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

So you believe anyone making less that $250,000 a year is poor?
She described behaviors. I didn't see any name calling. Likewise she said "most", not all.
If you are two college educated people who made good choices then you shouldn't be poor. Maybe that college education was a bad investment if that is the result?
Or did you misread what she said? She was talking about people who were poor, not only those in Obama's tax break plan.
Sounds like a bunch of generalizations to me. McCain married into wealth and others are born into wealth, I have a friend in AZ
My bad, I assumed you meant Biden with the following statement:
"I read somewhere he has hair plugs and extentions.
I do not understand WHY people think the McCains have so much integrity and class????
Let's look at this: Cindy McCain has claimed she is an only child, when that is not true: Her father had two other children from his FIRST marriage. Also, she was such a severe drug addict in the 80's and 90's that she stole drugs and money from her own agency!
How can that be called integrity?
For all the Obama bashers out there: Do some research on HIS website. Don't believe the ads. The Republicans only have FEAR mongering to stand on and they want everyone to be scared. Hope is always better than fear.
There is nothing wrong with inspiring hope in people. Lincoln did. Kennedy did. And they are regarded as some the best presidents we've ever had!
Think about this: The Iraq war is
Actually, she said that people who aren't rich
Silly you.
It is Obama she is referring to. Apparently she has read somewhere that he has hair extensions and plugs, this is a sign of vanity and shows a lack of character. Palin is free to color her hair and wear make up to enhance her apearance because doing so is not an indication of vanity for her, in fact anyone who thinks so is just jealous.
And she isnt sexist, in case you thought that.
You had better educate yourself on Obama then. You don't have to make a million dollars a year to be considered "rich" under Obama's proposed policy. He says he will tax those making $250,000 or more per year. However, EVERY single economist that has looked at his policy said that he would realistically have to tax those making $75,000 a year to pay for the welfare programs he wants to implement. Bottom line, there are not enough people making $250,000 per year and up to tax so he would need to lower his assessment of who is rich.
Unbelievable that you would advocate any programs that take from those people who have worked hard all of their lives. I worked incredibly hard for everything I have. Nobody ever gave me anything. I give generously to charity and volunteer routinely. I do not, however, think the government has any right to tell me I am too rich and take some of my money away from me to pay for others.

Ummmm, which economist(s)?
I'd like to see where you're getting your information from.
