The talking point of the day: Sen. John McCain does not know how many houses he owns.
In a classic gaffe, he tells a reporter to check with his staff; he just doesn’t know. The McCain campaign says “at least” four. Newsweek estimates seven...
Here’s two truths that the McCain campaign can’t say: one, it is Cindy McCain’s money and not his.....

As many as he freakin' wants to.
Who freaking cares?
I’ll bet that none of his real estate purchases involved a guy convicted of 16 felonies. Dirty Rezko.
Great answer.
Cindy McCain is an executive at her family owned company.
Can’t Obama accept that a successful WOMAN can buy as many homes as she wants?
Well, I'm not like you Barium. I don't own a house and have never owned a house. Of course, if I'd been fortunate enough to get a sweet-heart mortgage deal from a friend, my ability to afford a piece of property would have increased. Frankly Barium, I really don't think you want to pursue the real estate topic.
Obama on Rezko deal: It was a mistake
November 5, 2006 | Chicago Sun-Times
U.S. Sen. Barack Obama expressed regret late Friday for his 2005 land purchase from now-indicted political fundraiser Antoin "Tony" Rezko in a deal that enlarged the senator's yard.
"I consider this a mistake on my part and I regret it," Obama told the Chicago Sun-Times in an exclusive and revealing question-and-answer exchange about the transaction.
In June 2005, Obama and Rezko purchased adjoining parcels in Kenwood. The state's junior senator paid $1.65 million for a Georgian revival mansion, while Rezko paid $625,000 for the adjacent, undeveloped lot. Both closed on their properties on the same day.
Obama's dealings with Rezko buy a parcel of questions Sweet blog: '08 hopeful in Iowa again. State worker puts up home for Rezko bail Blagojevich: I don't recall Rezko list Last January, aiming to increase the size of his sideyard, Obama paid Rezko $104,500 for a strip of his land.
The transaction occurred at a time when it was widely known Tony Rezko was under investigation by U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald and as other Illinois politicians befriended by Rezko distanced themselves from him.
He spent 5.5 years of his life without a “house” (and probably decent shoes). He is welcomed to as many houses and $500 shoes as he wants.
Humor will diffuse this quickly.
How is it possible not to know how many houses you own?
12% of Americans over 50 do own more than one piece of property. John Kerry, had how many?
His best answer would have been; “Ask Cindy.....”

Barak Obama says that his favorite verse of the bible is where is says we should be our brother's keeper.Very well - how many houses does Barry's youngest brother own? And does a 6.6 ft by 9.9 ft shanty count as a "house?"
What’s with this “hers, mine and ours” deal? How long have they been married? Is it just a business arrangement?
If Cindy has a wreak and becomes horribly disfigured and hobbled, McCain will file for divorce and then he will know how many he owns.
