McCain, Obama Staffers to Square off

Douglas Holtz-Eaken and Gary Gensler – the top advisers for presidential nominees John McCain and Barack Obama respectively – will spar over economic policy September 15 at the National Association of Federal Credit Unions (NAFCU) 34th Annual Congressional Caucus Luncheon.

“We are delighted to host Holtz-Eakin and Gensler at NAFCU’s Congressional Caucus,” NAFCU President Fred R. Becker said in a statement.

“The upcoming presidential election and the economy are of top interest for everyone this year, so we are very pleased to be able to offer Caucus attendees the chance to hear the presumptive presidential candidates’ economic platforms firsthand. Their discussion promises to be a lively one with an opportunity for questions from the audience.”

Fifteen member of Congress will also address the caucus, which runs Sept. 14 to 17.
