McCain Team Responds: Obama Lives In A Gigantic Castle!

obama_masion.jpg
Children, please. Even better than this response to the Obama campaign's understandable mockery of John McCain's many domiciles is spokesman Brian Rogers' defense of the Republican nominee's multiple dwellings:

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. The reality is they have four that actually could be considered houses they could use.
Only four? Well why didn't you say so in the first place? That's much more relatable. Also? "This is a guy who lived in one house for five and a half years—in prison."

Ah, yes, the classic response to the trauma of captivity: going large on real estate.

McCain must be gaining. Suddenly the folks who insisted on "substance" are pulling out the stops. Exactly who was it again that said that poor people could run for President? Oh yes, NOBODY. The wording of the original question was so ambiguous as to be laughable. We once would ignore a moron who asked if you had stopped beating your wife.Not we read his blog. Pathetic.

Even better -- now McCain's camp is saying that McCain didn't know because he was a POW. What?

I live in my parent's basement and even I don't think Obama's house is a castle, let alone a mansion. And yeah, not knowing how many properties you own offhand MEANS YOU SHOULD NOT BE LEADING THIS RECESSED AND UNEMPLOYED COUNTRY. Unless of course you use your power to get us all rich heiresses to cheat with and then marry.
