Do You Know HOw Many Homes You Have???

I have one, I am not like McCain and not know. How can he understand that people can hardly make it when he has no problem owning 7?

It's not a serious anything, it's an incompetent press inspired yawn. Almost no one who pays into a mutual fund or retirment account knows what they own.. but it is still in their names. Do you know how many vegans own stock in slaughterhouses and meat packing companies? Do you have a retirement account? If so, do you know what companies you own stock in? The only difference between a mutual fund or other retirement account is the number of 0s in the value of the portfolio. If you want to sling the "out of touch" frizbee around, what did you think of Michelle Obama when she scoffed at the $600 stimulus checks, since that's only good for "a couple of earrings". Now THAT is "out of touch" ;~D btw, I think both Obama and McCain are woefully out of touch, I just think this example is nothing more than the press playing on how out of touch the average voter is with the rich.

I rolled my eyes to the back of my skull when I watched that one on the news today. I believe it took him by surprise and left him without words. Scarey!

This is one thing that really doesn't interest me when it comes to these two candidates. They both have money..big deal. The amount of money you have in no way indicates whether you can lead this country so whether McCain is rich or Obama is rich...I couldn't care less. I own two homes, by the way.

I know how many houses I own (or pay off) because, unfortunately, I have to pay the bills!

LOL I know how many homes I own, but sadly it's just home not homes.

Sorry, had to let the staff go. (It's this damn recession) I'm hanging on to a ohome by a thread. LOL I just answered another thread on this subject but I feel strongly about this issue.(LoL again) I saw the houses owned by BOTH candidates on the news this morning and I thought they were all tacky. They were rich yuppie houses without an ounce of character. The private homes of other presidents conveyed a unique Americanism. I could imagine foreign dignitaries spending time at San Clemente or Hickory Hill or the compund at Hyannis but It would be really embarassing to see them stashed in one of the houses I saw on TV this morning. I don't care how many properties these guys own but I sort of would like at least one of them to have a little class. Here's a thought: whichever candidate can come up with a distinct, classy abode by election day can have my vote. The only problem is it takes years to make a house a home (even on the outside) and these guys have only a few months. Sorry, but I am a real house snob and i think a cottage done right is a lot nicer than a big rambling meant to impress yuppie storehouse and the houses I saw on the news this morning were all glorified storage spaces.

My staff took some deliberation before informing me of the bad news, then they drew straws to decide who was going to tell me.....sigh....0 houses owned. Ok, now humor aside................ BIG FRIGGIN WHOOPTIE DEAL! Sorry, this is by FAR the petitiest, most insignifigant and childish issue the Obama camp has brought to date. Seriously, who gives a craap. The truth? How many houses does he own? Sen. McCain himself does not own any of the properties. They’re all owned by Cindy McCain, her dependent children and the trusts and companies they control. Five of the eight properties were purchased between the summer of 2004 and this February, for a total of $11 million. The five new properties are all condominiums, and they include three in Phoenix — one of which became the couple’s primary Phoenix residence after a Cindy McCain family trust in 2006 sold for $3.2 million the house in which they raised their children — and a pair outside San Diego. The McCains have a pre-nuptial agreement that separates their finances. The “homes”, as Barack Obama and his campaign put it, are mostly investment properties in Cindy McCain’s trust. Since John McCain has no involvement in his wife’s business affairs, he would have little knowledge of the assets in her portfolio Again....big deal, BIG FRIGGIN DEAL. No doubt, McCain’s answer was awkward. but, McCain himself doesn’t own any property and isn’t “rich”, and Cindy and her family earned their money honestly. They certainly didn’t partner with a now-convicted political fixer to buy a house in a tony neighborhood. How many houses does Pelosi own? Hundreds of rental properties. How many houses does Fienstien own? Agian, hundreds, but if asked impromtu, NEITHER could answer that off the cuff either. Do the democrats have nothing better to focus on other than childish and peti issues like this? What, whith everyone wanting to drill now and oil prices falling, with a withdrawal agreament in Iraq in place have they lost almost every other issue to help them? Or is it perhaps a peak at the socialist and marxist ideals that Obama endorses? One owning too manyhouses makes them evil. How dare he be rich when so many others are suffering, the fiend, the cad. How dare he have the audacity to be successfull. He should imediately give all but one up to the poor. Right Obama? How about giving half your money to the poor you so profoundly claim to be championing for?Or does marxism only apply when it's some one else doing the giving? For God's sake people, is there honestly nothing more important to look at this election? Have you really become this desperate to put a democrat back in office?

Oh, now, Annie, you know he really knew the answer! He was just delegating to his staff! lol Hope you know I am kidding! I presently say that I own one house, but that in fact is a lie. It owns me. Staff not included. :)

I would be willing to guess that 75% of the participate here do not own a home and that if they do they may be subject to forclosure. This is not a slur against anyone it is a statical guess based on what is going on in this economy.

I'll let you know once I overcome my mental recession; being one of a "nation of whiners" makes it hard to keep stuff like that in line sometimes.

I own as many houses as I have staff members....Zero, nada, bupkis!

McBush is totally out of touch with the average American, isn't he? Reminds me of a grocery store a while ago, where he didn't know where he was, thought it was a museum or some such. He did say $5 million was an income he considered rich. He did say he didn't know much about the economy, so for once he was telling the truth. Save us from this guy, America.

Meetings over and they informed me only 2..the one i live in and our Lake House...my middle Son lives in that one..and neither place has any Help at this moment..lol..

We only have one home. We sold the others, one at a time, and used the money to buy the next one, but when we started the interest rates were so sky high that we just went into homes that were equal in value. We should have a luxurious mansion with six rooms, two stories, a large living room, and a large dining room, an insuite and a large yard plus a finished basement. Well we got a large yard, but that is all.
