We’re trapped in the Obama campaign’s Cone of Stupidity and we can’t get out. The latest Obama ad razzes McCain for not remembering how many houses he has. (But at least he knows how many states there are.)
Wealthy elitist Senator mauls wealthy elitist Senator. Snooze.
Yahoo! News is featuring the moronic gotcha story from Politico. And VP hopeful Tim Kaine is dutifully attacking McCain’s mental competence. You want gaffes that call into question mental competence, Gov. Kaine? Hello, Sunshine. Thank you, Sioux City. I see dead people. Iran poses no serious threat. 57 states. 10,000 killed. Etc, etc. etc.
From the McCain camp:
“Does a guy who made more than $4 million last year, just got back from vacation on a private beach in Hawaii and bought his own million-dollar mansion with the help of a convicted felon really want to get into a debate about houses? Does a guy who worries about the price of arugula and thinks regular people “cling” to guns and religion in the face of economic hardship really want to have a debate about who’s in touch with regular Americans?
“The reality is that Barack Obama’s plans to raise taxes and opposition to producing more energy here at home as gas prices skyrocket show he’s completely out of touch with the concerns of average Americans.” –McCain spokesman Brian Rogers
"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus
I guess this whole attack on McCain rules out Kerry and his 5 homes as being VP.
BTW, I don’t recall Obama having a problem with Kerry’s multiple mansions. Hey, I have an idea Obabmbi, drop the phony elitist Biden from consideration for VP and put John French Keri back into consideration, That way you won’t have to be jealous of McCain’s money you will have your very own giggilo and access to all of his, er his wife’s, many mansions.
And since when was being rich a bad thing?
I think I could get used to being a beer heiress...
;^D
,
Does that in or ex clude the French Chateau???
Doesn't feel like I am....but to them I guess I am.
How many houses does Obambi’s brother George have? Not made of cardboard, I mean.
It was a Freudian slip. He was thinking of the 57 Islamic States when he said this.

Heck, right now, I’d be happy if I had a 6 pack in the ‘frig.....
Er, make that ‘fridge.....
Tell us Barry, just how did you manage to buy your Chicago mansion.
What, you couldn't afford to buy the house and the adjacent lot the property owner wanted to sell together, so you get the Rezko's to buy the lot at asking price and the magically the property owner lowers the price of the house by $300,000.00.
What, then later the Rezkos sell you 1/6th of the lot and one of the Rezko lawyer friends buys the remaining.
Yes, let's talk about homes.
Don’t get it twisted..... All politicians Republicans and Democrats alike, are fat cats, voting yes to cost-of-living raises for themselves, traveling on the people’s dime and stuffing their pockets with the oil money in their portfolios.
LOL Obama is getting desperate since his poll numbers have taken a nose-dive. He is so scared he hasn’t thought through what the consequences will be to HIM of making a big deal out of this.
And what is the difference if a person was given his education paid for by his family, versus a person who was given his education paid for by the government, or scholarships, or grants ala Barack and Michelle Obama? Or a person who worked hard to buy an expensive home, who happens to be a Republican - vs. a Democrat who did the same? Why do the Dems criticize the results a Republican gets from his/her hard work efforts to become wealthy, yet they will praise any Democrat for the same effort and find no fault with the personal wealth that Dem. gained? The double standard is disgusting! And the blind middle-class or poor sheeple are not smart enough to see that their Democrat leaders control a huge percentage of America's wealth while telling everyone else they should share their riches with the poor. The Dems play a game with them and promise them some "pie in the sky" gifts and entitlements all at cost to the taxpayers. Yet, how many Democrat elitists are willing to part with their money personally for the good of the underprivileged or minority sects without getting what is most important to them - some favorable PR or a tax break?!
Barry the “messiah”, who’s now been exposed as an ignorant amateur, is desperate.
He’s going to throw as much mud as he can at McCain and hope some of it sticks.
