- Lucas123, on 09/30/2008, -9/+53It's good to know some Americans aren't worried about their homes being foreclosed on.
- ScottMitchell, on 09/30/2008, -4/+43They're selling this about two years too late. Probably could have scored another million on the sale in 2005 or 2006 than what they'll get today.
- AdeleMor, on 09/30/2008, -7/+45If Obama needs to get down in the dirt with McCain's dirty election tactics, the stats on this property would be some great mud to sling:
"The home features 15,000 sq. ft., 13 bedrooms, 14.5 baths and 7 car garage."
HAHHHHHH - basye, on 09/30/2008, -3/+3315,000 square feet? Holy *****, that's a lot of space to forget!
- Haoie, on 09/30/2008, -5/+33Who's elite now?
- ElvisNixon, on 09/30/2008, -3/+30Some Americans were smart and didn't buy something they could never afford.
- BoneStamp, on 09/30/2008, -1/+24He's just like me! I put mine up for sale today too.
- kcb2, on 09/30/2008, -0/+21"He" didn't. His wife is an heiress to a fortune from a beer distributorship (Anheuser-Busch)
- leerayIG88, on 09/30/2008, -2/+22I live in a 5ft by 9ft cave. I win!!
- waylander632, on 09/30/2008, -1/+14Yeah, I know I would buy it if I had the money. All I can afford is a crappy LeBaron that used to belong to Jon Voight.
- agsinger, on 09/30/2008, -0/+13you'd have to get the smell of old people out of the house before you could live in it
- serif69, on 09/30/2008, -1/+12Title is inaccurate. "Former home" tells me they haven't owned it for a while, especially considering it's been remodeled since they moved out. The seller is trying to capitalize on the name.
- b9gh47q, on 09/30/2008, -3/+14That place is stunning. John McCain really can't pretend he's in touch with reality though...
- inactive, on 09/30/2008, -1/+11"former home" Doesn't that imply that they don't currently own it? Or is it just ***** use of English?
- JohnDavis730, on 09/30/2008, -3/+13now i know that mccain called obama an elitist and blah blah blah, but why mock someone for having a nice home that he can afford?
- BigDigg55, on 09/30/2008, -1/+10You guys just don't get it. A person running for President who wants to identify with the people would not have this house, but John McCain is a maverick. Not being mavericks yourselves you simply cannot understand.
- EtherGnat, on 09/30/2008, -0/+8Where is it "widely" reported? Perhaps you should listen to news other than Limbaugh and Hannity.
There have been several allegations made about Obama's property, all of them false: http://www.factcheck.org/elections-2008/rezko_real ...
Besides, how is that even a bad thing? I'd love a President who can negotiate better deals... or perhaps I misunderstood and you were trying to compliment Obama. - sockpuppets, on 09/30/2008, -1/+9Osama?
- metapop, on 09/30/2008, -2/+10God help us all if that's the case. More specifically- God help you all, I'll be in another country.
- Bith8654, on 10/01/2008, -0/+8"struggling through a military academy and institution that rejects financially sound white men"
Sorry but no one rejects financially sound white men... - mythicflux, on 09/30/2008, -1/+9John McCain is in touch with reality. It's just a very special reality... that he made up.
- shauncullen, on 09/30/2008, -1/+8These are tough times and everyone needs to make sacrifices, even John McCain. It must be very difficult for him to sell his humble home.
- twinklyJesus, on 09/30/2008, -0/+7Um, Arizona is not "Heartland America". You fail at geogrraphy
- Faulk28, on 09/30/2008, -7/+14Digg here if you think this is political propaganda.
- juneof44, on 09/30/2008, -0/+7Is this the house that has the direct portal to hell?
- dumaitbjimmy, on 09/30/2008, -4/+11IT'S OVER 9000!
- kcb2, on 09/30/2008, -2/+9Former HOME - he only has one home, but many houses. You probably only have one house, so you wouldn't understand
/sarcasm - inactive, on 09/30/2008, -0/+7Obama is 1337.
- Culero, on 09/30/2008, -0/+6Thats a nice n cozy home.
