“Does a guy who made more than $4 million last year, just got back from vacation on a private beach in Hawaii and bought his own million-dollar mansion with the help of a convicted felon really want to get into a debate about houses? Does a guy who worries about the price of arugula and thinks regular people “cling” to guns and religion in the face of economic hardship really want to have a debate about who’s in touch with regular Americans?
“The reality is that Barack Obama’s plans to raise taxes and opposition to producing more energy here at home as gas prices skyrocket show he’s completely out of touch with the concerns of average Americans.” –McCain spokesman Brian Rogers
Can the O team be this politically incompetent?
Honestly, I just don’t see what the big deal is here.
Same story two titles. What’s up with that?
The writer had to slip in a bit o'spin there, eh? I don't know anyone outside the Obama camp who thinks McCain was even remotely serious when he made that crack.
'Yes, John McCain does own seven homes, and Tony Rezko didn't help him buy any of them.'
Houses?
Hey Obama - how many meaningful bills have you written and had passed? Maybe that committee that you head that your’re not even a member of can answer. Yea, get back to us.
Houses? House this..
Whats the old saying about people in glass houses not throwing stones? McCain has been playing slow pitch softball with this upstart up till now. I knew Obama was stupid but to get in a mudslinging contest with a documented past like his is suicidal. Maybe BO is really on the RNC payroll? lol
I suddenly have an image of him prancing in leotards.
This wasn’t a gaffe.
It was brilliant.
The gaff was opening the door to allow McCain to talk about Obama’s mansion and the sleazy way he got it.
HE’S THE RICHEST!!! NO HE’S THE RICHEST!!!! WAAAHHHH!!
McC shoud reply with an ad showing his aunt in front of her house juxtaposed with Hussein’s half-brother by his hut in Kenya and just say that the McCain family believes in taking care of its members.
McCain should also perhaps start a trust fund to send O’Bama’s half brother a monthly stipend of sufficient to live in Kenya’s economy with some minimal comfort. I would bet $100 a month would do it. He should say that it is unseemly that the brother of an American Presidential Candidate should have to live in squalor.
