The scary part? Jimmy McMillan, the “Rent is Too Damn High” guy, makes more economic sense than Obama.

At least he understands that costs levied on businesses are passed onto consumers, and he opposes the idea of pouring money into the economy, as the Obama Administration has done to little success.

Jimmy McMillan, the “Rent Is 2 Damn High” party candidate who stole the show at New York’s gubernatorial debate in October, has set his sights on a new contest: The 2012 presidential race.

“Tell Obama I’m coming after his black ass,” McMillan said in discussing his planned candidacy on Revolution Radio yesterday, as Ben Smith noted…

McMillan said on Revolution Radio that people who call him a “one-issue candidate” are idiots since high prices at the supermarket, for example, are a form of rent.

He also complained about the bank bailout and economic stimulus package in light of the fact that people are facing foreclosure and otherwise struggling economically.

“The president is making a bad mistake by pouring money into the economy the way he’s doing it,” McMillan said.

Comedy (and traffic) gold.
