Absolutely no ing way that you can ignore his ignorance towards his own finances when looking at his economic plan - which he also acknowledged that he has no idea about. |
how about you read the f**king transcript and stop making up out of thin air? |

I thought there might have been something better that you'd provide. Regardless of platform, I can appreciate a good debate. What you linked didn't prove your point at all. |

This is another case of McCain having a "senior moment," but when Obama s up it's because he's "spent 16 hours a day on the campaign trail" and can't be expected to be perfect. This statement from McCain's spokesman says it all:
"Does a guy 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? Does a guy who worries about the price of arugula and thinks regular people “cling” to guns and religion in the face of economic hardship really want to have a debate about who’s in touch with regular Americans?" |

well what the hell is your point then? because you should know now that he actually "knows", it's just complicated. |

Just out of curiousity, who thinks that arugula is an elitist veggie? It might be regional, but seriously, are you ing people joking? McCain owns 7+ homes and you're talking about a salad ingredient that Obama uses that may cost $1 more than romaine (aka lettuce)? |

I think that by now we've all heard the soundbite that you provided. I was, for debate's sake, hoping that you'd actually provide something interesting. |

That was from McCain's spokesman, not me. And, McCain doesn't own 7+ homes. Read for proper context please:
"The McCains have a pre-nuptial agreement that separates their finances. The “homes”, as Barack Obama and his campaign put it, are mostly investment properties in Cindy McCain’s trust. Since John McCain has no involvement in his wife’s business affairs, he would have little knowledge of the assets in her portfolio.
Of course, a couple of these aren’t investment properties. Cindy bought a condo for their daughter, for instance, and she purchased another in La Jolla for an elderly aunt whom she supports. The McCains live primarily in a 6600-square-foot condo in Phoenix and a three-bedroom condo in Arlington when Congress is in session. They also have a Sedona ranch that again is part of Cindy’s portfolio.
No doubt, McCain’s clumsy answer gave Obama room to poke fun at him as rich and out of touch at the same time. However, McCain himself doesn’t own any property and isn’t “rich”, and Cindy and her family earned their money honestly. |
