McCain loses track of portfolio |
|

|
John McCain made another gaff yesterday as he admitted losing track of how many houses he owned. When asked about the size of his portfolio, in an interview with Politico, he replied: “I think…I’ll have my staff look into it.”
McCain’s enourmous wealth is doing him no favours with the credit crunched American public at the moment and slip-ups like this are quickly pounced upon by the Obama camp. Only a few days ago he said that to be considered trully rich in America it took an annual income of $5m (the average income for an American in 2006 was $26,036).
The McCains reportedly own seven homes in Arizona, California and Virginia, worth a total of $13m. This coupled with the fact that Cindy McCain’s inherited America’s biggest beer distribution firm, estimated at $200m, have been used by the Obama campaign to answer the Rebulican’s accusations of the democrats elitism. |
