Obama raps McCain for ignorance of his own houses by Paulina Neshybova

In the last days a new faux pax was made by a presidential nominee Joh McCain, who did not know how many houses he and his family own. Of course, Barack Obama, hir rivla in the presidential campaign, just a while after that launched a new Tv ad which are highlighting McCains ignorance of his own housed and presenting him as an wealthy elitist. He hopes that this would be the information that will stick intio the voter´s minds and help him show that McCain has no idea about economy. Inthe history, there were such political faux pax, for example with president Bush, or Michael Dukakis and other. The Assosiated Press showed that McCain and his family own at least eight houses in various states,mainly Arizona and Colorado, but the number is not exact as some ranches contain houses in themselves, as well.
According to McCain, being reach means making at least $5 million a year. His tax returns showed that his total income in the year 2007 was $405,409 and the income of his wife, Cindy McCain was in the year 2006 about $6 million. Therefore, Obama suggested thta becuase of his big property, he can nor relate to ordinary people. However, Obama is neither poor.The total income of him and his wife was in 2007 $4.2 million. Obama accused McCai of thinking that economy us fundamental strong as he does not knoe the basci information about himself. But McCains campaign it to Obama making connetions with his friend and contributor, Tony Rezko, who was convicted in felonies in corruption.
Whatever the truth is, both candidates has big property and the battlefield about their houses, money, vacations and such things can be endless.
