You know you’re really freakin rich when you don’t know how many homes you own.
[quote] (CNN) – Sen. Barack Obama’s campaign used a new attack ad Thursday to pound Sen. John McCain for his failure to answer a question about how many homes he owns.
Sen. John McCain has faced Democratic criticism that he’s out of touch with average Americans.
The Democratic candidate hammered home the same point on the campaign trail in Virginia as the McCain camp battled back.
"Somebody asked John McCain, ‘How many houses do you have?’ and he said, ‘I’m not sure, I’ll have to check with my staff,’ " Obama said Thursday in Virginia. "True quote. ‘I’m not sure, I’ll have to check with my staff.’ So they asked his staff and he said, ‘At least four.’ "[/quote]
He voted against a Darfur resolution (the only representative to do so).
He also rejects the 9/11 conspiracy theories outright, and often pokes fun at the “truthers”. He also loves his guns, and believes everyone should be armed in case of tyranny (ie: if you don’t believe in democracy, it’s ok to shoot at the government).
He’s also firmly pro-life. Which is fine if you’re a Catholic, I guess.
He’s against same-sex unions of any kind. He believes sodomy should be illegal.
But hey, other than those show stoppers (in my opinion), he’s actually a pretty smart guy. The pro-life, anti-gay thing seems to get lots of votes in the US. And rejecting all the 9/11 nutjobs shows that he’s not a nutjob himself.
Agreed.
It is official. Obama has selected Joe Biden to be his VP on the ticket. I think Biden is a good choice. I certainly hope that Biden will be a good attack-dog and go after McCain. The race is getting tighter.
Agreed. Biden will be able to make voters feel more comfortable with Obama’s perceived lack of experience. Hopefully, Biden will be able to quickly lash into McCain’s campaign (with a smile of course).
