You folks should be ashamed about how you're treating McCain and his 10 + houses. Don't you all know he was a POW!?!?!? I mean really!

They have. His response -- But I was a POW! Speaking to the Washington Post, aide Brian Rogers, in full damage-control mode, acknowledged that his boss had "some investment properties and stuff," but added: "This is a guy who lived in one house for five and a half years -- in prison." http://voices.washingtonpost.com/the-trail/2008/08/21/mccain_spokesmans_retort_obama.html#more
I thought you were joking about the POW justification. I think the media should check and see if all those other "investment properties" are actually rented out and McCain and wife never stay at them. They should compare values of Obama's alleged "frickin mansion" with some of McCain's properties.
I think pointing out that an elitist like John McCain is obviously completely out of touch with the economic struggles that millions of Americans are going through is an issue. But if McCain and his ilk can go back on their word to have an election about the issues, then so can Obama.
Yup, if having a lot of money makes you an elitist, then what about Obama's 4+ million a year income? Does that make him a slightly less of a elitist than McCain?
According to McCain, he's middle class or upper-middle class. To be rich, you have to make $5MM a year.
Considering that he's not sitting on a multi-hundred million dollar inherited fortune - it makes him several times less well-off. Did you not know this?
4+ million income isn't exactly your average American. I don't see how not remember how many houses he owns or the fact he owns multiple houses makes him an elitist, that's my point. Let's faces it, none of them are exactly worrying about paying the bills.
