John McCain and Wealth

Poor John McCain. He apparently doesn't know how many houses he owns. No, he really doesn't know! I wonder how many "regular, non-celebrity" people have that same problem. John McCain also has a real problem defining wealth. And, it's not just that 5 million dollar quip he made the other day.

“I define rich in other ways besides income,” he said. “Some people are wealthy and rich in their lives and their children and their ability to educate them. Others are poor if they’re billionaires.”

Now the old guy may have a point....but imagine the uproar there would be if that celebrity Barack Obama had made such a remark.

It continues to amaze me that people are impressed with the likes of John McCain. Want to discuss evil? John McCain has only two words...."defeat it". Very nice, very understandable, fits on a bumper sticker so conservatives love the quip. No thinking involved, no real world analysis, no specifics....perfect!

McCain is so out of touch with reality that he makes GW Bush look like some sort of savant. This isn't straight talk, it's Reaganesque quiping.
