    and the NEWSWEEK/Obama echo chamber continues...
    http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/09/21/dems-seize-on-mccains-13-cars/

    You people are basically a 527 for the Obama campaign at NEWSWEEK, you know that right?

      That must explain the extraneous comment linking Obama to 50 Cent.

      For Smith2008: A really GOOD ONE about Kerry and Teresa Heinz Kerry.

      Congratulations on your service.
      But do you think think that you would hold the same view of a fellow serviceman who was pushed higher in the ranks than you, despite graduating the lowest 1% and crashing numerous aircraft simply because of connections?
      All this talk about letting people pull themselves up and letting the cream rise to the top totally neglects the amount of nepotism that is rampant, especially in the Republican party--ironically the same people who complain that democrats want to give something to those who are less worthy.

      Well as a Community Mobilizer I applaud Obama for having been a Mobilizer in South side Chicago, it is a very, very hard job, the problems you handle as a mobilizer are never ending and by the way in my job as mobilizer I have been shot at 13 times by drug dealers. I went to south side Chicago several years ago and saw for myself the job he did there, he helped so many people who had lost their jobs it was truly amazing. I can't believe Americans are going to be conned again, if we get McCain I can hear all of you whining a couple of years from now, he promised us jobs, he promised us lower taxes, he is all talk you all better wake up!

    MCCain+ Palin = LIES You want truth, republicans? You can't handle the truth!!

    thank you givemeabreak & cookie5800.
    it should not be an issue as to what kind of car our candidates drive. look at the issues people!! Obama is not the one you want to run country. Read his books, look at the facts about him, he is not a proud American, nor is his wife. WAKE UP people.

    I think if any of you actually picked up on any of the small things that Obama has done so far in this campaign you would see he does not belong in the White House much less the Senate. He's the definition of unpatriotic.

    • Posted By: An Average Joe @ 09/21/2008 11:15:04 PM

      Where are you getting this UNPATRIOTIC crap? Neither of these candidates can rightfully be accused of being unpatriotic. That's actually absurd.

      • Posted By: jitterbug_perfume @ 09/22/2008 5:41:18 PM

        He didn't wear a lapel flag pin, remember? Didn't you know that's the sign of a true patriot?
        Bah! I'd say america gets what it deserves, but they're bringing down the thinkers with them too, unfortunately.

    McCain+ Palin =LIES! Rebublicans...YOU can't handle the TRUTH!

    It's like Bill Maher says: by looking at how we voted recently, you would think that we don't learn from our mistakes, that history teaches us nothing. We are supposed to be some smart folks, by any Earth standards.
    Guess what? We are in tune to redo it, and redo it wrong...

    You think 13 cars is average- you're a patholgical liar like McCain and the Alaska bitch.

    • Posted By: thatchmo @ 09/22/2008 4:26:31 PM

      Take your meds and calm down. You and bethsnyder missed my point entirely. All of the Senators are out of touch with what goes on in the average American family. Obama included. McCain and Obama are only saying what their consultants think we want to hear. There isn't an original idea or thought coming from either one of them yet every election each side falls for the nonsense that their candidate cares for or empathises for the "average American". How gullible we've all become.

      • Posted By: friendly democrat @ 09/22/2008 5:38:23 PM

        your wrong,,all of the senators are not out of touch...especially the ones that grew up poor such as obama...and yes obama is screaming the same thing democrats always screem but dont get heard because of abortion or gay marriage...they want to help us. obama is screaming to bail our mainstreet if your going to bail out wall st but mccaint is screaming that at all.

    So I am hearing all this talk about the woe of detroit auto makers, Buy american Buy America. Hey guys check under the hood of your "American" Ford, or GM. Sure they are assembled here, but you'll see all these funny engravings under the hood, for instance I had a Dodge that when I looked at the engine specifically said, Imported from Mitsubishi for Chrysler. These Big 3 Automakers are pulling the wool over your eyes if you don't see they are in bed with companies, like Toyota and Honda that they paint to be so anti american...Toyota has 5 assembly plants in the US and Honda has even more than that... In fact I drive a Honda Built in Alabama. Just some food for thought for about how the public is constantly being played and manipulated by special interest and Media, for both sides of the ailse.

    Looks like McCain is saying Obama's an elitist while owning more cars than me and my 6 neighbors combined. Looks like McCain's talking about giving the finger to the oil companies while almost singlehandedly keeping them in business with these gas hog rides of his. Looks like McCain is telling workers in Detroit that he buys American all the way...except for the VW, Lexus and Honda...LIES!!!!

  • Posted By: Express-talk @ 09/22/2008 5:26:39 PM

    YES AMERICANS DO CARE TO KNOW WHY McCAIN DOESN´T GET IT !! MCCAIN´D RATHER CALL AMERICAN NATION OF WHINNERS, MENTAL DEPRESSIVE AND DECLARING THAT OUR ECONOMY IS SOUND EVEN THOUGH HE SAID HE´S ECONOMY DUMMY. THE OVER 13 CARS AND 9 HOUSES DO HELP EXPLAIN WHY McCAIN IS OUT OF TOUCH !!

  • Posted By: zenoreo @ 09/22/2008 5:05:46 PM

    WHO CARES about McCain's cars? As long as he is not ACTUALLY DRIVING on the road, just leave him alone to reminisce about days long ago when he could remember where he was suppose to go !!

