McCain's false-sounding claim of lack of knowledge about how many homes he
and Cindy have may show how out of touch with the lives of regular Americans
he is -- not because of the number of homes -- but his obvious avoidance of
an answer to the question. Does he think it can be kept secret so as not to
offend all those people who just lost their homes? Btw, Cindy still refuses
to reveal her tax returns, doesn't she?

Subject: Obama hits McCain
Dear MoveOn member,
How many houses do you own? Most Americans could answer that question quite
easily.
But John McCain couldn't remember yesterday when asked by reporters. It's
actually kind of ridiculous. He paused and said, "I think‹I'll have my staff
get to you."1 (The correct answer? At least seven.2)
This could be an election-defining moment‹it's a reminder of just how out of
touch John McCain is with the lives of regular Americans. We need to make
sure every voter hears about it.
Barack Obama's campaign responded today with a strong new TV ad. Can you
take a moment to watch it, and then spread the word by forwarding this email
to others? Click here to watch‹you can also donate to Obama's campaign if
you like it:

t=2> This is just the latest reminder that John McCain doesn't understand
what most Americans are going through right now. It was recently reported
that he wears $520 shoes on the campaign trail‹more than some families pay
each month for food or rent.3
This past week, McCain and Obama were asked what constitutes "rich." Obama
said, "If you are making more than $250,000, then you are in the top 3, 4
percent of this country...You are doing well." McCain answered, "I think if
you're just talking about income, how about $5 million?"4
With the economy a top issue this year for voters, everyone needs to hear
about this recent news. Can you watch Obama's new ad and forward this email
to friends?
Thanks for all you do.
