All the Candidates’ Cars

Yeaaaa, riiiight, that's it, must be the kids!! I personally have bought each of my teenagers two to three cars each, just to ensure they get where they need to go. See? Evolution. Link. Missing. Way over your head apparently. And Limo's? Of course! Duh, due to security reasons ALL the candidates have to up the anty. We are talking about the election of the 'Leader of the Free World, and they are entitled to all the amenities the Secrect Service has to offer. Again, helllllooooooo people, wake up. The kids cars? LMAO

Who cares how many cars and how many houses! Let begrudge a person for doing well. It's far better that the McCain's can afford the things they have than the thousands of people who over extended themselves and bought things that they cannot afford or even pay for. Thus the reason we have the banking crisis we have today. Everybody wants everything RIGHT NOW! They don't know the first thing about working hard and saving up for their purchases, or about living within their means. Yes Cindy inherited alot. Good for her!

Given that the McCains are much older and more successful then the BHO's it is no wonder they have collected many assets along the way. Note that they have three "green" vehicles to the BHO's one. Last note; Just what kind/make of car(s) do the authors own, eh?

Perhaps the McCain's 6 or 7 driving age children have something to do with the disparity. With Barry in DC and Michelle my Bell in the Windy city, at least one of them must be riding to work in the back of a limo. It wiould be difficult for even the Messiah to carpool given that geography. Hey why don't you do a story on how many pairs of Barney pajamas even candidate's families own, or how many pairs of sunglasses each candidate owns, now that would make some real interesting reading.

Perhaps McCain's driving age children have something to do with the disparity. 'with Barack in DC and Michelle in Chicago, one of them must be riding to work in the back of a limo, you aren't suggesting the Obama's are car pooling are you?

I think it's a great story, especially this week....just think of the dress that Cindy McCain wore on the night of the convention, it cost $300,000.00 and that could have two modest homes for those being stolen by people like them in the 'elite' and making money off the ordinary joe and jane.

Please... while this may once again demonstrates that Obama is much more "in touch" with the realities of life for 95% of Americans today, it hardly warrants the investment of time and resources for a major news publication to investigate and report its "facts", Come on, Newsweek - let's raise your standards a bit here and delve into things far more relevant and substantive to determining which slate is better qualified to serve this country as President and VP.

This is quite funny actually. All the talk McSame has made of Obama being an elitist seems to be coming back to him. GOOD. An elitist doesn't own just one house, juts one car dummies. An elitist will own several houses and cars, way more than they would ever need. The spirit of an elitist is to posess, posess, posess, and have more and better things than their neighbor. This is clear evidence McSame is an elitist, and is not the good 'ol regular joe he''d trying to convince swing votes he is. Good job NW, keep exposing these fools for what they are!

Normally, I wound not agree with this petty article considering everything that is going on in the world, but McCain was the one who made the issue of Obama being out of touch and an elitist., so the fact McCain is still trying to protray himself as an average guy is laughable, insulting and hypocritical. Remember Hillary tried the same thing and look where it got her.

give me a break, who really cares how many cars these politicians and their families own? Let's focus on the real issues. NewsWeek, you are suppose to provide the news to your readers and on weeks like this, I know there are true issues that can be discussed instead of this "crap"!

The supposedly trained editors at NEWSWEEK missed the racism that many readers found blatant and this kind of racism is often repeated in most media across the country. .Passive racism is still racism. Even IF intrinsic subconsciously, this dangerous trait rears its ugly head more often than what many people think or want to accept, especially in themselves. Now, does anyone else think that race is not a huge factor in the race for President? How quickly and unfairly Michelle Obama got labeled a terrorist and unamerican for her observations about racism in America and for being especially proud for a history making occasion, yet, the media is not focusing on Sara and Tod Palin's ties to the Alaska Independence Party (AIP) particularly as it relates to Tod's deep and some say active participation in Alaska's State government affairs. If Michelle Obama had belonged to or had ties to some kind of separatist group like AIP and Barack had given several speeches and or attended some of their meetings, he would be out of the Presidential race. Why aren't the Palins considered possible terrorists and unamerican for their interest in un-uniting the Alaskan part of the United States? Why wouldn't Tod be considered a mole or a spy for the AIP like Michelle would if she had had an affiliation with a group like AIP?

It took not one but two top notch Newsweak reports to come up with this gem. I would also like to know who made the decision to give them the go ahead to research this piece. I mean we are only facing an economic crisis the like of which we have never seen but someone at Newsweak thought this issue deserved more attention. What happened to this magazine? Are they in jeopardy of losing readership to the National Inquirer? I will sleep better tonight know Newsweak is researching those key issues that effect my life.

Hiraeth,

Fine to vote on "judgement," but unless you are British, you'd better learn to spell the word (judgment) first.

Citadelgrrlo5 (comment below) hit the nail on the head. The comment (from hiraeth) referenced claimed that the McCains "lived the American Dream." Hiraeth are you crazy? People are mistaking Barack's confidence in himself and what he is after. This is not being elite. This is called intelligence and judgement, things John McCain doesn't have! Cindy McCain,mentioned during an interview I watched, that she she got her pilot's license and bought an airplane because that was the only way you could get around in Arizona! I live in Arizona and find I get around Arizona just fine in my Car! I hope that the voters can see through idiotic claim that McCain "feels their pain." ......and ,yes, is what a very cheap shot to mention 50-cent and a McCain's license plate number. That is not responsible journalism. Where are your editors?

yeah, right, and Obama is the elitist... Wow! Amazing. And all those vehicles are in his rich (rhymes with rich) 's name... a good ol' boy who's found someone to take care of him in his old age... Hypocrits!

keith N. and Hilary S. what the hell does 50 fricking cents have to do with obama.. I see, find the most random gangsta vile rapper and try to connect them to obama this is the most disturbing thing about how yall have treated sentor obama, any tiny thing you can find to connect him with anyone, yall do it.. You two should be ashamed
