Title made me think this was going to be a joke about his age.

Me too.

"Here's ONE house American can't afford to let John McCain move into."

Hahaha, that gave me some lulz.

I immediately had a vision of McCain as some house-gobbling monster, buying every house across America until he got to the White House.

Could make a cool WiiWare game.

Yeah, title is meant to be misleadingly on topic.

i dont see what ones financial situation has to do with this. he doesnt act elitist the way obama does. so it wont really matter if mccain owns 50 houses.

If i don't know how many houses I own. Sure as hell it's a grave matter. Currently counting at zero. Not too hard to keep track atm.

I wish I lost count of the amount of houses I own... But I don't even own one because I rent

Politicians in every country, and in every state are out of touch with people, they have the power, the wealth, connections so i don't know how anyone can see Obama as an outsider or a revolutionary in that sense.

Plus whats wrong with owning loads of properties?

That's because you don't have a billionaire wife who has like 15 different trusts that may or may not be considered you owning them.

Nothing. That is a big problem for this argument. Obama is criticizing a man for owning too much stuff. So when should we start regulating how many houses a person can own? It is a principle element of freedom to own property. Criticizing the ownership of property (in a non-monopolistic setting) is foolish. Obama tippied his hand, he wants to tax everybody into equality, like a Communist Government tries to. Only problem with that is somebody is always above others. It is either due to Political Favors/Connections or Hard Work. I prefer Hard Work.
