This is another example of how ridiculous the Republican party's attempts at labeling Democrats elitists. That and their trying hand over TRILLIONS to their rich buddies on Wall Street in an attempt to bail them out.

Who was at the top of taking money from Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae - Chris Dodd and Obama. He has only been in the Senate for a short time and he was getting the second highest in money! Not to mention that Franklin Raines and Jim Johnson are in his campaign. You people are just plain idiots to think that this man is capable of running a nation.
Franklin Raines was NEVER IN the Obama campaign, and Jim Johnson is LONG GONE. How can you tell if someone is Republican? He still repeats yesterday's lies that have already been exposed as false.
Phil Gramm, John McCain, Lindsay Graham, supercilious, self-satisfied, and out of touch.
Does John still drive at his advanced age ???
Some say war injuries prevent McCain from using a computer. Yet he can barbecue, eat with a knife and fork, drink from a glass, and drive cars around Arizona? Hmmm.
My mother drove until she was 77 and never had an accident and always drove the speed limit unlike many elders her age. She'd still be driving but unfortunately she died. Guess when you get to that "advanced age" you'll gladly give up your license and keys. I've seen people drive well into their 80s and 90s and do as good a job as most drivers on the roads. Get off of age!!!!
McCain is soooo out of touch with our issues and problems.
He would have priviatised your Social Security if you are under 57 years old.
He wanted to run health care the way he ran the banking industry.
What is on this guy's mind?
Doesn't he have enough money?
When an individual works hard in life and achieves personal financial wealth it is very rewarding. it's even more rewarding to give back to society and to those who are less fortunate. What's unfortunate is when the government wants to penalize you for taking risks, cresting jobs, and investing in our economy. Go ahead and tax the rich as Obama wants and wait to see who suffers. I guarentee it won't be the wealthy! Have you ever received a job from a poor man?
Have you ever received a tax cut from a Republican?
You have GOT to be kidding me! Who CARES how many cars these people own???? How many kids do the McCain's have???? Ya think some of them might be drivers? I stopped reading NewsWeak 17 years ago because of your obvious bias. I see I made the correct decision.
You just hit right on the head. I remember when Newsweek was a serious magazine with real journalists. That was long ago. Now they are spokespeople for the left wing and in their spare time work with the elect Obama at all costs group.
Limbaugh and Hannity may be more to your liking. No university degrees to clutter their minds.
Yeah. That totally explains the extraneous comment about Obama, his car and gangsta rapper 50 Cent.
Pull your head out of the sand. I'm beginning to think the O in GOP stands for Ostrich.
Cindy McCain founded the American Voluntary Medical Team It was a non-profit organization that organized trips for doctors, nurses, and other medical personnel to provide MASH-like emergency medical care to disaster-struck or war-torn third-world areas such as Micronesia, Vietnam (before relations were normalized between them and the U.S., Kuwait (arriving five days after the conclusion of the Gulf War), Iraq, Nicaragua, India, Bangladesh and El Salvador.She led 55 of these missions over the next seven years, with each being of at least two weeks' duration. AVMT also supplied treatment to poor sick children around the world.In 1993, Cindy McCain and the AVMT were honored with an award from Food for the Hungry.
It was through her humanitarian efforts that led her to the daughter she and John ended up adopting.
What has Obama done... for ANYONE?
He's voted "Present" over 130 times because Yes or No was too hard...
He's missed MORE votes in 3 years than McCain missed in 21, or Clinton missed in 7.
He voted for RAISING the taxes of those making $35,000 a year even though that's considered lower to middle class, who he claims to be fighting for
He was the #2 highest paid politician from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac... the top 3 being Dodd, Obama and Kerry (in that order).
Yeah... I guess he has accomplished a lot.
As long as tax payers aren't paying for the houses and cars, who the hell cares what his family does with THEIR money? The money they earned... our soldiers give their lives every year so we can live the American dream. Suddenly... someone is living it and they're evil.
