The pot and the kettle

You can see more acts of sheer audacity during a presidential campaign than anywhere else. Take, for instance, John "Pander Bear" McCain calling Barrack Obama insensitive to the poor and out of touch on economic issues. http://www.boston.com/news/nation/articles/2008/04/28/mccain_calls_ill_senator_insensitive_to_poor_people/
This from a Republican who has done an about face on the Bush tax cuts, which overwhelmingly favor the wealthy, he once opposed and who has admitted the economy is not his strong suit.
I've said it before but it's worth repeating. Can anyone point out the evidence that federal tax cuts in both the Reagan and Bush II administrations improved the economy? The facts suggest otherwise. In both cases the cuts and concurrent increased military spending caused an exploding federal deficit. Those deficits redirected federal revenue to pay off that debt. On the other hand the era of peace and prosperity in the 1990s happened during a Democratic administration.
McCain's charge that he would be more sensitive to the little guy and better able to manage the national economy just doesn't pass the laugh test.
