Sometimes I wish these threads wouldn't get so lengthy so quickly. It's so hard to jump in after a few pages and reply to everything.  |
So if I were to inherit a ton of money, that would make me not wealthy, even though I had...a ton of money?
And this isn't about him having money, it's about about being out of touch with reality because of it.
@Prof S. your post didn't point out a single thing McCain has done or said to prove he -is- in touch with reality, you just pushed my points to the side as "quoting Obama's ads", and said McCain was admirable.
I fail to see how him not being able to answer the simple question of "do you think this is right or wrong" makes him admirable. I think it makes him crooked.
And yeah, I could quote some Obama ads, like the one that has John McCain saying "Our economy isn't headed to a recession", but I know -that- one was taken out of context, his house comment was not.
And I'm sure McCain though "Well, if you taken into consideration that everything got REALLY bad after 9/11, then greatly improved, and if I word things just right, I can say that the economy improved." Seriously Professor, you're amazing with facts, but I think you're terrible at reading peoples intentions.
And the difference? Obama can actually pull of being cool, and everyone knows who Ludacris is. No one knows who Daddy Yankee is. They may be doing the same thing, but McCain is obvious that he isn't really comfortable in the situation, and he's just doing it because some campaign manager said it was a good idea.
