I’m not a fan of political ads of any stripe, but this is a very relevant point.

You can’t fault people for their economic success.

You can fault someone for hypocrisy, Mcbush tries to paint Obama as an elitist while Mcbush owns seven houses.Those who live in multiple glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.
CondeNasty
^^^^
You do have a point.

Economic successes? He *married* a beer heiress worth $100 million. I guess that’s “economic success” of a stripe, but not the kind one typically lauds.

That’s a good ad, but they really should start to go over McCain’s lack of candor and honesty. How can someone not know how many homes they own? Clealry he did not want to say the mumber because he knew it was something which would distance him from the average american.

GRAMPY not knowing how many houses he owns…er how many houses the pillionaire owns, along with Rich = 5 million is GOLDEN for Obama!
Maybe Grampy can no longer count ALL the way to FOUR?
ASK Grampy at EVERY Townhall meeting how much house staff they employ, how much square footage they have TOTAL, what are the utility bills?
I wonder what other items Grampy doesn’t know how many they own?
Like Planes, Cars, and Boats
mark
WHINERS = people who know how many houses they own
mark
When you count houses…does that include MANSIONS?
Lieberman = McCain’s Brain
he knows how many houses they own
CHURCHILL-Y
Yeah because nothing says average working stiff American like Obama:

I bet EVEN Britney knows how many houses she owns

I’d superimpose Grampy’s face on Monopoly’s little rich cartoon
Show Boardwalk and Park Place piled up with houses
then cut to Grampy with a baffled look on his face.
CHURCHILL-Y
And yet Obama’s brother lives on a slum on less then a dollar a month. Did Obama remember him? When ones own family lives in thatched roof huts one shouldn’t be throwing rocks at others.
He truly can relate to average working Americans!

John yells from his recliner…
“C*NT, how many houses do we own?”
she answers, what’s this “WE?”
mark
Obama begin EVERY speech until the election by asking your audience…”If you know how many houses you own, raise your hand?”
FIST BUMPS all round, is it Nov 4th …YET?
mark
IMAGINE
Grampy spending the next 4 years snug in one of his minimum of four houses…NONE of them WHITE.
mark
McCain asked his audience.
“How many houses do you own?”
every hand raised one finger, no need to say which finger
Mr C
Churchill-Y,
Okay so tell me about Hillary and all of her exclusive,luxurious homes chappaqua NY (Westchester Cty the wealthiest count in NY state) NW DC on the Gold Coast, etc.
How can that relate to the working people?
You said:
Does that also speak for when ones family lives in Trailer parks?
And this about Obama’s brother.
Can you reference me that article so we can actually see if it’s authentic. How do you know if they even have an relationship with each other?
But you always have the old man…..who I guess identifies with you only you don’t have 7 homes.
CHURCHILL-Y
Mr C, Please I beg of you don’t make me laugh to hard. I can’t right now. I now you’re a cruel heartless thug but Mercy!!!
Hillary a track record(something Obama doesn’t) in working in impoverish neighborhoods(especially in the south with black people *shocking*)and with working families throughout her career.
That I know no relative of hers lives in a hut in a slum and she is most certainly not questioning others real estate ownerships why having made a shady and dubious deal to acquire one herself.
That’s Obama territory.
O pauper brother here you go Mr C:

>Hillary has a track recordreal estate ownerships while having made a shady and dubious deal<
God I need to stop laughing at your idiocy Mr C!
CHURCHILL-Y
*real estate ownerships…..
I need to wipe the tears from my eyes and drink a glass of water.

Mr C
Churchshit-Y
Oh I guess your DUMB ASS forgot about WHITEWATER!!!!!
They just had folks take the fall for them when it all hit then fan.
You know The McDougals, her secret lover Vince Foster.
Their ASSES are shady also!
And Arkansas is the ONLY poor Black neighborhood Hillary has worked in because it DAMN sure wasn’t NYC.
Where she is a Senator
As far as idiocy. You were bore from an idiot….remember that PUNK!
