Barack Obama, thinking he has a winner with class envy, has released an ad about John McCain's houses. The faux outrage generators are cranking full steam, that Obama is "Shocked! Shocked!" that McCain and his heiress wife might own more real estate than the average American. But, it may be that half of all McCain's houses combined may be worth one John Edwards McMansion!, and certainly less than the combined real estate holdings of John F. and Theresa Heinz Kerry!
WASHINGTON – From a sailing mecca to a ski resort, presumptive Democrat nominee John Kerry and his wife, Teresa Heinz Kerry, enjoy the trappings of their wealth in at least five homes and vacation getaways across the country valued at nearly $33 million.
Some are private escapes for the family, and others serve as prime spots to host fund-raisers and exclusive gatherings for wealthy donors. All reflect the couple's status - he is a four-term U.S. senator; she is heiress to the $500 million family ketchup fortune - with breathtaking vistas, elegant furnishings and enclosures that protect the property from prying eyes.
At least five??? What's the matter, John? Don't you know???
Where was all this class envy from the Dems when John Kerry was their nominee?
Plus, as to houses, Mark Hemingway points out:
Obama bought his with help from someone who was just found guilty of six counts of wire fraud, six counts of mail fraud, two counts of corrupt solicitation, and two counts of money laundering.
Of course, if I had Obama's thin resume, carefully hidden track record and inability to speak without a teleprompter, I'd do anything to cast attention away from myself, too!
