McCain Doesn’t Know How Many Houses He Owns

Either John McCain is an elitist or he is senile.  I really can’t see how there could be any other explanation to the fact that he does not even know how many houses he owns.  Is this really the guy we want running the government?  He can’t remember how many houses he owns!  That’s so incredibly absurd…

Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) said in an interview Wednesday that he was uncertain how many houses he and his wife, Cindy, own. 

“I think — I’ll have my staff get to you,” McCain told Politico in Las Cruces, N.M.

Like I said, either that’s the epitome of elitism, or McCain is going so senile that he can’t even remember how many houses he owns.  Either way, it’s pretty sad.  This man should never be elected to anything.

CNN has Obama’s reaction:

“Somebody asked John McCain, ‘how many houses do you have?’ and he said, ‘I’m not sure, I’ll have to check with my staff,’” said Obama at a Thursday morning campaign stop. “True quote! ‘I’m not sure, I’ll have to check with my staff.’ So they asked his staff and he said, ‘at least four.’ ‘At least four.’”

“Now think about that — I guess if you think that being rich means you gotta make five million dollars, and if you don’t know how many houses you have, then it’s not surprising that you might think the economy is fundamentally strong,” he continued. “But if you’re like me and you’ve got one house — or you were like the millions of people who are struggling right now to keep up with their mortgage so that they don’t lose their home — you might have a different perspective.”
