You don't know how many houses you own haha

Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) said in an interview Wednesday that he was uncertain how many houses he and his wife, Cindy, own.

"I think — I'll have my staff get to you," McCain told Politico in Las Cruces, N.M. "It's condominiums where — I'll have them get to you."

The correct answer is at least four, located in Arizona, California and Virginia, according to his staff. Newsweek estimated this summer that the couple owns at least seven properties.

Or...

McCain initially told Pastor Rick Warren during a faith forum on Sunday his threshold for considering someone rich is $5 million — a careless comment he quickly corrected.

I am sure someone on his staff told him that comment didn't play well to the unwashed and he softened and redefined his answer but his initial comment says it all I think. Remember, this is a guy who when asked during the primaries did not know the price of a gallon of gasoline.

The fact he remembers that he HAS houses is probably a miracle. He is very spacey and undecisive.

He definitely is an elitist. He is part of the party that believes all poor people are that way because of themselves. They believe that the poor and middle class struggle is just a way for them to milk the system.

He will definitely finish the flush of this country that Bush started if he gets into office.

This is hilarious: The guy who makes the phony-baloney charge that Barack Obama is elitist can't remember how many houses he owns! He tells reporters: "I'll have my staff get the number and get back to you"!!!

It is four? Is it six? Is it 11? Do we count only those houses McCain lives in, properties he and his wife own and can hang out in, or all of them? Do you know how many houses you own? If not, ask your staff!

What a guy, this McCain. He puts on his $500 shoes, with over $100 million of assets (speaking of first wives, and second wives, I might add -- for those interested in double standards after the John Edwards case -- that this $100 million was not earned income by McCain, you understand).

The guy with so many houses he can't count them, the $500 dollar shoes and the $100 million of assets that are not earned income -- this guy calls Obama an elitist?! Obama, who grew up in a single-parent home, worked his way through law school, earned his success the old-fashioned way, and worked with churches to help jobless workers find jobs?

What a class act, this guy who launches cheap-shot personal attacks against Obama; who is so out of touch he can't remember how many homes he owns.

Anybody check his shoe closet recently?
