Did McCain really say this?

Question

I know this is a hard question to ask because it's kind of hard to determine, but I'm hoping someone has some information for me. Did McCain really tell interviewers, in response to a question about how many houses he and his wife owns, that he would have to get back to them on that? The only sites I've seen this reported on are not very credible, and the sound clip sounds almost fake. Here's one of the sites with the clip if you wanna hear: http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0808/12685.html

Anyway, just wondering if anyone has a more definitive answer for me. Thanks!

Answer 1

yes he said it.  

I see on here many are trying to just brush it off as a non issue but I think it's a big issue as many of us are just trying to get by with just one house McCain is not quite sure just how many he owns.

Out of touch

Obama 2008 !  

Answer 2

Another great example of class envy from the left.

Answer 3

I agree with gentle giant. One of those condos is in use by an aunt of cindys, at least one of their children lives in one of the houses. Its not like they just buy houses all over the country and just dont care. If they own some for rental purposes, why is that a big deal? I know alot of people who own a rental property or three. They live in one house, rent out the rest. Whats wrong with that? If he isnt directly involved with those properties why would he keep a count on em? Yes he did say that.  

Answer 4

Yes. McCain has about 7 homes/ condos. Most are his wife's. They have houses in Sedona and Phoenix Arizona, a ranch, a couple of condos in Virginia, and his daughter has a condo. If I had that much property, I don't know if I could have accurately answered th question either.  

Answer 5

McCain really did say it.  He is either forgetful or he is out of touch.

Answer 6

Ask John McCain or even someone working for him if it is a fake soundclip.

h**l ask fox news if you have to.

Do a news search for John McCain saying the sound clip was fake.

It's not fake

John's ability to lead a united America is what is fake.

Answer 7

Thanks Gentle Giant! Seems people keep attacking McCain for his and his wife's success and investment savy. Good for them! American dream if you ask me. My family has a rental estate and several properties. If you ask me how many houses we had, I'd have to guess. Does that make me ignorant? No it just means someone else handles the investments!

Answer 8

Yes, McCain said that and was right to do so.

McCain and Cindy own a number of condos which they bought for investment purposes and rent them out. Cindy's financial counselers handle the investments for them and McCain does not get involved.

McCain and Cindy own 3 houses for their own use.

Just as my next door neighbor has his primary residence here, a winter home in Florida and a cottage on the Lake Michigan shore for the summer.

They can afford it - so what?

Answer 9

Yup. It's true.

Answer 10

Yeah he said it, look a little harder for the clip.  

One more example of a guy who doesn't know much and worse doesn't care that he doesn't know what's going on.

Answer 11

Who cares

Obama said he was against wasgington insiders

Then he goes and name Joe Biden as his running mate

That concerns me more than how successful someone might be

Answer 12

Yeah, he really did say it. I'll try to find you a video of it from a "reliable" source.

VOTE OBAMA in '08! !
