McCain's Wealth a Liability

Remember way back when John McCain was trying desperately to frame Obama as an 'elitist'? Well looks like that whole thing is gonna come back and bite McCain in the ass. He opened himself up to this when McCain was asked by a reporter 'How many homes to you own' and McCain had no idea, the McCain's own so many its hard to keep track. But check out this.

"In her recent Vogue interview, conducted from the newer Coronado condo, McCain explained that her husband, a Navy veteran, initially wasn’t keen on the idea of a pied-à-terre in Coronado.

"When I bought the first one, my husband, who is not a beach person, said, 'Oh, this is such a waste of money; the kids will never go,'” she told Vogue. “Then it got to the point where they used it so much I couldn't get in the place. So I bought another one.”

Through her trusts and other corporate entities, Cindy McCain also owns another three properties: a scenic ranch outside Sedona, Ariz., where John McCain has entertained staff, prospective running mates and political reporters; a three-bedroom Arlington, Va., condo that’s been John McCain’s Washington-area residence since 1993 and the La Jolla, Calif., condo on which the back taxes were due.

The McCains increased their budget for household employees from $184,000 in 2006 to $273,000 in 2007, according to John McCain’s tax returns."

That first part is priceless talking about the house:

"Then it got to the point where they used it so much I couldn't get in the place. So I bought another one.”

Isn't it wonderful that the McCains are so fabulously wealthy that when one of their vacation houses..oh I'm sorry their "pied-à-terre" gets to crowded they just buy another. This is the real kicker though:

" The McCains increased their budget for household employees from $184,000 in 2006 to $273,000 in 2007, according to John McCain’s tax returns."

Yeah they spend over a quarter of a million dollars a year on household servants! This is of course the Republicans goal, to create a class of uber-elites like the McCains and have all us normal Americans work as their household servants. George Bush started the ball rolling and John McCain is going to try and finish us off.