  • Posted By: Sconan56 @ 09/21/2008 5:15:34 PM

    Why is it that bigot's don't have the ball's to say what they mean, instead of using code words like "pimp-mobile"??? Don't want to be known for who you really are?????????????

    • Posted By: jitterbug_perfume @ 09/22/2008 4:57:05 PM

      They can't even admit their subtle racism to themselves. I imagine many of them to be the sort that can comfortably, and with a straight face, say, "I'm not a racist, but. . ."

  • Posted By: Dmitriy @ 09/22/2008 3:26:48 AM

    Try checking Tony Rezko's name, you'll find the rest of Obama's cars.

    • Posted By: elizabethpaige @ 09/22/2008 4:52:42 PM

      Your comments are stale and silly.

  • Posted By: Powerfade @ 09/22/2008 10:25:38 AM

    Obama is just starting to make and take the power and money. Wait until he he's comfortable with his millions and he too will begin to keep up with the jet set crowd. If you need proof just look at his new McMansion and how he aquired it! IMHO...I don't trust any of them, but I'm surely not going to trust a newbie

    • Posted By: elizabethpaige @ 09/22/2008 4:45:21 PM

      Sen. Obama and his wife have both worked hard for their home which they are paying for. Your problem with that is what?

  • Posted By: Palinforamerica @ 09/22/2008 10:25:09 AM

    Let's see...Dem's are making a big flap because John McCain drives cars that are mostly over 8 years old? I am only a secretary and I own a 2000 Audi TT Quattro and a Chrysler Sebring, and a Ford Pickup, and may need to buy another car for our teenage son to drive. So that gives me 4 autos, and a motorcycle in the garage...HMMMM I own Half as many cars as HE does! And???

    • Posted By: elizabethpaige @ 09/22/2008 4:43:09 PM

      Those old cars won't be much help when you retire.

  • Posted By: martyks @ 09/21/2008 1:48:33 PM

    The issue is hypocricy, not how many cars they own. McSame approved disgusting commercials that portrayed the Obamas out to be elitists. It was a lie. To add to it, the McBushes are the rich ones. I really believe that the think tank guys on the McInsane side look for every weakness of their candidate and then try to pin that label on Obama, the theory being that it will disarm the criticism of McBlame because they are both claiming the same thing. It's like this group wants to say "me too" on every subject... Now, this idea that talk is cheap is a hot one. If that is true, and Bush is rich, why did he have such a hard time putting together a sentence? Let's face it, someone who can conjugate a verb and also pronounce "Nuclear" would be a pleasant change for us all.

    • Posted By: jitterbug_perfume @ 09/22/2008 4:42:41 PM

      Elitist seems to be code for one who is intelligent and believes in education. Considering how sound science is taking a back seat to religious myth, this viewpoint is rather unsurprising.

  • Posted By: cheesedad @ 09/22/2008 10:48:58 AM

    This is no surprise. McCain is not one of us, nor will he ever be one of us - except for elections. 13 vehicles! Are you kidding?

    Meanwhile people with no job, maybe one working car, little future because their jobs have been sent out of the country - they still support McCain! They hurt themselves and their families by supporting Republicans who care zip about them except during elections.

    And who is the "elite" one? The one with one house and one car - or the one with 7 houses and 13 vehicles?

    • Posted By: Average-Joe @ 09/22/2008 10:56:38 AM

      ARE YOU REFERRING TO NAFTA WHERE THE JOBS LEFT THE COUNTRY. THE SAME NAFTA BILL CLINTON PUSHED THROUGH?

      • Posted By: elizabethpaige @ 09/22/2008 4:41:31 PM

        McCain says he favors free trade, which means he favors NAFTA. It's highly doubtful that McCain is smart enough to 'get' the ramifications of NAFTA but it's obvious that he doesn't care either.

  • Posted By: bubbletop @ 09/22/2008 10:50:59 AM

    Who gives a crap about how many cars a person owns, or claims to own.

    • Posted By: elizabethpaige @ 09/22/2008 4:33:00 PM

      How about Americans who deplore greed'? McCain greed is as ugly as Wall Street greed.

  • Posted By: friendly democrat @ 09/22/2008 10:57:40 AM

    mccain runs around saying the fundamentals of the economy are strong while he has multiple cars and so many houses he cant remember...he is out of touch...how many of u guys posting know how many houses u have ...how many of u guys posting have 10 cars? he is out of touch and has no business running our country

    • Posted By: elizabethpaige @ 09/22/2008 4:31:05 PM

      John McCain is chomping to be president so he can 'show' the world that he knows how to 'win wars' instead of the humiliation that he experienced in a war that was lost in Vietnam.

      For all of McCain's advantages and life's lessons, he lacks the judgment and temperament to be president. McCain would be even more disastrous than Bush.

    I'm a very middle class guy who has 4 kids and have had as many as 6 vehicles at one time. Both myself and my wife drive to work about a 11/2 miles. My older kids carpooled to two different schools. One was a small p/up that we used for work around the house and servrd as a backup to the others. It was driven less than 1000 miles a year. The sixith was a four wheel drive that was hardly moved in the summer and only pulled out when the weather was bad. We live on a large hill and can't get back up if we have snow or ice. Who's business is it of anyone how many cars we have? It's not like we were driving them all at once. How many cars does Leno have? How about your favorite rap or sports star? Give me a break! Ever seen the show Cribs? I did't think you guys could make your self look any dumber. I guess I was wrong.