What about Barbara Streisand? What about Rosie O'Donnell? What about Barbara Walters? What about the Richest woman in the world... Oprah.
no one every slams them for what they have. This is only an issue because McCain is a conservative. That shows where liberals minds are. (Well it would if they had any)
Wow you must be real proud of yourself, all this cutting and pasting must have worn you out! Do you really think your views (or mine for that matter) really make a difference on this type of board?? If you think they do, you're even more stupid than I originally thought! Posters take note: This is exactly the type of person who DESERVES someone like McPalin! LOL Sadly, this is also the type of person who eats the propoganda off the McPalin machine like a mad starving lunatic. Better watch that waistline, you really are full of it!!
No my friend you obviously eat up the liberal propaganda that is feed to you! Obviously you could only come up with that comment and are unaware of what the truth is. Huffington Post isn't accurate news either. Try looking at factcheck.org or snopes.com. A useful little tool to disprove the "propaganda".
It's no wonder people outside of the states think Americans are stupid.
What? Republicans Bush, Cheney and McCain have done about all they can to destroy America's future for the next 50 years.
No, don't even think about blaming Sen. Obama for the mess this country is in.
Streisand, O'Donnel, Walters and Winfrey aren't running for President and calling themselves "average Americans"
You Average Joes kill me with your double-standard.
You want a guy who's above average in intelligence, integrity, ability to debate, etc, but you want him to be "the average guy."
Yep, that's what we need as President - an above-average, average guy.
Perhaps the "average Joe" can't break out of average because he can't even figure out what he wants?
You're right. Our President should NOT be an "average Joe" ....and he should also not CLAIM to be one (when he's obviously not). We should elect the Harvard Grad who was President of the Harvard Law Review. He is the only candidate providing the intelligence, integrity and ability to debate you describe.
I agree. I was simply pointing out McCains continued untruths. Let the smartest candidate win!
She also stole drugs for her drug habit from the organization!
Yes, we all saw how Cindy McCain completely ignored her adopted daughter on stage at the Republican National Convention. That girl was left off to one side by herself. Same thing happened at an airfield when the family lined up to greet John McCain.
How hard is it to set up a 'foundation' with inherited millions? And it makes for a nice tax deduction .
I'd be more impressed with Cindy McCain if she shared some of her inheritance with her stepsister.
The McCains are greed personified.
thank goodness for someone who actually KNOWS what the facts are and can reiterate them intelligently. Guess it's to much for these libs to "copy and paste" the relevant facts to their absurd candidate. Oh that's right Obama waffles back and forth so much they probably aren't able to come up with the same stance on an issue twice. Whatever! As long as the Dems keep creating more government programs to pay for baby mammas why worry about being articulate let alone intelligent. They government can carry the load. Pathetic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
your so ignorant Melissa_ski.....the bible doesn't say the anti christ is a charaismatic speaker, that's only an interpretation, which is what all the beliefs of the bible are. And McCain isn't misleading?! Hello! He's a politician! Abortion is not murder because you can't murder something that isn't alive, which fetuses are not. Technically they are part of the mother. until they can survive outside the womb. It may not be the most humane form of birth control, but it is definately not murder. Again, a belief that is an nterpretation from the bible. You are way to literal. Anyone who has a black parent and identifies with that race is black. Why don't you open your mind and try to look at things in a broader spectrum. You might be surprised at what you see.
Wow. I can't remember when I've seen such hateful and cruel ignorance. You can't possibly have given birth, because if you had ever been pregnant, you would know there is another life inside you. Did you actually say --It (abortion) may not be the most humane form of birth control??! Do you actually have one scintilla of life experience? Why don't you Google pictures of aborted babies and then say they 'weren't alive.' LOOK AT THEM! They have beating hearts, working brains -- that means they are alive! When the abortionist comes at them in the womb with the tools that will dismember them, they actually pull away in a desperate act of self preservation. THEY ARE ALIVE. Anyone who says otherwise is delusional, heartless, crazy or all three of the above. I'm amazed when people say 'Abortion is a very difficult choice.' Why? Is that because everyone knows a human life is being taken in a savage way?
So let's talk about the lives that have been given in the service of our country. Those men and women are heroes AND their parents are heroes for allowing them to be born. They lived and laughed and loved and served their fellow citizens honorably. How many would-be heroes have been aborted? How many would have died for YOU in the service of their country?
