McCain Unsure How Many Houses He Owns »

Posted By TimALoftis 10 months, 2 weeks ago in News

1 of 1

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." His staff is reporting at least four. Newsweek is claiming seven and McCain does not even know.

    amazing...if this had been asked during a live debate with 40 million people/voters watching and McCain's response was 'I don't Know...I will get back with you...his candidacy would be in some deep trouble.

    What I meant to say was a person worth only 4-1/2 million could be
    considered rich, IF they had traditional VALUES. - LOL - Good cover, John!

    Only little tiny people (who can scarcely be called Americans), have just ONE house.

    How the heck can you LOVE America if you can't jet up to Aspen and sit in front of a roaring fire in your skii lodge? What truth is there in 'the purple mountain majesties' if you don't have a hunting lodge somewhere high and lonely?

    How can you SAY you love America from coast to coast, if you don't own a beach house in malibu AND a cute little getaway in Martha's Vinyard?

    Anyone who doesn't have a condo in NY, doesn't love NY.

    Let's sing it together, -

    This land is your land, this land is my land,
    I own N houses, and an island;
    I own a lear jet, I have no regret,
    Cindy bought it for me mortgage free.

    If you pay mortgage, and face forclosure,
    In your old age, 'cause your broke sir;
    I feel your pain, though,
    inside my limo,
    This hand was dealt to you not me.

    This land is your land, this land is my land,
    It's just more my land, than it is your land,

        Maybe he could use the internet to find the answer to that question.

        This is one of MANY questions that would like to see John McCain answer in a debate. Some of the other....

        1) have you every had an affair while you have been married to Cindy?

        2) If you were in the Navy for 22 years and have been in Congress for 24 years why do you know so little about domestic issues?

        3) If you believe that life begins at conception, how can you support stem cell research?

        4) when was the last time that you or your wife went into a grocery store besides for a photo-op?

        I think these question would do WONDERS to project the REAL John McCain!

        Maybe it was nothing more than a 'Senior' moment...but its true, the average person to include the average rich guy would know the number of homes that they own. Senator McCain gave the worst possible answer. John McCain can only be thankful that this interview was not on video tape. I would think Politico has a audio though.

        “Does a guy (Obama) who made more than $4 million last year, just got back from vacation on a private beach in Hawaii and bought his own million-dollar mansion with the help of a convicted felon really want to get into a debate about houses?”

        The convicted felon referred to here is Tony Rezko, who played a role in helping Obama expand the $1.65 million mansion Obama purchased $300,000 below the list price on Chicago’s South Side in 2005. Rezko's sister, Rita, coincidentally purchased land adjacent to the Obama's property on the same day, at the full list price, and later sold a parcel of it to the Obama's which made the Obama's yard bigger.

        Before Obama bought the house he had assisted Rezko in securing millions of tax dollars for housing developments as an Illinois state legislator.

        Rezko was convicted on 16 of 24 federal corruption counts earlier this year. The charges were unrelated to Obama, but drew attention to Obama’s cozy relationship with the felon. Obama told the press his decision to become involved with Rezko “a boneheaded move.”

        Going after McCain on this is a boneheaded move as well.

        And Obama believes there are 57 states in the USA. So, what we have here are two complete idiots.
        What a great choice we have for president!

        first john doesn't know how many houses they have. and then cindy doesn't even know how many siblings she has.

        Cindy has said time and again that she is an only child. but she's not. she has a half sister.

        cindy's father left cindy's mother for another woman (just like how john left his first wife for cindy). together, they had a daughter, who is Cindy McCain's sister.

        yet cindy mccain denies her existence. why?

        At a time when people in this country are losing their ONLY home, this elitist can't even tell us how many homes he owns. At a time when his sister in law Kathleen Hensley Portalski., whose husband is an out of work fireman and EMT, yet he touts his lack of knowledge about how many homes he owns.

        Even worse, is the fact that so many people on here begrudge the fact that Obama and his wife have worked hard enough to have ONE home, and call him an elitist, while thinking that McCain should get a free pass because he has worked hard! EGAD! I doubt that anyone gave Barack and his wife anything, not so for old McCain. He made sure he got what he thought was coming to him, at the expense of his first wife and children. I wonder how many homes Carol McCain owns!! I bet she doesn't have any trouble counting to ONE!

        For those of you who want to beleive that Obama did not say there are 57 states then watch him say it (loud and clear) on this video link at yuotube. Actually, if you add it all up, I think he's saying there are 60 states. Watch this, it's way to funny. What a freaking MORON he is, and you thought Bush was stupid, this one takes the cake!

        I don't beleive what I posted is off topic.
        This thread is about our presidential candidate JOHN McCain SAYING A STUPID THING. What I posted is about our other dumb azz candidate Obama, saying a really stupid thing. Besides, I'll bet ya if I did submit the Obama story, it would not be posted here. Or the story has already been submitted and was never posted the first time for more then a couple minutes at most.

        And the cons label Obama as elitest. Once again it shows the republican dictionary does not contain the word hipocrite.

          Who cares how many houses he owns?

          However, the question of him being unsure is a different matter altogether. It suggests one of the following:

          1. He does not take care of his personal finances; others do it for him. This means the man probably is not able to be a capable President on the economic front.

          2. He forgot. This suggests he has issues with remembering things as simple as how many houses you own.

            1. It's called delegation. It's part of a president's job.
            2. He had to think about it due to pre-nup agreement.
            Obama can't even remember how many states there are.
            Obama bought his house with dirty money.
            Your point?

            November 4th is going to be a loooooonnnnnng night for Barry if he thinks this is going to help his poll numbers.
            Obama is wealthy. He has done NOTHING for this country, but yet he just took a vacation to Hawaii like he's a jet setting billionaire.
            So I'm supposed to take him seriously because he wants me to be bothered by McCain owning too many houses??
            Does Obama think Americans are stupid?? He must. It just might be why he talked to Germany instead of us.
            Barry owns a million dollar home bought with dirty money.
            At least McCain remembers how many states there are.

            Oh, Barry talks to Americans all right. Here is one example. Please note the references to security because of comments made on faux noise.

              Only going to make one comment on this thread....
              I think McCain has no idea how many holdings he and his wife may have at this point in time. His wife very well could own several properties John McCain knows nothing about from a day to day point of view. If he had said..." I own three houses." and it turned out that via his wifes holdings it was more there would still be a firestorm.
