I just feel that having the ability to know the complexities of our economy, which isn't easy, means that someone should be able to track their own financial situation enough to know the number of properties they own. That particular question and answer isn't a big deal, it is just an example that he is old and slow. Given time to prepare he is fine, on the spot not so much.8/22/2008 4:40:33 PM |

Lets see, who would I want to be the leader of our country.....A war hero who spend years in a POW camp being tortured serving his country or someone who served his country by selling crack on the street corner.... yeah I think I will pick the war hero. I am glad he has 7 houses and he cashes his SS check. He has earned it more than most ever will.

L-O-FUCKING-L if you think McCain is the best choice for energy security in the future. The "Drill Here, Drill Now" mentality is one of the biggest jokes I've heard in recent history.

that doesn't make it right, though.

Good. The sooner and more severe the collapse is, the better. Maybe then we can completely shitcan it.

That's happening in either case.

1. The vast majority of his wealth comes from his beer heiress wife. I don't know how the finances work in their marraige, but I don't think it's difficult to imagine that he doesn't stay up on all the details of it. I really just don't see this as an issue at all. I think he could've answered the question better, though.
2. That said, Obama has had his fair share of slip-ups when put on the spot. I mean, think just as recently as the "above my paygrade" comment. Again, I know what he was trying to say, and in one sense don't disagree, but are you fucking serious? When you're running for President, nothing is above your paygrade. You are the #1...as in, "the buck stops here." You don't have the luxury of not making a decision on something--if it comes to you, you have to make a decision on it.

Sweet. I try not to think about how little skiing I'll be doing for the next few years.
I did fly by the Cape Hattaras lighthouse yesterday, and then flew a low level today where the first leg or two went right down the beach from Cape Lookout, up by Carolina Beach, Wrightsville Beach, and so on. 8/22/2008 7:30:12 PM |

the answer is zero.
his wife owns them.
one is a condo they provide for his wifes elderly aunt.
obama has a half brother in africa who lives in a hut and makes 1 dollar a month. why doesn't he even send that guy a 20 dollar bill and double his annual income?
bad idea to play with matches when your brother lives in straw houses 8/22/2008 7:39:06 PM |

If they are rich (and smart) then their bank account wouldn't be full of money but rather their investments would house their capital.8/22/2008 8:03:52 PM |

well made then
also, someone earlier said the clintons were worth a lot.. maybe they are now, but before him being elected they were denied for a home loan of something around $300K.. I don't know what their net worth is but it couldn't be THAT high if they were denied on something like that.
just sayin

not yet. apparently it happens, but i haven't seen it, yet.
we've gone searching for boobs over lake chelan in WA, too...we screamed overhead of a bunch of chicks sunbathing on boats, but none of them put on a show for us. Bitches--we put on a show for them.8/22/2008 9:52:29 PM |

^ I believe you are lacking morals... or you drank the kool-aid and are a blind follower who does not ask questions.
Here is some light reading for you. Please make sure you read towards the end where folks are talking about Edwards. Oh by the way, I didn't vote for our current leader ( either time ) as well in case you were wondering. I think I would actually vote for Obama if I had to chose between him and Bush.

i'm still trying to figure out why the question was asked. as in, why the fuck does it matter how many houses he owns? I'm sure someone will try and make an allusion to the housing market as of late, but the fact is, McCain aint borrowing money to buy a house, so it doesn't matter. The question was posed to make him look bad, no matter what the answer.
It's akin to asking someone "When are you going to tell your parents that you are a fag?" 8/23/2008 2:25:04 PM |

I guess the nice thing is that if McCain does win, instead of getting footage from one crappy ranch in Texas when he goes on vacation, there are a lot more options. 8/23/2008 6:34:48 PM |

uhhh, no. I'm suggesting that the question was a set up, because there was no right answer that wouldn't make him look bad. durr 8/23/2008 11:11:12 PM |
