The McCains and"Their" Economy

The McCains own:

* 10 Properties. But 6 are investments and they can only live out of 4 homes.

McCain spokesman Brian Rogers: “The reality is they have some investment properties and stuff. It’s not as if he lives in ten houses. That’s just not the case,” Rogers said. “The reality is they have four that actually could be considered houses they could use.”

* 13 Cars. But John McCain himself is registered on only one.

What are the cars: 2004 Cadillac CTS, 2005 Volkswagen convertible, 2001 Honda sedan, 2007 Ford F-150 truck, 1960 Willys Jeep, 2008 Jeep Wrangler, 2000 Lincoln, 2001 GMC SUV, (3) 2000 NEV Gem electric vehicles, Toyota Prius (bought for the daughter). Cindy McCain mostly drives a Lexus which is registered to her family's beer business and has personalized plates that read "MS BUD." For more on Cars see: http://www.newsweek.com/id/160091

So is it any wonder that John McCain said on Meltdown Monday (9-15-08): "The fundamentals of our economy are strong." Because apparently, McCain's personal economy is quite strong. Unfortunately, that's not the case with the majority of Americans. McCain's comment (along with his inability to recall how many properties or cars the McCain's own) creates a picture of a candidate who has no grasp on the current state of our economy or even a grasp on what he owns. How can this man empathize with the rest of us?
