The American Dream is owning your own home, not so many you can't recall them all, and certainly not having a house staff payroll that exceeds a quarter million dollars a year.Do we wish we had more? Sure, some do, but that's not the point - the point is, just how in touch is McCain with folks facing foreclosures and struggling to keep gas in the tank to commute to work? Not very, evidently, since he doesn't even know what kind of car he drives.It's 3 a.m., the phone rings in the White House, and McCain has to call his staff to remember who's on the other end? No thanks.I'll take Barack "One House One Spouse" Obama
Obama's not slamming McCain for having 7 homes, he's slamming McCain for being so out of touch he doesn't even know how many homes he has. He has so many he forgot to pay property taxes on one of them and almost lost it. Not because he couldn't afford the taxes, he could, he just lost track of the fact that he owned the property. When so many Americans are losing their only homes due to the economy, that's being way out of touch of what is happening to regular Americans.

I'll have no problem with McCain's 7 homes, as long as he's living full time in one of them come January!
