    love how McCain tried to use Obama having a fundraiser in Hollywood with celebrities tonight in his rounds today, even though McCain did the same a month or two ago, celebrities included, at a Beverly Hills hotel.

    it's irrelevant

    McCain is a clown, so is Obama. I just don't like any of them. I think it's a joke the way they have supporters who will excuse anything they do or say.

    Obama can talk about attacking Iran, and his supporters, these same people who were against Bush for talking tough will back Obama saying the same things. Then they run around screaming "change! change!" Like a drunk homeless person.

    McCain has seven houses and is worth millions...

    Obama has one house and it not worth even close to a million dollars.

    Who cares? It doesnt effect there ability to lead so the whole right trying to paint him as an elitist is bullshit, and hypocritical.

    ... funny McCain called attention to this ... do you really think there aren't a line of heavy hittiers in the Oil biz not doing the EXACT same thing?

    Just because Johnny Ohio and Sally Pennsylvania know who Barbara Streisand is and have no effing clue who the oil baroons are doesn't make McCain holier than thou ....

    McCain has turned into such a lying doooosh ... he really is selling his soul for this presidency.

    A lot of that wealth comes from his wife's family business. They are the 3rd biggest distributors of Anheiser Bush. ALso I would like to compare Obama to McCains wealth when he was Obamas age.

    but the issue is they are both running for president at the same point in time ... pointing out mccain's weatlh when he was younger doesn't make sense ... he's running for president NOW ...

    remember, McCain even said during the service debate on 9/11 that's he's divorced from the day to day issues with everyday Americans.

    Exactly it doesn't really matter, but I need to just quickly point out that a few news reports on Obama talked about himself building a home worth around a million dollars. But if it's true or not, again, that does not matter.

    BTW McCain invented the blackberry, as in the cell phone. lmao!

    He was married to his rich wife when he was 47. So he had millions and millions. Unless his wife told him he had to spend his own money, or put him on a tight allowance. ;)

    McCain was at a fundraiser where he raised $5million in Miami just the night before Obama's. :rolleyes: I guess his celebrity friends pockets aren't quite as deep. He been such a hypocrite throughout this campaign.

    i thought obama bought his house for over a million?

    but it is kinda funny what the republicans said about kerry marrying into money and owning so many houses...

    i think the "issue" is that it was a fundraiser with streisand, leo dicaprio, will ferrell, chris rock, etc in the crowd. whatever with me, it helped obama raise $11 million bucks.

    weird that mccain's fundraisers don't get press like this. i guess corporate lobbyists aren't all that newsworthy.
