Mama McCain is an oil heiress? Anyone know about this?

Question

I'm referring to McCains MOTHER..not his wife.

Answer 1

She's actually a beer heiress.  Her father founded Hensley and Co.

Edit: My mistake.  Nothing says GOP like old oil money and a nice little legacy admission to college.

Answer 2

I knew about it. The family is a consorcium of oil, beer ,real estate.and air plane production.If he wins then the sky is the limit

Answer 3

Yes, I read that too. This part is truly revealing

"His mother, a wealthy oil heiress, has been described as “the Auntie Mame of Navy wives.” The family still chuckles about the day she went on an errand to buy a new dress, and came home with a new Mercedes instead."

No connection to the common people whatsoever

Answer 4

Yes I was aware of it.  Like father like son.  Further proof the apple doe not fall far from the tree, Adm Poppy McCain was the guy that the led the cover up of the attack on the USS Liberty.  He worked real hard to keep those sailors from getting recognition that they received their wounds in combat and to deny war related death benefits for those killed.  Sound familiar?

Answer 5

$HE'S RICH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 6

But She was not wealthy enough so  that McCain inherited very much. We know from financial statements that most of his money is from his wife. However  there was never a time in his life when he had to worry about money, and his recent statements about  what rich means show he doesn't  have a clue what money means to the rest of us, or how it feels to struggle  to pay bills.. This  may also account for his lack of interest in  economic questions throughout is political career.

"Though the family lived on Jack's salary, Roberta Wright McCain was born to wealth. Her father struck oil in the Southwest as a young man, made his fortune, and retired at forty, soon after Roberta and her identical twin, Rowena, were born. "I've accomplished more than most men ever accomplish," he told his wife. "I've just had twin daughters, and I'm going to stay home and enjoy my family." He never worked another day in his life. Instead, as his daughters were growing up, he took them to school, escorted them to the theater, delivered them to dancing class."

Answer 7

Yes I know this. More proof McCain has no idea of the life of everyday U.S. citizens. Total disconnect.
