- fleetadmiralj, on 08/21/2008, -33/+567But, of course, Obama is the elitist.
- fleetadmiralj, on 08/21/2008, -25/+424@LoneRanger - I have no real problem with him owning several houses. However, I do have problems with:
1) Him owning several houses yet calling Obama an elitist, when clearly, if anyone is, it's McCain
2) Not even knowing how many houses he owns. Talk about aloof and out of touch.
3) Supports positions - especially tax cuts - which pretty much favor him the most of anyone (unlike Obama, who would raise his own taxes) - fantanel, on 08/21/2008, -29/+390Obama goes to university on student loans, pays them off, goes on to congress and is elected President. That is an American Dream story.
McCain marries a rich beer heiress and goes senile and forgets how many houses he owns. He will NOT get the White House. - trillions, on 08/21/2008, -20/+334"Now...where did i leave that house? Oh, in my HUGE wallet!"
- fantanel, on 08/21/2008, -23/+335"I'll have my staff get to you about the mortgage crisis thing."
- AxmxZ, on 08/21/2008, -19/+193And don't even ask him about the servants. They are truly legion.
- JohnCampanelli, on 08/21/2008, -17/+171Like an SAT question:
John McCain is to houses
as Imelda Marcos is to shoes. - ctlr, on 08/21/2008, -14/+161Some 20-something staffer just got a new assignment: "quick, find out how many houses the boss owns!"
- Rotzooi, on 08/21/2008, -14/+133But... but... Obama eats arugula!
- inactive, on 08/21/2008, -15/+119This man is a joke. How can you not know how many houses you own?
This guy is well under average for a regular guy, let alone a Presidential candidate. Insanity. - inactive, on 08/21/2008, -22/+112What a ***** *****. I hate that ***** with every fiber of my being. Every time John McCain says “my friends” I wanna punch him.
- Andrej73, on 08/21/2008, -23/+110poor senile old man
- inactive, on 08/21/2008, -19/+105What this really shows is that the man is a complete puppet, not just in his Presidential speeches, but also as a human being. He doesn't even manage his own life. He is completely handled in every aspect of his life. A complete puppet.
- HumanTon, on 08/21/2008, -16/+95You can't expect a man to keep track of how many houses he has! Why, next thing you'll be demanding he keep track of his servants ... or mistresses.
- jimbecile, on 08/21/2008, -12/+88It's not about envy or hate- it's about the absurdity of this man claiming Obama is somehow an elitist because he doesn't start the day with a microwaved sausage biscuit and a shot of moonshine. The kid with the single mom who had to work for a living vs. the guy who cheated on his wife with a millionaire heiress, used her money to get into congress, and never looked back. Which one sounds like he can understand how most Americans live?
- andypop481, on 08/21/2008, -9/+84No he just walks around in $400 loafers, owns several houses he himself can't count, and calls his opponent an elitist.
- inactive, on 08/21/2008, -9/+83Its allright McCain, I forgot how many homes I own too...
oh wait... its Zero - fantanel, on 08/21/2008, -20/+94McCain is seriously out of touch with the middle class and himself. No one envies John McCain.
- aimhelix, on 08/21/2008, -26/+100What a ***** tool. I hate this man. That is my personal opinion.
- stayputnik, on 08/21/2008, -8/+77i love how the right have turned good things into bad... elite means really good, and intellectual means smart (oversimplified, i know), but the righties have turned them into dirty words. they're playing into the inadequacies of the "common folk" to make them think that obama, who truly came from humble beginnings, thinks he's better than them. it's the most back-assward thing i've ever heard.
- PhilliesBlunt, on 08/21/2008, -10/+72God damn right they are! Cuz if Obama loses, we're stuck with McCain after 8 years of bush.
- forthewin11, on 08/21/2008, -18/+79"I own 10 houses but I can't count them," -McCain
There's your elitist right there. - Icetype, on 08/21/2008, -16/+76You know how many homes I know? With my college degree and good job? Zero. ***** this *****.
- merlin484, on 08/21/2008, -8/+67"I'll have my staff get to you about the ex wife thing"
- DarkPrincess74, on 08/21/2008, -10/+67Not to mention cheating on his wife to marry the beer heiress who was many years younger than him plus the allegations of an affair with a campaign staffer in the past. He's a really great guy, kind of a model for our youth.
- TheSwashbuckler, on 08/21/2008, -13/+67But he understands middle America?
