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.

No, my comments were to show you how your eviudence for his being out of touch are pretty erediculous. Happening to be rich and have houses isn't proof that anyone is out of touch. About the source of his wealth, there is a big difference in formative experience between someone who grows up with ealth and someone who grew up an army brat, spent five years as a POW and nearly 30 serving his nation, most of the time relying only on his salary as a Senator.

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.

No, it doesn't. The question was crooked, silly and not justified by any background. If your asked a question when the questions assumes facts that you don't know are correct, why would you answer it? What context is being omitted in this obviously biased question?

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.

Our ecomomy isn't headed into a recession. Its had positive growth every quarter for as long as I can remember and went up over 3% last querter. if you think that means we're headed towards a recession, you don't know what a recession is.

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 I think you take things the way you want to view them. I already stated my issue with McCain's second statement was that he pandered. No question about it. He should have stuck to his guns and made the bold and risky statement of truth, and thats the fact that we're not in a recession, we are doing better that we were in the early 2000's instead of quibbling over whether it was 2000 or 2001. The economy was terrible all through the early00's and the fact is we ARE doing much better today even during our slow down.

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.

Well I'm glad Obama can pull off being cool. I suppose you can excuse someone for panswering when they "pull it off" but not when they can't? Thats like saying its ok to steal if you get away with it.

Opinions olike this only show complete bias. Its ok for one candidate and not for the other because you like one and not the other... good for you.

I wish both candidates wouldn't do it. Its insulting but unfortunately deemed necessary in today's political climate.
