A president's pension currently is $191,300 per year, until he is 80 years old.
Assuming the next president lives to age 80. Sen. McCain would receive ZERO pension as he would reach 80 at the end of two terms as president. Sen. Obama would be retired for 26 years after two terms and would receive $4,973,800 in pension.
Therefore, it would certainly make economic sense to elect McCain in November.
(To bad that electing a president isn't like playing a game of Euchre. After the cards are dealt, if everyone passes up the opportunity to pick the card up and passes on the chance to choose a suit, then you toss your cards in for a new hand to be dealt. That way, we can pass on both nominees and get new ones :)
