How many shanties has Obombem’s brother survived in?

Now are condo’s homes or rentals to someone else?

Home is where you live, love, and raise a family. We all only have one Home. But, many posses several houses (structures) that are used as investments for ones family that lives in only one home.

Hey allah, McCain should hire you to do these ads. You are good at this stuff.

I think most people see right through this stuff. Believe it or not they are more concerned with the price of a gallon of gas than they are with how many homes McCain’s rich wife owns.

What a dumb question, no doubt from a child like moron.

Hey Oblahblah, at least McCain didn’t buy anything from your Arab pal Tony Rezko, or from your terrorist buddy William Ayers. But your pastor, the wrong Rev. Wright’s house needs to be looked at by the IRS!

He owns zero houses; sounds like he’s more like the common man than any president in history.

Do the same ask people if they have a racist pastor, have any terrorist friends or if they have bought their house from a slumlord.

I’m far more interested in how many starving, third-world siblings Obama has than how many houses McCain has. Because Obama’s the one who is so keen to pick all our pockets to help the poor. Whatever happened to “charity begins at home?”

“The Democratic Party would never nominate a candidate who owns multiple homes. Would they?” Cut to photos of mansion after mansion, each tagged with its property value and synced to the sound of cash registers: $4.9 million, $6.6 million, $9.1 million.

I don’t think the joke is so much that McCain is rich…the reason why what he said was so gaffe-tastic is that he actually couldn’t remember how many houses he owns…when he’s been trying to paint Obama as an elitist.

Someone should ask Barry how many homes his good friend Oprah owns.

Last count I heard was six.

Is Barry a renter?

No, but he did stay at a Holiday Inn Express…..

Well he was only in the Senate for 143 days before beginning his campaign for President, so he was probably staying in a hotel in Washington for the 3 days a week the Senate was in session.

Barry has made it clear that he owns exactly ONE home. Is this true? Most US Senators have a home in their own state and a home in the DC area. Is Barry a renter?

OT, but looking at Rassmussen on the electoral college numbers, EVERY state that has made a move recently has been in the republican direction. Barry better find something more powerful than 7 houses, and quick, or this will no longer be a horserace.

Evidently the DNC views poor campaign tactics in the same way they view years of failed entitlement programs.

As evidence they need more.

yeah, I did remember right. In contrast to McCain astutely referring Politco to campaign staff for the answer to how many homes the McCain’s own and get the info to them right the first time and not hide anything, back in 2004 Kerry played the “I don’t own an SUV” game until he was quickly caught not mentioning the SUV owned by hs wife.

With his typical nuance, Kerry explained, “The family has it. I don’t have it.” (via QandO)

Dems: We were for candidates who didn’t know what they owned before we were against candidates who didn’t know what they owned.

That fence is WAY north of our southern border. Or is that to keep the Canadians out that swim across the lake?

I am so sick of the class warfare schtick. I grew up the product of teenage parents of the sixties, my Dad worked 2-3 jobs to support us in a small town of less than 1,000 people. I finished high school, went to college on loans and very few PELL Grants, and then moved to Washington, DC and got better and better jobs over the years.

I make good money but am not loaded. I’ve made enough to know that money doesn’t buy happiness but I still try to make as much as I can for a better life after my employment years. Call me Satan then! I also try to give where I can. I’m the adoptive father of two children. Why am I evil by definition of the left?

Do they have some sort of internal chart I could look at that tells me when I should just give up on making money because I’m making too much? Who the hell do they think pays for all of their social programs? Tooth Fairy? Santa Claus? I’ve never seen such a group of hand-biters as the Dems are nowadays.

Furthermore, lets run out the timeline a bit here. Obama is roughly 25 years younger than McCain. How much will Obama be worth, especially if he wins POTUS, when he is McCain’s age? They ever thought about that? No, I doubt it, because they can’t see the forest for the trees.

Obama's house. Oh, and we own two houses. Because we work hard, save and invest our money. That's the American Way!
