McCain's speech today - his advisor's will make $1.00/year

[Old and In the Way]

If I were Obama / Hillary, I'd shred him on that one. You know Republicans don't enter national politics for altruistic purposes. This violates the Republican business model that they've operated under, for as long as I can remember. Sounds like he's going to allow his advisors to cut their own private sector deals while they advise on government policy. Or else the primary qualification to serve in McCain's administration is the need to be independently wealthy. A real representative group of people he's wants advising him.

1. So everybody advising him will make $1/year? will cabinet members forgo their wages

You're right it will be an administration of millionaires for millionaires.

2. Great....the billionaire Boys' & Girls' club of America in the WH. Here we go again.n/t

3. So is the average American under his presidency.

Obama should take it and run with it.

4. So McSame is saying that his whole Cabinet married millionaires

so they don't really need a salary, and thus won't be tied to such things as. . .oh, responsible government, answering to the American people. . .

5. I'd work for free too --

if I could just steal everything in sight, which you know they plan to do.
