Exactly how many homes does McCain own?

They're attacking him on this one. I just got this email from his campaign:

If somebody asked you, you probably wouldn't have to think about it.

But when a reporter asked John McCain how many houses he owns, he stumbled and said, "I think -- I'll have my staff get to you."

If you're like the millions of people who are struggling to keep up with their mortgage, you might have a different perspective.

Not only does John McCain have trouble keeping track of all his houses, he looks at record gas prices and a crippling foreclosure crisis and thinks the economy is fundamentally "strong." And last weekend he said anyone making less than $5 million a year isn't rich.

This is the side of John McCain his campaign wants to hide.

So yesterday, we launched a TV ad to show everyone how out-of-touch John McCain is with the economic realities of regular Americans.

But if we're going to get the truth out, it's going to take all of us working together to make it happen.

Watch the ad and write a letter to your local newspaper exposing the real John McCain:

Watch the TV ad

The more we hear from John McCain about the economy, the more we see just how out-of-touch he is.

You don't have to be an economist to understand that we can't afford eight more years, or four more years, or even one more year of the same failed economic policies that George Bush has put in place.

Now we need your help to make sure the word gets out.

Watch our ad now and write a letter to your local papers:

If John McCain understood what Americans are dealing with, he'd know that we need to be doing more.

Barack has a plan to cut taxes for middle class families by $1,000 and offer students who perform community service a $4,000 tax break to pay for college tuition. But John McCain's tax plan does nothing for 101 million middle class families.

Barack will set the minimum wage to rise with inflation. But John McCain is more concerned about making sure limits on campaign contributions rise with inflation -- and he's voted against raising the minimum wage 19 times.

That's a difference that should be easy to remember.

Thanks for your help,

David

It's pretty scary to me having someone run the country while not even knowing what car he drives or how many houses he owns. He might forget what diplomacy is and end up ordering a nuke drop Miami when after Cuba.

:rolleyes:

ask yourself this: if you had more than a few million (say 15-20 mill total), would you know how many houses you owned? probably not, as more than likely, most people would have someone investing that money for them. and part of that investment would be in real estate, no?

### backwards logic aside, who the hell can't remember how many houses they have, besides a rich a-holes?

This guy should just retire and enjoy the rest of his life.

Think he can remember there's a budget, or other things that one should know? I see this as a prevailing necessity in a President, being able to remember things. It's bad enough citizens have bad memories (which is why so many are stuck in Demo-Repub world), but I don't think Presidents should.

you don't really think the president just throws money around without congressional oversight and approval do you?

Do you mean the rubber stamp Republican Congress for most of the Bush presidency or the make-statements-and-not-follow-through Democrats who gave him what he wanted anyways? Doesn't seem much like oversight to me.

so who's fault is it really then? the president or the blank check senate?

Well, since the focus here is on a Presidential candidate, his fault matters most at the time being.

Sammy Jankis 2008.

that's rather narrow, isn't it?

Given it's both their faults, and I can't vote against the entire Senate (just Barbara Boxer, the Senator representing my area of California, who's voted almost entirely my way), gotta do one at a time, right?

However, in 2010, I will likely be voting Socialist or Peace and Freedom when her time is up. She's been too much "party line" to win my favor.

Depends on if you only count Republicans and Democrats.

Being that I don't, I'd say plenty.

I don't see what this has to do with McCain not being able to remember something like how many houses he has.
