John McCain To World - I'm Such a Baller I've Forgetten How Many Houses I Own

The other day the good folks over at Politico asked Republican presidential candidate John McCain how many houses he owned. McCain, being the good politician that he is, refused to answer the question and actually deferred to his campaign staff. He prolly just forgot how big of a baller he is and didn't want to lie on record. Check below to hear the audio.
Of course, I'm not surprised by this. I'm not a super baller, but I've kicked it with ballers and dudes who generally have a lot of money before. People like McCain always lose track of how they're balling. I mean, have you ever tried to count to a million! It's not easy!!! And John McCain is waaaaaay more than a millionaire. Not only can he make it rain, but his wife is also filthy rich. Her pops left her a whole lot of money from his beer empire. I think she is sort of like an older version of Paris Hilton.
I guess the Obama campaign figured that McCain's answer makes him seem out of touch with the voters because they've actually produced a commercial to attack McCain for being a baller. (Check the YouTube video below.) I can sort of see why the Obama campaign thinks attacking McCain is a good strategy, but I think it could come off as a little insensitive to all the old rich white men who vote. You can't deny that old dudes like McCain have a whole lot of influence and should never be taken lightly. After all, they've been running the world for such a long time I'm sure a lot of them have lost track of how balling they are too.
Maybe Obama should be a little more forgiving.

Yeah, that douche Obama is a lot better (cough, cough)
He had chi-town’s worst slum lord & current felon buy his 2 million dollar house for him…
In exchange, he gave the sum lord $14 million in taxpayer money.
Hate on those stealing from YOU to benefit themselves (Obama)?
Hate on those who work for their money (McCain)?
Yeah, Obama stole directly from YOU to "buy" his house.
-----------------
And if you think Obama is going to “save our community”, you must also think the world is flat.
Obama’s BROTHER is living off $1 a MONTH.
Yes, Obama made $4 million last year alone, yet, his own brother lives in Africa on $1/MONTH.
Dude could give his brother $100 and he’d be set for a decade, but he won’t do that!
What makes you think he’s gonna help you?
BTW… Obama WILL raise YOUR taxes.
He plans on heavily taxing coal & natural gas…
Meaning he’s going to heavily tax you ELECTRIC & HEATING bill (aka your WALLET).
-----------------
And... If it matters, and I'm guessing it won't... none of those houses are in John McCain's name. They belong to his wife and her charities + his wife's children. It's like attributing all your families assets to your grandmother.
MR.REALITY THANK YOU FOR SPEAKING THE TRUTH ABOUT OBAMA. PEOPLE ARE JUST LETTING THAT LAND DEAL SLIDE BUT THEY SHOULDN'T. MCCAIN 08!!!!!!!!!!
AND I DON'T THINK IT WAS A BIG DEAL THAT HE FORGOT HOW MANY HOUSES HE HAS THERE ARE BIGGER ISSUES THAN THIS. BUT THIS IS ALL OBAMA HAS ON HIM SO HE WENT WITH IT.
To MIXED CHICC/ MR. REALITY - i believe you 2 are part of Mccain's Entourage! OBAMA 08 y'all! I'm sure both of you are white folks..lol. Give it up. Obama is winning this one, only if y'all decide to kill Him.
WELL I AM HALF WHITE. AND NO HE IS NOT GONNA WIN THIS ONE SO GET YOU'RE FACTS STRAIGHT. AND I'D RATHER BE PART OF MCCAIN ENTOURAGE THAN OBAMA ENTOURAGE WHICH INCLUDES TERORIST AND CONVICTED FELONS AND THAT CRAZY PASTOR REV. WRIGHT.
Majority of the U.s populatn is for OBAMA, dont you know that? and you're half white half wat?? Let's talk on a messenger??
How the hell did McCain work for his money? The only thing he "worked" was a young, rich Cindy while his then wife (whom he later divorced for Cindy) was on her deathbed dying.
That dude DID NOT buy Barack's home. Michelle was still working making 100,000's at her job, while Barack made a little over 2 mill from his book deal from that book he released in 2006.
If you think McCain won't raise taxes, you're an idiot!
And his brother is a grown ass man. He doesn't have to take care of him. Besides, how do you know his brother even asked for his help?
If you're going to say something, know what you're talking about. Don't speak half-truths, don't speculate, and definitely don't believe/repeat all the BS the right wongers tell you. It's right wingers like Mini Bush (McCain) that got us in the predicament our country is in now!

Obama is a radical and McCain is a moderate. Obama's "real" views go to far.
McCain is not bush he was booed at by Conservatives when he got the nod.
As McCain's campaign put it, I don't think Obama wants to get into a debate about houses when he purchased his crib wit the help of a convicted felon.
If you think McCain is some kind of flake just cuz he's got wealth, your a fool. His grandfather, father, and himself fought in the military. McCain himself was captured by the Viet Kong and imprisoned and tortured for 5FIVE YEARS. FIVE YEARS. (Two of the years he was locked in solitary confinement by the way, and not talkin an American prison solitary confinement here).
As far as McCain being out of touch with America's economic problems supposedly, it's really Obama who is out of touch with the average Americans economic problems. He and Democrats refuse to access offshore oil even those outside of Anwar because of outdated superstitions about oil companies ruining the environment: despite sky high oil prices, and despite vastly improved drilling technology and environmentally friendly policies that oil companies have adopted. "We will not see a drop for 10 years" is completely irrelevant and misleading, when everyone knows that the price of oil and oil futures will plummet as soon as these offshore bans are lifted without the oil companies even lifting a finger. Not to mention he and other Democrats falsely claim that "we are in a recession" when WE ARE NOT IN A RECESSION. The definition of a recession is a shrinking economy. The U.S. economy continues to grow despite all the problems we're having.
The tax cuts are good because they give money back to poor and middle class Americans who need it and buy products and the tax cuts give money back to rich people who invest back into the economy. Obama wishes to play class warfare and take the tax cuts away from rich people. Even if you may think rich people are evil like Obama, you have to recognize rich people do not put their money under a mattress or some secret underground lair. Money rots unless it's invested. $1 mil today is worth more than $1 mil tomorrow because of inflation. Rich people invest their money. The tax cuts gives rich people more money to invest, which means more economic activity, more jobs, more prosperity. Obama doesnt understand this, or his socialist leanings will not allow him to believe it. I'm not sure why Obama thinks rich people are bad, when he is very rich himself.
