Obama You Should Not Have Spoken About Houses

Obama’s campaign has been trying to paint McCain as an “elitist” by criticizing the homes owns with his wife, Cindy. When asked by a Politico reporter how many homes he had, McCain deflected the question to his staff because he was unsure how many condominiums Cindy currently owned. The problem is that Obama is the guy who made more than $4 million last year, just got back from vacation on a private beach in Hawaii and bought his own million-dollar mansion with the help of a convicted felon. Really Obama you are not the one to speak about houses. Obama did you forget about Tony Rezko, who played a role in helping Obama expand the $1.65 million mansion Obama purchased $300,000 below the list price on Chicago’s South Side in 2005. Rezko's wife, Rita, coincidentally purchased land adjacent to the Obama's property on the same day, at the full list price, and later sold a parcel of it to the Obama's which made the Obama's yard bigger. Obama you really have some gaule!

I don't have to ask my staff how many houses I have. It's easy, just one. McCain is out of touch with America. Get used to Obama's name; he's going to be our next president.

Why do you think a rich lawyer in a million dollar mansion is in touch with America? Is it because Obama says he is? Trust me, none of the front runners in these campaigns know what it's like to be middle class. You're kidding yourself if you really think Obama is any different.

Once again we have an Obamite who instead of addressing the issue at hand, turn the subject into an attack of McCain. You are the one out of touch with reality.

Like I said earlier I really don't care what McCain has or does it can never be worse than Barack Obama. I am getting so tired of hearing his name and I hope that he is not our next president.

I could not believe my ears when I heard Obama's rant about McCain's houses. He appears so confident that he won't be challenged, at least by the mainstream media. He's probably right. They are SO in love with him that they have adopted Obama's book as the entire basis for critiquing his life. How absurd is that? Meanwhile, there is so much about this man we don't know, and the media and those who blindly love him don't care. And if someone like Fox News or a conservative news source points out his foibles, they're called racist or right-wing propagandists. Weird.
