Hmm, The Original Title I Used No Longer Made Sense After I Rewrote The Post…

Marc Ambinder flags “a statement released in John McCain’s name by his campaign”, noting that the candidate’s budget plan remains rather unhindered by reality. I, on the other hand, am merely offended by Grandpa John’s presumption:
I have an unmatched record in fighting wasteful earmarks and unnecessary spending in the U.S. Senate and I have the determination and experience to do the same as President. As President, I have committed to balancing the budget by the end of my first term. Today’s news makes that job harder, but should not change our resolve to make the tough decisions and the genuine effort to reach across the aisle that are needed to ensure a lasting solution to the spending problem that threatens the very stability of our economy.
[Emphasis added]
How dare John McCain speak as though he were already president, ignoring the right of the people to decide this election? Does he think the presidency has already been granted him by divine-
Oh, John McCain is white? Nevermind, then. His statement is totally par for the course in an election.
