McCain's Mega-Gaffe: He Doesn't Know How Many Houses He Owns
Today has been a wonderful day for the Obama campaign. First they nail down a podium debate, then they get a fabulous gift from John McCain. The kind of gaffe that can really destroy a candidate's image with the public, making them appear (dare we say it?) elitist and out of touch.
In an interview with Politico, McCain stumbled on the question of how many houses he owns:
What the F is this? How do you not know how many houses you own? I know how many I own -- zero. Because houses in L.A. have become too damn expensive for even a young urban professional with higher-than-average income to afford one.
The McCain's have put more debt on just one of their credit cards in a single month, $500,000, than the average American takes home in ten years. We already know they own a private jet, that Cindy McCain bought Fast & the Furious-style drift cars while living in Japan, that John McCain wears $500 shoes. We also know that they have so many houses, they forgot to pay the property taxes on one of them.
But it really comes as a shock that neither John McCain nor his wife know how many houses they own. Cindy McCain once said that they owned 8 or 9 houses. And now, months later, after labeling Mr. One House Obama as an elitist, John McCain says he'll have to check with his staff to pin down how many homes he owns.
Listen to the audio:
No wonder this guy would be such great buddies with Phil "Nation of Whiners" Gramm. Or that he would claim some billionaires are "poor", or that someone making only $4.9 million per year is middle class.
John McCain really is out of touch. And with this huge gaffe, expect the American people to know it.
In an interview with Politico, McCain stumbled on the question of how many houses he owns:
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. "It's condominiums where — I'll have them get to you."

Why would the Obama jump on this? This only opens the door (pun intended) to Rezko. Sounds like desperation time in the Obama campaign.
