Answer 1

and my great-grandmother's family helped with the Underground Railroad (true!) . So what? Do you think that says anything about me? If we all had to account for our ancestors' transgressions we would all be in prison. Good luck with your witch hunt.

Answer 2

Your great great great grandparents were probably slave owners too.  I'm half German and there is a possibility that my ancestors were n***s..also the possibility that my great great grandfather had slaves too.  What does this have to do with the price of tea in China?  What I'm saying is the fact that his great great grandfather may or may not have had slaves is irrelevant and has nothing to do with how many homes the man has.  Why does everyone keep bringing up this ridiculous c**p?  Barack Obama is rich too, but you don't see us saying om gosh he's got money!! Let's ask fifty million stupid questions about it to make ourselves look smarter & superior.  Actually bringing that up so much may backfire on you.  Does it not show that McCain is obviously very good with money?

Answer 3

My great great great great great grandfather was Otto The Great of Prussia.  He was a czar, but that don't make me one, and it don't make me Prussian.  So no, he is just successful is all.

Edit:  Funny you concentrate so hard on semantics and completely miss the point.  No wonder the democrats are in trouble.

Answer 4

You Obama supporters are getting more and more lame with each post.

Care to explain how his great, great grandfather is relevant in any way other than historical trivia?

Answer 5

did he ever hang out with terrorist ayers or the hate america crowd?everybody owned slaves then and it was mccains party that set them free.the jack-*** is the democrats mascot and i now know why.

Answer 6

Owning a home does not equate to owning a human life.

However, hopefully both know how many of each they owned.

Answer 7

John and Cindy call their workers butlers and servants.

They employ a large number of butlers and servants to care for their 10 houses.
