pension.

How far do you think $5M will go towards the cost of permanent military bases in Iraq?
