McCain Forgets How Many Houses He Owns (yeah right)
August 21, 2008
Is John McCain so oblivious to the world around him that he doesn't know how many houses he owns. According to an interview of McCain in New Mexico on Wednesday, he told reporters "I think -- I'll have my staff get to you," when asked how many houses he owned. "It's condominiums where -- I'll have them get to you."
Need I say anything more about this or is it embarrassing enough in and of itself? In response Obama said, "...John McCain has seven homes. There's just a fundamental gap of understanding between John McCain's world and what people are going through every single day here in America. You don't have to be a Nobel Prize-laureate economist, you just have to have a little bit of a sense of what ordinary people are going through to understand that we can't afford eight more years or four more years or one more year of the failed economic policies that George Bush has put in place."
One other note about hypocrisy; if you're going to try and label someone as elitist, you better shoot straight about the fact that you own 7 houses.