Puhleez!!! - andypop481, on 08/21/2008, -5/+57Its a ***** joke you dumb ass.
- niradg, on 08/21/2008, -9/+60I guess the American dream involves leaving your wife for an heiress so you can live the good life without having to earn it.
- Niloc, on 08/21/2008, -5/+54Man I wish I was so rich that I owned so many houses I couldn't keep track....
- uberdeutsch72, on 08/21/2008, -9/+56"Americans are so worried that McCain is going to win, it's hilarious." - There, I fixed it for ya.
- onyxcoltrane, on 08/21/2008, -12/+60What's the big deal? I don't know how many pairs of socks I own. Oh, wait a second......
- ncc74656m, on 08/21/2008, -16/+58Read the title and went "Gotta be the Onion."
How sad it is that this is real. - stayputnik, on 08/21/2008, -8/+47A) he's not the messiah...
B) he's not going to lose.
C) if he does, all the blue states will defect... i refuse to leave the country, but i refuse to suffer through another bush presidency. - seantubridy, on 08/21/2008, -29/+68I hate this man. I just hate him.
- sb66, on 08/21/2008, -8/+46Talk about out of touch with the average american. Wow.
- inactive, on 08/21/2008, -11/+48What's wrong with McCain? He's a ***** idiot, that's what's wrong with him.
- EarlOfLade, on 08/21/2008, -3/+40Like McCain is not milking his POW stint as if it was virgin milk and to be enjoyed with black troufles
I am so sick and tired of listening to how great American this idiot is. It's almost like he wants us to think he was the only one.
McCain is an empty shell! - Echota, on 01/05/2009, -21/+56Lol!
Give him a break,he's been a senior citizen for a lot of years now!
Wait! The media gives him enough breaks already!
Elitist old fart! - empirefalling, on 08/21/2008, -9/+43You are not alone brother.
- jdenzer, on 08/21/2008, -5/+36So when McCain attacks Obama's patriotism and the right praise McCain's POW and use it to excuse his marital affairs. That counts as elitist, right.
I am a veteran of first Gulf War, but I don't go around acting like I am better that people b/c I served.
McCain I am a POW Vet. So I am more patriotic and better that you. - PhilliesBlunt, on 08/21/2008, -1/+32I'd short the count and steal one of the houses.
- DarkPrincess74, on 08/21/2008, -7/+37Is he?
1.) Well he did successfully cheat on his wife to marry a rich younger woman.
2.) He has been successful thus far to ignoring any promises he made about how he'd run his campaign.
3.) He's been successful at criticizing other politicians for things he does on a regular basis.
4.) He is successful at mimicking the failed Bush policies for his campaign.
5.) He's successfully demonstrated his age will be a problem for him running the country.
6.) He successfully missed a vote in congress to rescind tax breaks to big oil which failed by one vote.
7.) Though he hasn't been successful about getting enough naps. He'd be successful all the way if we let him have more free time to take naps. - ModernDayDarwin, on 08/21/2008, -7/+36McCain married someone that inherited a fortune. I would much prefer someone that can actually relate to what I have in my life. i.e. things I actually worked hard for, and probably saved hard for.
- DarkPrincess74, on 08/21/2008, -3/+32In the case of the election people that care about elitism don't care about what elitism means they just don't like someone who is out of touch with their lifestyle. Owning more houses than you know about certainly is inconsistent with most people. Though McCain is certainly never inconsistent. /sarcasm
- Lust4Me, on 08/21/2008, -2/+30No no...he thought they said SPOUSES. Of course he knows how many houses he has.
- WasabiBomb, on 08/21/2008, -8/+36Sure, if the job qualification for Presidents consisted of "leaving your wife for an heiress".
Obama made his money himself, through the sales of his books and his own hard work. McCain lives off of his wife.
I'd rather have the President who made his own money, thanks. - inactive, on 08/21/2008, -5/+33McCain's an idiot.
He thinks Czechoslovakia is still a country.
He thinks Iraq was the first major conflict after 9/11.
He's stated on numerous occasions that Al-Qaeda is getting training from Iran.
He doesn't know the difference between Sunni and Shi'ites.
He doesn't know how many houses he owns. - PhilliesBlunt, on 08/21/2008, -1/+29You can buy houses in packs of 6?
- Muzikal203, on 08/21/2008, -6/+32I'm surprised his lackey LIEberman wasn't there to stage-whisper the answer in his ear.
