Now that presidential election shennanigans are done and Obama doesn't have to keep calling John McCain "out of touch," he might want to refer to similar "McCain-ian" wisedom coming from Liberal Democrats "across the pond" in the U.K. that have decided it makes more economic sense to go ahead and cut taxes where possible to fuel economies and fend off more downturns.

A BBC report breaks it down.
On a similar note. While the fog clears from the American electoral political minefield, the only thing left in the fog is any tangible understanding of Barack Obama.

It ends up that these guys are discussing how well executed the Obama campaign was when it comes to presenting the concept of Barack Obama to a nation that still doesn't have a clue what his economic policies or likelihood of action might be on coming issue. Watch these gentlemen talk about how Obama admits he isn't what his "image" claims he is, how they call his presentations "controlling" and "scary" amongst other claims that outline the show for the whitehouse that we just witnessed.
In summary, it seems they are outing the press for having made McCain look like a presidential player while not "outing" Obama for the same thing. In the case of Obama, they celebrate how well he played his politics (an ironic turn from their previoius praise about how politically accessible and honest and unique they thought he was.) This is classic! The press is preparing to cover their butts on a new president that might go rogue (or not... they don't know, and that's the point.)
