Honestly, I just don’t see what the big deal is here.
The pro-Obama spin in the article is palpable. Calls it a “major gaffe” by McCain. I don’t think it’s a gaffe at all. So what if he has 27 mansions. Great; it’s a sign that he is a successful person and that’s what I’m looking for in the next president. Now, if you tell me he got those homes by arranging shady preferential treatment in exchange for political favors, and made those arrangements with a now-convicted felon who was then under Federal investigation, I would NOT be looking for that kind of character in the next President. Now, who has the better character here? Problem is, you won’t hear the MSM make that connection or comparison.
The race card didn't work well enough; trying the class envy card.