- IvanB, on 09/30/2008, -1/+7Don't forget the 2.7 acre estate lot! :o
- fuzzlog, on 09/30/2008, -1/+7No one knows for sure. He doesn't even know himself.
- weebs, on 09/30/2008, -1/+7Why is this news? This digg spam about McCain's spending habits (apparently wealthy families aren't supposed to spend their money into the economy that's dying). We should be more worried about keeping this clown out of office than picking apart every dime he drops.
- briLo, on 09/30/2008, -1/+7You can add up every house I"ve lived in and it's nowhere near the size of that!!!!!
Is it to late to sign up to be the pool boy and bang Cindy everyday?? - D3koy, on 09/30/2008, -0/+6English clearly isn't your strong suit either.
- infinitus64, on 10/01/2008, -1/+6I Think it is because he owns more than one of these homes and people are starving to death along with not having clean water , shelter etc.
- AdmiralHalsey, on 10/01/2008, -0/+5I'm not a homeowner, but I am in the business as a carpenter. I've been watching a lot of this happening on-site as realtors are displaying the properties to the potential buyers over the past 6 years. While everyone who says these people are ***** morons are right, there's a bit more to the story. Some people were sharked into it by listening to their realtors explicit advice that this was a feasible move with their income, "and in fact, with the market this would be a solid asset that's pretty much guaranteed to increase your worth." Sadly not everyone is intelligent enough to sort through all the documents, so they listen to the advice of the 'professionals' and trust them. People are ***** stupid, but some of those stupid people got lied to and taken advantage of. You should have seen how these people were cutting deals.
By the way, is there anything McCain wouldn't do if he thought there was political gain to be had? I bet you he would literally cut off his own nuts to win this election. Stinks of desperation. I plead with you, vote for anyone else. Don't vote this disaster into office. With his female less intelligent protege this could deliver the final blows to our currently weak ass country. - wukillabee, on 09/30/2008, -2/+7Where did he get all that money to buy like 14 houses?
- DigitAl56K, on 09/30/2008, -2/+7Don't tell me he's going to play the "See, I'm affected by the economy too!" card.
How many other houses does he have? - deweyhewson, on 09/30/2008, -1/+6There is nothing wrong with having an "admiral daddy", UNLESS it is directly because of your "admiral daddy" that you get promoted how McCain did.
He was a screw-up military man and a lousy pilot. I admire how he acted as a POW, but there are many POWs, and it is really no qualification for leading America.
If you study McCain's personal life, he really seems like quite the lout and money-grubber. Personally, I don't care if he has a towhome or 20 mansions. You'd be hard pressed to find any powerful politician since Lincoln that wasn't born into some measure of privilege.
What I DO care about is whether he tries to pin others (Obama) as being elitist, or tries to claim he can relate to or cares about the troubles of average America. The fact is, he can't. McCain is part of the Old Guard that will fight for military spending, socialism for the rich, increase in executive power, and imperialism abroad.
That is NOT what America needs. - jstreveln, on 09/30/2008, -2/+6yea kinda speaks to his economic savey.....or lack there of
- inactive, on 09/30/2008, -3/+7Come on! Never question a POW!
- ngmcs8203, on 09/30/2008, -0/+4"White on white racism"? That sounds kinky.
- PhYk3n, on 10/01/2008, -4/+8Yeah your mother sold for 5$ last night.
- kcb2, on 09/30/2008, -1/+5I predict he makes some statement like "I'm cutting back in these tough economic times"
- dragon76, on 09/30/2008, -2/+6No, those Americans just have their she-devil wives buy it FOR them.
- SmartfulDodger, on 09/30/2008, -0/+4Like one of his Rascal scooters?
- tbb9216, on 10/01/2008, -0/+4Does he know which one?
- bbtweb, on 10/01/2008, -0/+4yup and he still has 6 more...
- flailking, on 09/30/2008, -0/+4I wanna call Troll...but having trouble...Is this guy for real?
- jhuckabee, on 09/30/2008, -1/+5Wow. 13 bedrooms? Seriously, who needs a house that size? And this is just one of his 12?
