THIS grapahic of John McCain and Barack Obama has been doing the rounds.
It takes triteness to whole new levels.
Newsweek has taken aim at the McCain fleet of cars – and it’s not just the number that is causing a stir.
Newsweek found 13 registered to John and Cindy McCain … The problem for McCain is that earlier this year he told a Detroit TV station: “I’ve bought American literally all my life, and I’m proud” …
But now it turns out that he and his wife own three foreign vehicles: a Lexus, a 2005 VW convertible and a 2001 Honda sedan.
“Eventually, [Anne] Davies allows as to why this story isn’t the candidate-crusher she hopes it might be”:
Only a 2004 Cadillac is registered in the candidate’s name.
Says he:
The chart above is wrong because it assumes that the Republicans are saying that elitism is synonymous with wealth. But that’s not what they’re implying at all. They branded Obama as an elitist not because of how many up arrows he has but how many books he owns. Remember, we elect presidents not for leadership quality or intellectual ability but for who we want to hang out and have a beer with.
Does Obama only use one car?
