Maybe you should ask McCain how many Mercedes Benz's he owns. Or how many fur coats. Cindy McCain is wealthy. Obama is a millionaire. So what?

Wow, one of the most idiotic, asinine comments ever on this board; and this is a board where bee, bob and bully post regularly. That is one hell of an accomplishment.
Go out to a restaurant, ask a married person how many homes they own. I guarantee you not one will answer "I don't own one, but my husband/wife does" or "I own 1 and my husband owns our vacation home." It would be "we own 1" or whatever. To assert otherwise, as you have above is beyond delusional.
Just admit it, whether Rush or Hannity tell you to or not, McCain screw the pooch BIG TIME with his answer and wrote commercial after commercial for Obama and any 527 who wants to show just how out of touch with the average American McCain is. And while it is not relevant to McCain's ability to be President anymore than Obama's popularity is, but American politics has devolved into a popularity and personality contest, not a debate on who is the most qualified to represent the electorate as it pertains to vital issues. McCain and his campaign have spent millions ridiculing Obama for eating Argula lettuce, protein bars, drinking iced tea and working out regularly, saying those things do not represent the average American, yet here McCain has no idea how many houses he and his wife own and he's supposed to be the regular guy? He blew it on this one.
There is no honest, intellectual defense of McCain's statement any rational person can make.
