Country Club Economics

Via Steve Benen in his new home at Political Animal, Obama's latest ad:

There's plenty of entertaining subtleties here, most notably the footage of McCain riding around in a golf cart with the first President Bush when the voice-over talks about "Country Club Economics."

The ad comes a couple of hours after the McCain campaign unveiled a new ad telling voters, "Celebrities don't have to worry about family budgets, but we sure do." I'm curious, what's this "we" stuff? If McCain can't keep track of how many homes he owns, and spends about a quarter of a million dollars a year on household staff, he's probably not especially worried about family budgets. Call it a hunch.

The McCain campaign couldn't wait a couple of days before unveiling a new "elitism" attack? Did it not occur to these guys that their latest spot would look pretty silly today?

McCain certainly seems to love his golf more than the poor people he hopes to lead.

He loves his warmongering more too.
