He is not that interested in the number of houses he or Cindy owns, because he has better things to do than counting their investments. This just shows how little McCain thinks of money. This is another proof to that Senator McCain does put his self interest after his country, although I haven't decided which candidate to vote for. In fact, I think McCain is cool.

Obama earned his money last year, from his Senate salary, sales of his book and whatever working-mom Michelle brought in. The McCain family declared some $35,000,000+ in income in 2007, mostly from investments from his wife's portfolio. That's not earned income! And McCain -- or his wife -- hasn't checked out the price of homes in the Chicago suburbs of late, or he ---rather, excuse me, his staff -- would know that $1,000,000 is the going rate for homes in those suburbs. And, like homes everywhere, I'll bet it's dropped significantly in value. I'll bet Obama could tell you the exact worth of his one home. McCain will have to have his staff get back to you, but first they'll need to determine how many homes there are. Is it 4? 7? 10? Some say 13. The man has no idea how many homes he owns, people!
