He did redeem himself financially by divorcing one wife, then marrying an heiress. Sweet!<BR/><BR/>Obama came from extremely modest circumstances, but graduated summa cum laude from Harvard.<BR/><BR/>Of course they are exactly equivalent as the ever delightful Ms. Malkin suggests so delicately.<BR/><BR/>Except Obama would be able to tell you how many houses he owns.<BR/><BR/>But McCain sure isn't an elitist.

Mrs. Malkin says:<A HREF="http://michellemalkin.com/2008/08/21/wealthy-elitist-obama-attacks-wealthy-elitist-mccain/" REL="nofollow">Wealthy elitist Senator mauls wealthy elitist Senator. Snooze.</A> and goes on to quote a McCain spokesman as saying:<BR/><BR/><I>Does a guy who made more than $4 million last year, just got back from vacation on a private beach in Hawaii and bought his own million-dollar mansion with the help of a convicted felon really want to get into a debate about houses? Does a guy who worries about the price of arugula and thinks regular people “cling” to guns and religion in the face of economic hardship really want to have a debate about who’s in touch with regular Americans?</I><BR/><BR/>Like I say, I think McCain's an elitist, too, but Obama's never going to be able to win on this. McCain's wealthy wife owns a <I>beer distributorship</I>, for cryin' out loud. Mainstream America digs that kind of thing.Savage Baptisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14366893048089380061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-460674773445742325.post-46077940081101617322008-08-21T14:36:00.000-06:002008-08-21T14:36:00.000-06:00MULTI HOUSING FAMILYThough the wealth is both his ...MULTI HOUSING FAMILY<BR/><BR/>Though the wealth is both his and his spouse's,<BR/>And he fancies he's close to the throne,<BR/>Politicians who live in glass houses<BR/>Should be briefed on how many they own.<BR/><BR/>www.newsandverse.com<BR/>Light verse, ripped from the headlinesKevin Piercehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11795293895032323160noreply@blogger.com
