Obama raps McCain for ignorance of his own houses
WASHINGTON - John McCain may have created his own housing crisis.
Hours after a report that the Republican presidential nominee-in-waiting didn't know how many homes he and his multimillionaire wife own, Democratic rival Barack Obama launched a national TV ad and a series of campaign stops aimed at portraying McCain as wealthy and out of touch.
With the economy the top issue in the race, Obama sought to turn McCain's gaffe into one of those symbolic moments that stick in voters' minds

You honestly think someone with a Senator's schedule has time to manage his personal investments and you find it odd that he might have assistants or advisers to do that for him? Can you not imagine his schedule?
I have more understanding for McCain's situation than Edwards or Clinton
But you have no problem going on about Obama and how he purported treats a half-brother he's met one or twice in his life, because that IS the sort of issue we should really be concerned about??

My , my, my he's time as a POW made him cheat?? PLEASE!!! There are men who have spent the last 7 years in and of Iraq(and Afghanistan)
Oh me oh my.....seems like Mr. McCain sure stuck his foot in it. It's interesting to watch all the excuses for why he didn't know how many homes he has.

I have to respectfully disagree with you. I
I don't get why people who live in glasses throw stones. Obama owns several homes as well. Why did he make this an issue? It doesn't make sence. Obama is rich compared to MANY Americans, as well as is McCain. Whats the big deal? They are both living the American dream. Should we punish either one for having money and spending it? NO! Heck, I know several people who are not rich but invest in properties around the area. My friend is a landlord to several families. I asked her how many homes they own and manage. She said she would have to look through her books to get the exact count. I was not offended by that, I thought she was a pretty good business person to be able to keep up with this line of work in this economy.
I say good job to both of them for being able to afford their life style, now get back to the real issues and stop being petty, both sides!