As for the innocent civilians who have died in Iraq, you don't really care about them. You can't possibly care, because you have a disconnect with humanity. I guess in your belief system many of them could have just as well been aborted, thus sparing them of the weight of life on this planet. I wonder how many of them would have chosen an abbreviated life over being aborted and having none at all.
I also believe with my whole heart that if Hussein (Saddam) had somehow acquired nukes and used them on the US, people like you would be screaming that we should have gone over there and taken him out when we had the chance whatever the cost.
I say the following in the most honest and sincere way... My prayer for people like you is that your hearts will not be so terribly hard. Tiny, living people are being destroyed in the most heinous ways imaginable. I dare you to Google abortion pictures and deny THAT.
"fetuses" have heart beats within th efirst two months. Gee did the mother grow another heart? No it is a life growing inside you. Do some research stupid, dont just do what the liberals tell you too, try and thingk for yourself.
Up to a certain point a fetus cannot and is not viable outside the body of it's mother.
The Old Testament did not consider it murder when an action causes a pregnant mother to abort the fetus. The only penalty was if the mother was injured in the action. The female human body naturally aborts fertilized eggs all the time, and you fundamentalists don't mind that at all. You don't mind at all when an American military invasion causes the deaths of 4000+ US soldiers and 500,000 Iraqi citizens (remember, Iraq had NOTHING to do with terrorism). You don't mind at all when genocide takes millions of lives of Africans.
Why the disconnect? Why so much inconsistency?
Apparently non american lives aren't worth as much as american fetuses are.
He owns 13 cars, and he wants to drive this country into a ditch.
Yeah, he drove his 'deregulation' car into a financial ditch.
That was very funny! :)
What does 50 Cent driving a Chrysler have to do with Obama? Out of all the people who drive Chryslers, why link 50 Cent to Obama? Why no mention of celebrities that drive cars similar to the McCains?
No, I'm likely in the same boat you and your family finds themselves in. Neither side is perfect and neither candidate is the best option we have but they are both the only options we are given. I just wish people would not try to make everything so personal and try to make the best choice based upon what is most important to them and their family.
this article goes to show how much Obama really cares about the enviroment. Instead of driving himself around, he used a plane to get everywhere, and then when he does need a car, he hires a limo or a cab that would get less gas mileage than McCains 1960 Jeep....which by the way should not even be added in the car count becuase I am sure that it is just an antique or family car.....I am 19 and have three cars myself. WHO CARES!!!!! I am happy to drive my 1981 Jeep around and get less than 10 mpg. At least I have fun and better things to do then watch the stupid newsmedia bring up all kinds of pointless news about BOTH candidates. There should be a law that states that no one should be able to start campaining for president until the summer before. THEN we would actually get good news and stop hearing the same old stuff everyday about stupid things such as cars or who visited where and when......
Well put - I doubt whether the fact that Obama has only one car really indicates anything about his concern for his carbon footprint, or his spending patterns as 'one of us' normal Americans. It really doesn't matter to me how many residences or cars John and Cindy McCain have. I'm not going to judge them as being 'elitist' or wasteful based on such trifling evidence. Even if I did, that doesn't have much to do with how John McCain would behave as President.
So what's his beef with greed on Wall Street?
Excuse me, but I really don't understand what your point is? How is the number of cars a family owns pertinent to how well he or she would do a President's job? This one-home-owner, middle class family owns 6 vehicles - one for each member of the family (3 of whom are in school outside of our town) and a truck that we need for ongoing home projects All to say that we need 6 vehicles....Now, what was YOUR POINT?
Does each member of your middle-class family have his/her own bathroom? Just wondering.
You are not middle class if you can afford six vehicles, including one just to support your "ongoing home projects."
I don't care how many cars or homes Mrs. McCain chooses to buy. She also does a lot of good with her wealth.
The issue for voters is John McCain putting on a big act about Wall Street greed when he lives and loves his greedy lifestyle.
We already know that Cindy Lou greedily bought a husband.
