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

"That's not true today."


Um, actually, I just gave you an example from my OWN LIFE - I have first hand knowledge of this.

I know that not everyone will agree with me - and that's their right - but I just personally feel that if I'm going to be on a board on a regular basis, talking to the same people all the time - I should know their first name, and call them by their right name.

If you find a fact offensive--so be it. There was no offense intended. Being and infantry soldier is one of those MOSs that doesn't require the highest of ASVAB scores. Maybe you just didn't know.

My question was what is your DH "branch" not current job position. I'm going to guess he's a Finance Officer but that might be wrong as he could very well be another branch and simply filling a comptroller position.

You don't have to share, I was just curious. I would certainly expect a troop supporting the comptroller to have basic reading skills at the least so I'm sure your husband's experience was frustrating.

I'm lost on this part of the thread. What's wrong with referring to someone by their username?

You're offended by that? You really expect that people popping in and out should request your name before responding to your posts?

This is a debate board. I would expect a little thicker skin here.

You're not getting the point - not at all.
