First Housegate, Now Cargate
Poor John McCain (not). First he can't remember how many house he (Cindy) owns and now he doesn't know what he drives. LOL
Flashback: McCain didn’t know what kind of car he drove.»
snip:
"In our News interview, he was asked what kind of car he drove. As with Politico’s question about home ownership, he didn’t know and had to ask a nearby aide. “A Cadillac CTS,” she told him. But then the senator was quick to point out that he had bought his daughter a Prius — the prefect (sic) halo symbol for his green pretensions. […]"

Speaking of Housegate, did you all happen to catch his reply to Katy Courick when she asked him how he could possibly not remember how many homes he owns?
He immediately turned it into a platform to once again praise himself for his military background, and, even went so far as to use his wife's father's military background to justify their good fortune. One of the comments "I spent a number of years without a kitchen table and chair..."
Cheeze.

He uses that for everything it’s a great way to shut down the conversation. I have a news flash for McCain, he is not the only POW that this Country has, he is not the only POW that was tortured. Some of our POW’s never came home.
There are too many HOMELESS vets in this Country.
http://www1.va.gov/homeless/page.cfm?pg=1About one-third of the adult homeless population have served their country in the Armed Services. Current population estimates suggest that about 154,000 veterans (male and female) are homeless on any given night and perhaps twice as many experience homelessness at some point during the course of a year. Many other veterans are considered near homeless or at risk because of their poverty, lack of support from family and friends, and dismal living conditions in cheap hotels or in overcrowded or substandard housing.
Right now, the number of homeless male and female Vietnam era veterans is greater than the number of service persons who died during that war -- and a small number of Desert Storm veterans are also appearing in the homeless population. Atlthough many homeless veterans served in combat in Vietnam and suffer from PTSD, at this time, epidemiologic studies do not suggest that there is a causal connection between military service, service in Vietnam, or exposure to combat and homelessness among veterans. Family background, access to support from family and friends, and various personal characteristics (rather than military service) seem to be the stronger indicators of risk of homelessness.
Almost all homeless veterans are male (about three percent are women), the vast majority are single, and most come from poor, disadvantaged backgrounds. Homeless veterans tend to be older and more educated than homeless non-veterans. But similar to the general population of homeless adult males, about 45% of homeless veterans suffer from mental illness and (with considerable overlap) slightly more than 70% suffer from alcohol or other drug abuse problems. Roughly 56% are African American or Hispanic.
While I respect McCain for his service to his Country I absolutely resent his use of his POW status in this manner.
Whoops.
John McCain's home count up: Eight
DENVER - Here in the Big Tent of the Democratic Party, they're having no end of fun counting the homes of Republican Sen. John McCain.
The morning news brings word that the count is up: Eight.
Politico.com, which is where this conversation started - when McCain was asked how many homes he owns and he couldn't say - reports that initially it found seven when it made its own count. But now it has found a third condominium owned by the McCains in Phoenix, so that makes eight.

PASS THE KETCHUP
I seem to recall, not too long ago, Obama couldn't remember how many States in the Union........
Oh, he may have meant to say 57 primaries, but he said "57 States", but you just have to dwell on this.

I couldn't care less how many houses a Presidential candidate owns. I do care that a candidate knows how many states there are. Actually, I think Obama simply misspoke but it is just as or more relevant as the non-issue of candidate house ownership.

I know how much a gallon of gas cost, it's too much.
However, a candidate for President should be able to articulate clearly to Americans,how many States are in our Union.....
I will dwell on that, in fact, consider it pertinate!:eek:

Those who are loosing their homes will and do care RH. Its very relevent to what is going on in this Country. So we can agree to disagreeracehorse wrote: I couldn't care less how many houses a Presidential candidate owns.
Edit...one more thing the fact that he continues to lie about it, isn't helpful either. Heard them just this morning say it was only 4 houses again.

guys, lets get real.
do you honestly believe that bo DOES NOT KNOW HOW MANY STATES ARE IN THE US? i know, i know, he had the moment during the campaign. i've heard it ad nauseum. do you really believe it more likely that he doesn't know or that he simply misspoke?
if you can't see that there's a huge difference in misspeaking and actually admitting that you don't even know how many houses you own nor what type of new cadillac you're being driven around in, then i don't know what else to say.

Let's get real.
We got one candidate that may not be able to remember recent history
and another who may not be able to convey a knowledge American history.
