Senator Obama,
I see that you are making a big deal over the fact that your Republican rival owns several pieces of property, as if it were some major scandal. But if you really want to be accurate, you should note that John McCain owns no property at all, as all those houses are under his wife and children’s names.
I also see that your surrogates are mocking McCain’s age by suggesting that he is forgetful. You can kiss the senior citizen vote goodbye right now.
Engaging in class warfare of this sort is a huge blunder, Senator Obama, especially when your own income exceeds that of 99% of Americans. Americans already know John McCain. You cannot define him, but he will define you. Your distasteful and condescending attacks just reveal that your campaign is in a state of panic. Now that you have fired the first shot, you have opened the door to the following questions:
1. How many houses can Senator Obama buy with the income generated from his book sales last year?
Answer: As many as he wants. This is America after all. Senator Obama earned $4 million last year in book sales alone, and so he should be able to comfortably purchase 7-8 homes right now.
2. How many houses can Senator Obama purchase with a crook’s help before he gets into political trouble?
Answer: One is sufficient. Rezko will not go away.
‘‘
3. How many houses has Bill Ayers plotted to blow up? (ht: Hugh Hewitt)
Answer: Only Ayers knows. One thing is for sure. Obama’s association to Ayers will be politically lethal.
‘‘
4. How many houses has China seized from elderly grandmothers in order to build the infrastructure for the Olympics?
Answer: Only China knows. What does this have to do with Obama? Senator Obama claims that the infrastructure in China is superior to our own, and he wants us to emulate communist China when it comes to infrastructure.
‘‘
5. How many houses does Senator Obama’s younger half-brother, George, own?
Answer: Zero. His shack does not qualify to be a proper home with basic necessities. The homeless here in America likely live a better life than George Obama. Should Senator Obama be obligated to help his younger brother? Certainly not, if it is not in his heart to do so. Senator Obama should be able to do whatever he wants with the $4 million in book sales that he earned last year. But what a contrasting picture emerges between the chosen one and a forgotten son.
‘‘
6. How many homes across this nation have been affected by abortion or infanticide?
Answer: Countless. Obama could have banned infanticide from taking place in Illinois hospitals, but he chose to oppose the Born Alive Infant Protection Act again and again.
‘‘
Let me offer you some advice, Senator Obama. Your campaign is failing. The only chance you have to right the ship is to admit your failures and move to the right. Admit that you were wrong to have closely associated yourself with Ayers. Admit that you were wrong to engage in shady deals with Rezko. Admit that you were wrong when you voted to oppose BAIPA. And one final tip: I urge you to select Evan Bayh to be your running mate.

Mocking McCain's wife?
McCain08 Friday, August 22nd at 12:49AM EDT (link)Why is Obama mocking McCain’s wife, Cindy? She owns the houses, not John. So where is the universal outcry for Obama attacking Cindy for real estate investments that her husband (see: pre-nup) has no knowledge or involvement in?
I am serious. The Mac campaign should be hitting back on this subject, and hitting back hard.

derfman Friday, August 22nd at 11:47AM EDT (link)So, the guy who wants to have the most powerful position in the world is stumped by a simple question. Maybe keeping up with multiple million dollar homes makes him cranky? Maybe he gets confused when their private jet hits altitude? Maybe in his marriage, they do not trust each other to share property? Maybe he ran out of fingers to count when they bought extra houses in Coronado, Phoenix and Sedona for their kids/servants? Its very complex, let the adults and hired help keep up with it. What average John doesn’t have this sort of problem. Only an out of touch one.
wow I am so glad you showed up 35 mins ago to let us all know this....well I am changing my vote for sure......pfffft....n/t

Cindy McCain is the exemplary Navy wife who transferred her skills to the political arena. Besides being in charge of family finances for the past 20 years, despite her independent wealth, she’s also had to deal with every moving van, every backed-up toilet, every malfunctioning appliance, every sniffle, every homework assignment, every parent/teacher conference, every broken heart, every veterinary appointment, etc, etc, etc.
Yes, Sen McCain fumbled on his response, but it doesn’t reflect as poorly on him as it does reveal the strength of women and men like Mrs. McCain who take on unthinkable burdens so that their spouses can serve our country to the best of their ability.

Mary P. Friday, August 22nd at 1:57PM EDT (link)If you’re gonna fight trolls, you gotta do better than that. You sound like a Democrat with all that nonsense. Just note that a successful person who has achieved the American Dream doesn’t have to keep up with their houses. What’s that got to do with it anyway? The fact that Obama only has one house, in my mind at least, makes him less qualified to be president. With his credentials and degrees he should have at least three houses. I guess he’s not that great at economics or landing a good job.
Democrats are cry-babies.
You may think it's nonsense,
Uma Richie Friday, August 22nd at 3:09PM EDT (link)but to me it is true. The more I read about Cindy McCain, the more I like her. And as good as John McCain is normally at thinking on his feet, he fell into a trap this time.

You are quite correct

As the son of a mom who did all you said and more while Dad was TDY/PCS all over the world, and the spouse of a wonderful woman that did the same sort of thing for our family during our traipsing around the world, you’re too right.
By the way, strong women who support us domestically challenged men come in all stripes and us men folk would be lost without them.
Thanks to Cindy McCain and every wife/mom who supports their man and their family.

Thank you.
Uma Richie Friday, August 22nd at 6:35PM EDT (link)SteveLA — Thanks. To be fair, I have my own Navy family to shuttle around, but I can only aspire to what Mrs. McCain has done. My greatest admiration stems from her willingness to support her husband despite the possibility that his Iraq policy (with which I wholeheartedly agree) would put her own children in harms way. That is the epitome of sacrifice.
I believe that the McCain campaign is right in treating the seven house ad as an attack on Cindy. Gloves are appropriately off.
