Report: McCain Has 13 Cars, Obama 1
Email
ShareSeptember 21, 2008 9:57 AM
ABC News' Tahman Bradley Reports: After the brouhaha over Sen. John McCain's struggle to recall how many houses he owns, Newsweek wondered how many cars might be parked at the presidential candidate's multiple homes.
The weekly newsmagazine checked vehicle registration records for both McCain and Sen. Barack Obama and found that when you include the candidates' spouses, McCain owns 13 cars, Obama 1.
McCain has a 2004 Cadillac CTS, a 2007 half-ton Ford pickup truck, a 1960 Willys Jeep, a 2008 Jeep Wranger among other American cars. He's got a few foreign vehicles in his fleet as well, owning a 2005 Volkswagen convertible and a 2001 Honda sedan.
The only vehicle registered in Obama's name is a 2008 Ford Escape hybrid.
McCain's wife, Cindy, an heiress to a beer distribution company, has her name on 11 vehicles but actually only drives one car - a Lexus with the personal plates MS BUD.

Obama was driving a 300C a huge gas guzzler while he was going after others.
That is so Obama. Do one thing while bashing others. Obama was driving 50 cents car of choice.
Obama who said he is fine with gas prices going up as long as they go up gradually. Obama who was against the gas tax and against drilling but was driving a gas guzzler 300C.

Wow, this blog hit a raw nerve. The Republicans appear mighty sensitive about yet another piece of evidence that shows how the McCains just ain't like the rest of us. Wow.

When I have eaten enough (full-up), it does not cross my mind to think there is anyone somewhere hungry.
I fail to get it that McCain can feel a pain to those who have not!

When you have between 7 to 10 homes and two people you would need 14 to 20 cars for both to have a car at all the houses. Thats what middle income Americans are required to have. Two cars in a garage.
Obama/Biden all the way 2008

No news here. The McCains are the REAL elistist.
Out of touch with reality

Wow. You know looking at that list of cars, I'm struck by how... well, crappy they all are.

Jesse
you.....ugh.
Mccain came from money duh...(his brother was interviewed talking about the oil his dad owned ...but the mend did not oversee anything financial...their mother handled the finances)
he divorced into money duh...
he has never had to worry about a car payment
a student loan
a mortgage bill...
the list goes on
that clearly explains how he can lose us so many trillions and only learn his mistakes AFTER his statements policies and stances sc#$w us out of literally trillions and trillions
throw these bums out

It takes a poor person to know the value of the dollar, which McCain has no clue of!!!!!
Posted by: hughhefner | Sep 21, 2008 10:47:56 AM
Do they even make suits for $30,000? Even tuxes go for a fraction of that.

"McCain Has 13 Cars, Obama 1"
So what?!
How does this affect MY life?!

"Newsweek" -says it all.

obama is just a havard graduate with alot of anger at women that he bilks them from their votes and then the dnc hires hackers from chicago.

Jesse, how DARE you talk about the one!!! You will be branded as a racist like I am.
Don't try to expose the ONE or all of his croonies/leftists will jump on you.
ABC, CBS, NBC, and MSNBC are ALL in the tank for Obama. I love it when George had to correct the ONE on "My Muslim Faith..." say what you want, your conscience is about to explode, Obama.
I could not wait for ABC to grill him like they did with Sarah. Please allow the ONE to use the teleprompters...

Jesse: where did Mcsame get all of HIS money? Barack EARNED his. Rezko? He didn't BUY the house nor negotiate for it - Barack and Michelle bought their house with the money they EARNED.
Trash talking a good person will not make him bad just becuase you want him to be.
Be fair and talk about McCain. Who is the real fraud??? Let's look at the the military papers all 155 pages of McCain's service and we will find out.
ABC has finally become even handed.

Obama is the biggest priss I have ever seen.
Obama goes nuts if his advisors don't have the right shades for him on his photo op.
Obama won't visit the troops in germany.
McCain has gone to walter reed 50 times without taking the press with him.
Obama went once and took the press with him.
McCain is a man who for years every week went to a hospital to visit Mo Udall a democratic senator who was sick.
McCain doesn't live the high life he stays in an apartment in DC.
Obama is the one who is obsessive about hhimself. Obama has to go to the gym three times a day.

It is not about being rich
I want the person running the country to be successful and yes rich...
but I want them to be valued for EARNING it themselves.
For having gone through what we all went through
and it wouldn't even matter if the guy hasn't been involved in losing this country a
TRILLION DOLLARS ...
3 TIMES!!!!!
how stupid or evil do you have to be to argue for this guy now
the buck does not stop with Bush and McCain
the buck stops with the people who voted for them.

dl the wrong one, you forgot that heis willing to protect you and your selfish attitude

FYI we do not owe John McCain the Presidency for being a POW which I'm real tired of hearing him remind me of daily.... He wasn't the only one and certainly not for the longest or most tortured either. But he managed to trade up on wives when he got home.

Jesse: the one person (obsessed and lying) Obama hater. I hope Secret Service gets you before you hurt yourself or walk on a college campus.
Obama/Biden for a greater country and a better world!
USA! USA! USA! USA!
