"Out of touch with the lives of real Americans"
I'm sorry, but with remarks like this, Obama is asking for it: The Obama campaign is not backing down. "The fact that John McCain does not know how many houses he owns when millions are struggling to stay in the only house they have shows he's out of touch with the lives of real Americans," said Obama spokeswoman Linda Douglass Saturday afternoon."McCain is promising to double down on the economic policies of George W. Bush which have benefited corporations and CEO's while leaving middle-class families behind. John McCain just doesn't get it."I don't think Barack Obama is in any position to claim that McCain is "out of touch" for not knowing the details of his wife's investments off the top of his head. Perhaps he thinks the public's memory is so short that they've forgotten all about Obama's real estate dealings with Tony Rezko -- which Obama himself described as "bone-headed." Hmmm... OTOH, maybe he thinks the media memory is short. Here's how ABC reported it: Obama maintains his relationship with Rezko was "above board and legal" but has admitted bad judgment, calling his decision to involve Rezko "a bone-headed mistake."OK, the facts are complicated and a little hard to follow, and Obama admits it was bone-headed to make a deal with a crook like Rezko. I know it's old news, but how can Obama maintain that McCain is "out of touch with the lives of real Americans" for not remembering the details of his wife's real estate investments? Since when is a "bone-headed" deal with a Syrian crook like Rezko indicia of being in touch with the lives of real Americans? I'm thinking maybe Obama should tread lightly where it comes to real estate issues. posted by Eric on 08.31.08 at 01:45 AM

"The fact that John McCain does not know how many houses he owns when millions are struggling to stay in the only house they have shows he's out of touch with the lives of real Americans"
Really? That sounds an awful lot like a requirement that McCain be on the wrong end of foreclosure proceedings before he can claim to be in touch with Americans. But if a politician can't ask for a person's vote without first having walked a mile in his shoes, how could anyone become president without having walked 55 million miles? How many miles has Senator Obama walked?
