McCain is Financial Secure by marrying money
John McCain and the Cindy Hensley McCain Trust parade of homes.
The home they sold in 2006 was Cindy's parents home she inherited. It sold for $3.2 million. The home sat on 2.7 acres, and had the following: 13 bedrooms, 14 1/2 bathrooms, 7 car garage, and 10 fireplaces. It had 15,000 square foot of living space.
The Architectural Digest did a review of one of thier homes in 2005. Most likely this home.
No one is sure if they own 7, 8 or even more homes. All properties are listed in the name of Cindy Hensley McCain Trust.

John McCain met Cindy when he was still married to his first wife. He was out looking for a replacement since his first wife was in a car accident and was no longer the beautiful model he had married. He was divorced in 1980 and married Cindy that same year.
american fever
what happened to mc cain is not unsual.
he is forgetful?
what do you think of someone talking of obama as lacking experience?
what experience had Christ to take on the highly religious jews,saducees and the pharisees?
what experience had a 30yr-old man to preace a change admist the warlords who had lived on war all their lifes?
what experience had a Man that effected a change that changed the whole world?
Americans are highly forgetful; Mac cain isn'nt just an exemption.
about war and shedding of blood;
if you really care to know why he favors it.
then read further about CAIN in the book of Genesis.
reality not rascality
to be at peace with the rest of the world is knowing what is needed and doing it as a nation. warmongers are rascals.
the likes of abraham lincoln, jf kennedy, bill clinton ,to mention a few, never displayed rascality but pure reality by addressing the needs of majority not of the few bougeios who could not keep count of their properties and investments.
messiahs are never appreciated though but thank God that americans grapped the hint at this point . i wish posterity will not adjudge us worse than the jews who hang their own when they ought to have needed him most.
they are both rich,who cares
I don't have a problem with the McCain's spending their fortune any way they please. They are filthy rich I'm not, it sucks but true. My problem is that McCain has been for some time attacking Obama with the idea that Obama is an elitist snob that is out of touch with working class Americans. Did McCain ever here the advice, "those that live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones." McCain is as out of touch with working class Americans as anyone in Washington. I believe Obama and his wife while being wealthy now have a better understanding of middle class Americans than the McCain's do.
and what the heck does being a POW have to do with him owning a ton of houses.....
McCain and Houses
found an article by Charlotte Laws on this. it offers a different perspective. opinion editorial news

The most telling thing about this housing gaffe is how McCain has chosen to deal with it. He is using the tried and true, Noun, Verb, and POW as his response. When are the MSM going to jump on the fact that McCain is as deep as a puddle and uses his POW status above ALL ELSE to promote his candidacy. It's how he got his Senate seat in the first place (that and leaving his wife and kids for a wealthy heiress) and it's how he's attempting to win the presidency. It's not enough folks. Being a POW isn't a qualification for president.
McCain and his Houses
I believe Cindy McCain is the money manager in the McCain Family.....and a bright one !!! Why shoud McCain care
how she spends her money.
Now that Obama and Michelle are new millionaires they may be looking for more ways to keep their resources. Are they ready to pay some capital gains. How much did the Obamas recieve
in the in the George Bush economic stimulas ...maybe about
$1800 dollars .
The stopover Obama will make in Kansas City to discuss American Airlines layoffs....... maybe the big AFLCIO war chest he recieved should have been used to help pay for the housing for the out of work AA folks, and all the union workers who have lost their jobs.
How many houses is enough?
McCain is the 21st century version of Marie Antoinette. He is out-of-touch with everyday people.
Even Marie Antoinette knew enough to give the cake away, while McCain and Bush just ate it while Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans.
McCain's Houses
Ok John didn't know how many houses he and Cindy own.
Funny - BIDEN "didn't know" his home COULD NOT BE SOLD TO BLACKS
I don't think his deed even made exceptions if they were clean articulate blacks

But it was OK because Biden was ignorant of the facts.
Houses, Names or Who is where on the Ticket?
Are you not even slightly questioning how someone can spend 35 years in the Senate with a current salary of $165,000 (same when adjusted for inflation back 35 years) could not find a way to save more than $150,000. His house(s) has to have appreciated that much!
He is either a lier or the worst money manager in the Senate!!
Did Obama forget who was first on the ticket or was that some acid flash back of forgetfulness
from his youth? Age isn't the only think that appears to affect memory! But possibly his teleprompter was turned off!
Did Joe Biden forget Barack's last name? At least he didn't call him Osama like Ted Kennedy!
Joe Biden and Barack are wrong. Obama was raised by his well to do grandparents (VP of Bank of Hawaii) in multicultural Hawaii attending Punahoe Prep school (most elite and expensive in Hawaii!). He was not raised by his starving green stamp hording SINGLE MOTHER. She let her parents raise both her kids! Of course that is, regrettably, in keeping with the current black family experience in this country.
