Should the President of the United States have a Swiss bank account?

Although I find free-traders like this chap insufferable, I've found some on the left not as willing to blow 'em off:

So let me see if I got this straight: the negatives are bad and the victims are easy to find but the benefits are fantastic but spread out so much it makes them almost impossible to find.

Does that break down Kinsley's contention are am I missing something?

Because that sort of sounds like a load of shit.

 

The president should have the same damn retirement benefits and insurance that we have.

 

That's not just Kinsley's contention ... but yes, you read it right. That's the way it goes.

Trickle Down, a spectacular success since 1981.

 

That ad is devastating.

Replace "impossible to find" with "less easy to whip people up into an emotional frenzy over" and I'd pretty much agree with that sentiment.

 

The ad is not as big as Daisy, but it does hurt Romney badly.

Daisy was in another league.

And these issues will be great debate fodder in a few months.

Would that they would be really debated ... We won't be that fortunate, though.
