Will we show everyone just the one poor shack that man-of-the people Obama owns?

Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) told Politico’s Ben Smith that it was McCain “who wears $500 shoes, has six houses, and comes from one of the richest families in his state."

And David Axelrod, Obama’s chief strategist, referred in an interview with Adam Nagourney of The New York Times to an imagined meeting of McCain strategists “on the portico of the McCain estate in Sedona — or maybe in one of his six other houses.”

Funny, but I don't remember democrats mentioning how many homes John Kerry owned when he ran for President. I must have just not noticed.

Oh, Brother.

Ask my husband how many outbuildings we have on our farm; he can’t tell ya. Ask him how many chickens we have in our current flock; he can’t tell ya. Ask him where his car keys are each morning; he can’t tell ya. However, he’s of near-Mensa level intelligence. Go figure.

‘Housekeeping’ is the wife’s responsibility, no matter how many houses her husband has provided for her. ;)

Yep. That’s really relevant to this nation’s issues.

That’s what I’m thinking. We want someone who knows how to take care of Business.

After McCain spent years in the Hanoi Hilton, I’m glad for him.

I’d rather support a guy who owns a hundred homes scandal free than a guy who wheels and deals with Rezco for his one estate.

Obama’s campaign shouldn’t lean too heavily on the question of real estate, in my opinion.

McCain unsure how many houses he ownsMy wife and I have that same problem, so we can sympathize with Juan on this one.

We get so confused that we forget the ones on the Riviera, Capri, Malibu and that little shack in Kennybunkport.

Many of the 535 idiots useful to international socialism have that problem as they have so much money they know that it can't all be taken away by the tax hogs.

(Of course my good wife doesn't have one of the largest Anheiser-Busch distributorships in the world.

“Ask him where his car keys are each morning; he can’t tell ya.”

I used to have that problem myself. I once had a nightmare of not being able to find my suit and tie. I dreamed of calling the general manager: “I can’t find my suit. I’ll have to wear jeans, and I’m already late.”

He was not the polite type— cussed like a sailor when he was mad. What a nightmare!

As Nelson Bunker Hunt once told a Senate panel investigating the silver market crash in the 1980's;

"Senator, I've always thought that a man who knew how much he was worth wasn't worth very much."

Obviously, Hunt was a Texan.

If this is the best David Axelrod can do to counter McCain’s very effective attacks on the messiah then Ax is a joke and Obama hasn’t got a clue. Oh yeah, if Obambi names Biden or Bayh as his running mate this argument will go right out the window, both dem senators come from very wealthy families.

I guess these people have no concept of “investment property”.

I know several people that couldn’t tell you for sure how many properties they own at this moment.

What bothers me is that this is common for our ‘public servants’...think Algore, or JFKerry. In McCain’s defense, he could have been trying to figure out how many were in HIS name, not Cindy’s or his first wife’s.

Still, it is incredibly stupid of McCain not to know something like this, or how many cars he owns, etc. It IS rather hard to relate to someone who doesn’t know how many homes he owns, or to someone who has business friends buy property for him.

MSM will probably give it way more press than Obama’s huge defeat at Saddleback.
