How many houses do you own?
From Moveon.org
Most Americans could answer that question quite easily.
But John McCain couldn't remember yesterday when asked by reporters. It's actually kind of ridiculous. He paused and said, "I think—I'll have my staff get to you." (The correct answer? At least seven.)
This could be an election-defining moment—it's a reminder of just how out of touch John McCain is with the lives of regular Americans.
Barack Obama's campaign responded today with a strong new TV ad. This is just the latest reminder that John McCain doesn't understand what most Americans are going through right now. It was recently reported that he wears $520 shoes on the campaign trail—more than some families pay each month for food or rent.
This past week, McCain and Obama were asked what constitutes "rich." Obama said, "If you are making more than $250,000, then you are in the top 3, 4 percent of this country...You are doing well." McCain answered, "I think if you're just talking about income, how about $5 million?"
With the economy a top issue this year for voters, everyone needs to hear about this recent news. Can you watch Obama's new ad and forward this email to friends?
