New McCain Ad On Obama-Rezko Real Estate Deal Gets Smacked Down

  If this is the best that McCain and the rest of the Repugnicans can do, then we certainly do not want McCain as our President.

McCain's Misfire

Hoping to appeal to the middle-class voters who make $4.9 million a year and have only a single beach front vacation home in their collection, McCain rushed out an ad trying to reanimate the corpse of the long discredited Obama-Rezko real estate connection.  Newsweek teamed up with Factcheck.org to slice and dice McCain's ad, and they detected the fine odor of pure BS laced with the rancid stench of desperation.

But his TV spot gives an oversimplified and misleading account of how Obama bought his own $1.6 million house in Chicago. ... It says Rezko "purchased part of the property [Obama] couldn't afford." Rezko's wife did buy an adjoining tract but later sold the land at a profit. Obama paid market price for his home.

...

We find McCain's ad is careless with the facts and could easily leave a false impression.

Oversimplified, misleading, careless, and false. Hmm, that sounds like the McCain (and Bush) we know.

John McCain Doesn't Know What He Drives

   John McCain just seems to be the gift that keeps on giving! First off, he doesn't know how many homes that he and his wife own, and now, when asked what kind of car he drives he didn't know that either! Come on now! this man wants to be the President and he can't even tell a questioner what he drives?

In our news interview, he was asked what kind of car he drove, he could simply not answer.  As with Politico’s question about home ownership, he didn’t know and had to ask a nearby aide.  "A Cadillac CTS," she told him.

  This man wants to be our leader and yet he knows nothing about his own lifestyle. do we really want McCain in the White House with the ability to start a war at will over nothing just because he has memory lapses and is short tempered? I don't and if you are smart, then neither do you!
