Why does McCain own seven times more houses than Obama and he calls Obama an elitist?

Question

Why does McCain own seven times more houses than Obama and he calls Obama an elitist?

Answer 1

elitist is an attitude not just a wealth issue! Besides lets be truthful here, Obama had a convicted felony pay for his house!

Answer 2

Elitism is not marked by the number of people you employ in the housing industry. It is marked by your attitude.

Answer 3

Amen to that!  

Answer 4

McCain doesn't own any houses. His wife does.

Answer 5

McCain may own several properties, but he in no way flaunts his wealth or acts like an elitist.  

Answer 6

Arguing over which candidate has more money is pretty stupid.  They all have a h**l of a lot more than we do.  Which makes them all elitists to me.  I doubt the recession is bothering any of them.  Name one that doesn't act rich.

Answer 7

Being an elitist is a state of mind not finances.  

Answer 8

Why does Obama quote the bible about helping the poor, but wont help his own poverty stricken brother in Africa?

Answer 9

Owning seven houses is not a crime.  McCain has a wealthy wife, which also is not a crime.  Obama's elitism comes from statements like his gaffe in San Francisco, when he belittled the rural population of Pennsylvania.  He set himself and his cronies above the common man; that is elitism.  Success is not elitism.

Answer 10

He calls Obama an elitist because Obama has no clue, no roots in the American way of life, and makes disparaging remarks about 'simple' Americans.  He looks down on everyone and his ego causes him to be the elitist, not how many houses someone has.

McCain doesn't talk 'down' to people.  And what does it matter how many houses someone has?  This is America and more power to those who succeed.  Obama has plenty of money, but he acts like he's better than everyone because of his success.  McCain doesn't.

Answer 11

i don't live in the US, so I thought maybe I could give you a fly on-the-wall perspective from outside.

the rest of the world does not comprehend when the US is in such dire straits economically (cant deny it, they cose starbucks in my country the other week) they would want to vote in another republican to send the american economy even further up the creek without a paddle.

who cares who is richer and if elitist is a state of mind, the rest of the world can see that the US is going to make a big mistake by not having a change in government, as it is obvious it is needed to the rest of the world when will everyone there wake up and smell the bacon?

and the reason why they won't vote him in? they'll tell you its this lame reason, or that.. but truth is they are scared to have a black president... america's not ready, there is unfortunately still too many people with an ancient mindset..

if he is the best man for the job, let him have it!

Answer 12

Because McCain is old and senile.  Haven't you noticed the Republican's M.O.?  They will often state lies enough times that their sheep will start to believe them even if they know for a fact that they are untrue.  Look how they painted John Kerry (a REAL war hero I may add, not a traitor like John "I'll Tell You Everything You Want To Know" McCain).

Answer 13

Because his wife is worth a couple of hundred million dollars.

Btw, one only need listen to Obama to know he is an elitist.

Answer 14

Owning houses doesn't make you an ELITIST.

McCain calls Obama an elitist because... HE IS!

And MICHELLE has had the BEST of what AMERICA can offer it's citizens and - is clueless about it.

She's JUST NOW PROUD of AMERICA because her husband can pull the WOOL over some people's heads.
