Who’s the Elitist in the Presidential Race?
Aug 22nd, 2008 by nick
Barack Obama’s opponents have tried to paint him as an elitist who is out of touch with “regular Americans.” They didn’t know just how out of touch a presidential candidate could be, but it turns out they had the wrong man. John McCain is so well off that he apparently can’t remember how many houses he owns. Seriously. When asked this question by a reporter on Wednesday, McCain said, “I think — I’ll have my staff get to you.” It turns out he owns no fewer than ten homes, worth at least 13 Million dollars. I guess when you have that many assets, it would be somewhat difficult to keep track of them all. But that doesn’t sound like any “regular American” I know. It’s especially ironic that this revelation comes from the same political party that made John Kerry’s five houses an issue in the 2004 race.