I just think a man who doesn't even remember who bought his daughter's car can't really relate to me and my problems. His tax incintive will lower his wife's taxes, but not mine. I'm voting for the man who will lower 95% of American's taxes. I'm voting for the man who will bring my Uncle home to his 5 children and the man who will stop sending 10 BILLION dollars a month to a country that sits on 80 billion in oil reserves. I'm not voting for a man who has voted with President Bush 91% of the time and then thinks we American's won't care.
Obama '08. Wake up America....13 cars????? It must be nice to get a pension from the government for 59,000 a year and still be worth over 100 million dollars. It must be nice to get tax breaks while the rest of us struggle. Wake up and vote with your heart.
Wake up tinatuna!! You are so far out of touch.
threadbare marybare.
I think he doesn't care how many homes he has or how many cars he owns because he's focusing on far more important things like whether the rest of us have A car to drive or A house to live in.
If greedy John McCain thinks American voters trust him and his 'deregulation' buds to clean up Wall Street and the banking industry, he is a complete doofus.
Barack Obama has always gone for the lower level when he could afford the higher. Obviously McCain lives high on the hog.
This is very typical of the McCains. They say one thing and it is, in fact, another. We've lived through 8 years of lies. Should we opt for what will obviously be 4 more? My vote is hell no.
Neither candidate is perfect but it seems the most honest and consistant of the two is Obama.
Cindy McCain said on The View that how many houses they own is not an issue in this campaign. That's what she thinks.
Um. I just need to point out that there are not only 2 candidates. And, if you're looking for honesty, check out votenader.org!
What's the big deal? McCain is married rich to begin with so what do you expect, a Hyundai excel?
Obama has only one car? ONE CAR?? Sounds to me like the dishonest one here is Obama and not McCain!
Why doy ou say Obama is 'dishonest' because he only owns one car? Haven't you heard of cabs?
I am a Pro Choice republican but even I draw the line at babies who are BORN! Obama wants to kill them, where doctors strangle the babies that are born alive during abortions. Pretty disgusting stuff, even for a Democrat to believe in!

If you have evidence of this happening: (a) register a complaint with the American Medical Association:
(b) ask the appropriate District Attorney to lay charges.
i dont know why they let people post this stuff! lmao
That's right start with so called "CHANGE"? Let's see isn't there aconection with Fannie,Freddie, and Obama?
Isn't there a connection with a know criminal and Obama?
Isn't there a connection with Obama and shady realestate dealings.
So I'm supposed to believe that he's for change, or would that be for my CHANGE $
No, no and no
Might want to fact check before spouting ignorant "hypothetical" questions.
This is good information - let John McCain know how many he has in case he gets asked by a reporter.
Oh, that's right - the Repubs quit doing interviews..............................
Rupblic'cat, you are absolutely right, what you've mentioned are relatively small issues. It just frustrates me how deaf and blind the supports of McCain/Palin are when almost everything they say are so contradictive of their actions and things that are happening in their own lives. They are so out of touch with reality it's sad.
Out of touch with reality? Your kidding right? You are supporting a man who says its okay to kill unborn babies, that is no different, in my opinion than leaving them in the trash can, once they are born. Murder is murder. You are also supporting a liar. OBama is so prejudice!!! It just depends on who he is talking to, to who is prejudice toward. He is a charaismatic speaker, and the Bible says so is the anti-christ. He is also very misleading... He says he wants to be America's first Black President, he can't be!!! He is not black. He is not white. He is no more one than the other, that makes him a mulato. Make be you should read his biography. Then you think long and hard if this is the man that you want to call the Commander in Chief!!
Melissa just listen to yourself. You are ranting and raving about murdering unborn babies, but have no problem supporting the party that goes overseas and kills thousands of people. I don't see how you can condone one and not the other. You are probably for the death penalty also,...right???
Perhaps you are the one who is idiotic, considering how you can't debate this person on the one topic and have to change it to something else to make a point.
Its basic debate. Its nonsensical to debate abortion and then talk about war. They are not interchangeable. You have to discuss one topic at a time. Its very simple.
No, they are both about taking the lives of others.
Have you considered counselling to deal with your misplaced anger?

Sen. Obama isn't telling American women that it's his business if they choose to terminate a pregnancy. Nor is it your business.
