I don't see why there is such a fuss. If earning lesser than $5 millions is a middle class, then $300,000 dress is really a piece of cake. Perhaps the change is really coming, with high triple digit inflation coming that money will not be what it once was.

If you believe people are middle class who earn $5,000,000 a year then you better open your eyes and ears Cause there must be 98% of america living in poverty. So we better raise the minimum wage to $100 an hour . What an insult the $600 tax the president gave to the people. was enough to buy what? A new shoe, for McCains wife

McCain's $5mil answer came during the same interview event, the Saddelback Civil Forum, during which Obama stated that you become rich when you "sell 25 million books" - also in jest, reflecting host/moderator Pastor Rick Warren's own recent book sales.

We all have/had the opportunity to set and achieve our own goals, same as did McCain and Obama. I can fault only myself for not being where they are. What path did you take to reach your pinnacle? Why bemoan anyone else for their achievements?
I'd be willing to wager something else, that neither candidate got where they are by following his heart. They go there by study, investigating, evaluating, rationalizing, etc. along the way. They vote that way, too. (actually, Obama votes "present" noncommittal) more often than he votes "Yea" or "Nay" in senate).
Will you vote with knowledge of issues and candidates or because words and smiles make you feel good, that is, your heart?

That $5mil number that's being bandied about came from an answer McCain gave to a question asked by Pastor Rick Warren during the Saddleback Civil Forum. That's the same event during which Warren asked Obama what it takes to be rich, to which Obama answered, you are rich when you "sell 25 million books" - that, to reflect Warren's own recent book sales.

Similar answers to similar questions. Neither candidate meant his answer to be taken as serious beliefs.
