13
cars?? THIRTEEN? One-three? Who on earth needs 13
cars???
Well, apparently John ahd Cindy McCain do.( http://www.newsweek.com/id/160091) I guess they have to have a couple for each of his houses.
Not only that, but for a guy who keeps saying that he buys American, you have to wonder where the Honda and the VW are made.
And for a guy who says he's so earth friendly, and wants to stop our reliance on foreign oil, you'd think he could find something a little more energy efficient to drive besides a Cadillac CTS.
So, let's see what Barack Obama has... hm. One home. (He rents an apartment in DC.) One car, a 2008 Ford (*gack*) Escape Hybrid (replacing his Chrysler 300c). That's a mid-size SUV. I know because I drive a mid-size SUV Hybrid as well. I would have looked more closely at the Ford had I not had a HORRIBLE (I mean *HORRIBLE) experience with a Ford (and the Ford Motor Company itself) about 24 years ago, and then a different, but still horrible experience with a Ford dealership when I was looking for a car in 1998 (deciding that I would break down and give Ford another chance).
But I digress... I still don't comprehend AT ALL how a guy with 7 properties and 9 hourses and 13 cars and a sh*tload of money call a guy with one house, one car, and a sum of money that most of the rest of us would love to have "elitist". Is it because he's a black guy who went to an Ivy League school and made good for himself? It makes me feel like McCain thinks that Obama doesn't "know his place".
Yeah... it's the race card. And I, middle-aged white woman, played it. Whatcha gonna do about it?
