By now everyone’s heard that McHouse, I mean McCain, was asked today how many houses he and his wife own, but couldn’t remember and referred the query to his staff. His staff got back and said he and Cindy own four houses. In less time than it takes to swat a mosquito, Obama, in full attack mode since back from Hawaii, pointed out that the McCains actually own seven houses and turned the elitist label they’ve been trying to pin on the dem candidate upside down or inside out depending on your preferred method of swatting a political opponent.
But apart from the silliness of how many houses the McCain’s own in what should be a serious political debate, one can’t help but wonder how McCain could flub such an easy question, "how many houses do you own?" To put in perspective how easy this question was, I’ll venture to say if every American were asked the same question the vast majority would say, "none." And of course we all know it’s only getting worse with the sub-prime/foreclosure scandal.
With the economy being the number one issue this election, we obviously need a guy who can do some math, or at the very least count. How effective will McCain’s economic team be when after given the simple task of adding up seven houses they came up with the answer: 7 + 0 = 4, an error of ____%. I purposely left the percentage of error blank to see if any McCain supporters write in with the correct answer.
I think we could find them a position in the McCain camp.
