Today it has been reported that John and Cindy McCain own thirteen (13) automobiles. Conversely, Barack and Michelle Obama own one (1) automobile.
Now to add insult to bullshit -
Why would anyone, including white folks, even think of voting for this character, John McCain? One-third of white Democrats are said to not trust a black man in office. WTF is that all about? What probably follows is (at least) two-thirds of Republicans don't trust a black man in office. What does this say about our country>One vehicle in the McCain fleet has caused a small flap. United Auto Workers president Ron Gettelfinger, an Obama backer, accused McCain this month of "flip-flopping" on who bought daughter Meghan's foreign-made Toyota Prius. McCain said last year that he bought it, but then told a Detroit TV station on Sept. 7 that Meghan "bought it, I believe, herself." (The McCain campaign did not respond to multiple requests for comment.)
Obama's lone vehicle also is a green machine, a 2008 Ford Escape hybrid. He bought it last year to replace the family's Chrysler 300C, a Hemi-powered sedan. Obama ditched the 300C, once 50 Cent's preferred ride, after taking heat for driving a guzzler while haranguing Detroit about building more fuel-efficient cars.
McCain's personal ride, a 2004 Cadillac CTS, is no gas sipper, but it should make Detroit happy because it's made by General Motors. "I've bought American literally all my life and I'm proud," McCain said in the interview with Detroit's WXYZ-TV. But the rest of his fleet is not all-American. There's a 2005 Volkswagen convertible in the garage along with a 2001 Honda sedan. Otherwise, there's a 2007 half-ton Ford pickup truck, which might come in handy on the Sedona ranch; a vintage 1960 Willys Jeep; a 2008 Jeep Wrangler; a 2000 Lincoln; and a 2001 GMC SUV. The McCains also own three 2000 NEV Gem electric vehicles, which are bubble-shaped cars popular in retirement communities.
Only the Cadillac is registered in the candidate's name. Cindy McCain's name is on 11 vehicles, though not the one she actually drives. That car, a Lexus, is registered to her family's beer-distributor business and is outfitted with personalized plates that read MS BUD.

We would more likely prefer a white John McCain, that is a proven, beyond doubt, flip-flopper from one subject to another and one side to the other... this to (so-far) a man, Barack Obama, who continues to side with one side only, the one he originally began the campaigning with.
McCain is so old that the only running he can do is for political office... and not a proven winner in that regard.He seems to run away from the facts and the truths of his original beliefs.
Now we have the Wall Street crisis - deregulation encouraged by McCain and many others now flipping to regulatory actions. Anything to get a vote. McCain claiming he has the answers to this crisis (and do you think Palin has a clue..?) is a total and complete lie. He has no more of a clue than you or I. The overpaid multi-millionaires of Wall St can't even tell you what's next or how to correct the massive problem. This whole mess needs to be thought out and debated for weeks if not months to reach any valid conclusions. But our Bush... he wants the bailout approved immediately... right now! along with his administration. You know McCain will go right along with it.
Amazing! Sixty days till the election. The first McCain/Obama debate is this week. Should be interesting. Neither side can afford a gaff. All eyes should be watching.
