When A reporter asked John McCain how many houses he has John "everyman" had to think about it and then his answer was I'll have to have one of my staff members get back to you. Are you kidding me!!!!!! He is such an elitist that he doesn't even know the number of houses he has. I don't know about you but I can count how many houses I have lived in on one hand. Hey but maybe his is not an elitist maybe he is losing his memory old age will do that to you.

I agree Speech 100%
I have said for years that the politicans sit over their $250. lunch plate discussing how we can afford to live on $5.85 or $7.50 minimum wage while we make less in one week than that lunch plate.

I go through the store

1 bag of potatoes
1 bag of onions
1 pk of peppers
1 bag of carrots
=
1 hour pay

1 package of hot dogs
1 package of buns
1 can of baked beans
1 mustard
=
1 hour pay

1 gallon of milk
1 doz eggs
1 package of cheese
1 margarine
=
1 hour pay

1 roast
=
1 hour pay

1 laundry soap
=
1 hour pay

gas to get back home

1 days pay GONE!

What the left is good at is despising the rich until they get their hands on the rich's endowments and charitable organizations the rich establish .Does anyone really think that Walter Annenberg really intended that his $500 million Annenberg challenge would be administered by a former member of the Weather Underground and his "community organizer" compadre ?
Ford would turn over in his grave knowing what the Ford Foundation has become.

I'm not sure I could buy a roast for an hours pay unless it's on sale. Don't forget, Madame Pelosi upgraded the House cafeteria so they can now have locally grown organic bok choy and arugula, Chesapeake rockfish and cumin-scented leg of lamb for lunch while I eat my $3.00 frozen dinner or 79 cent chili cheese dogs from Weinerschnitzel.

It does bring back memories though, back to the days of John Kerry and John Edwards having their Wendy's fries before grabbing their 19 five-star lunches to go from Nikola's Restaurant & Bistro at the Newburgh Yacht Club...now if Obama can just get back to that 57th state maybe he could finish his waffle.

Yeah the roast I buy is like barely enough to feed my son and then I eat the hot dogs.
He gets the left over hot dogs for lunch the next day.

Obama may have accidentally said "57 states" but McCain does much more

He has the interview edited!

Lets not forgot John McCain is the one who called Obama an Elitist during the primaries. And last time I checked the race is between Obama and McCain and funny enough Obama did not make your list. So the republicans had no problem calling Obama an elitist but now that it is proven that McCain is actually the elitist we are grasping at straws for saying that. Please explain to me how that works?????

Please if you have a chance look at the Aug 14th edition of the wall street journal they compared both Obama and McCain's tax plans. Read that and tell me who is hurting the little guy. McCain wants to treat money you payout to insurance as taxable cash. Oh and of course give the wealthy another Tax break. Really nice

he brought the elitist comments on himself by going to a meeting of Hollywierd elitists and demeaning the working class of small town America as " bitter" etc.

So let's see I ask a simple question and I get all these answers except the answer to my question. Lets try again Obama has 1 house McCain doesn't actually know how many places he has to live so He has to ask a staff member and the staff member says 4. Who is the elitist? Here I will help you all out. McCain is the elitist.

Oh and beside's according to McCain if you do not make 5 million dollars you are not rich. Obama's 07 tax return showed he AND his wife made a combined 4.2 million so according to McCain Obama is not rich either. Boy talk about an elitist.

I looked at a different article, which said he owns 7 properties!

"Newsweek estimated this summer that the couple owns at least seven properties"

McCain unsure how many houses he owns - Jonathan Martin and Mike Allen - Politico.com

Elitist is an attitude ;not material wealth .
