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

Well, first of all, he was asked how many houses he had which could be construed as a trick question so as to be safe, he referred the reporter to his staff for an answer.

Perhaps he could have retorted, owned by me, my wife, or jointly? Owned prior to or purchased during our marriage? Houses or condominiums? Owner-occupied or other?

Rather than have his answer misconstrued or interpreted, he directed the question to his staff. You think that's a big deal?

Most people really don't.

I don't think that it's a big deal, I just think that it's comical to watch.

Is it as comical to watch as the clips of Biden saying Obama doesn't have enough experience to be President?

Yes and that just goes to show you that you should think before you speak because you never know who you will end up working alongside in life.

Just curious how do you know that Obama is avoiding his family, is there a link or something to back that up? or are you writing about his half brother in kenya? how do you know for sure that he has not wanted to help him out or already has? How well do you know his half brother? I can tell you some things Obama has achieved that are all verifiable

Edwards is a scumbag and I'm glad that his garbage was in the public eye. Goes to show he does not have any integrity, which I suspected all along. If his family can't trust him, how can we?

>>Passed legislature in Illinois to bring the cost of health care insurance down to $30 a month for families making $45k/yearly, free to those making 25k and below.<<

You can't be serious? Someone is providing health care for FREE? WHERE?

>>Worked alongside republicans to create the Earned Income Tax Credit which provided over $100 million in tax cuts.<<

In most cases the EITC is not a tax cut. You can't cut the tax of someone who pays NO TAX. What it is is a handout. I freebie. Extra money out of someone else's pocket to subsidize the favored groups income. Don't call it a tax cut when it's an income subsidy.

>>to name just a few..<<

People working and making poverty wages are considered the "favored" group?
