The last eight years have seen the USA saddled with a president, the Chimperator, who not only believes that he has some direct line to God and that God speaks to him urging him on a crusade against the infidel, but who also has no freaking clue as to the real world reality in which most Americans find themselves. Worse yet, since he does not read newspapers, watch television news or engage in much of anything else that might burst his isolated bubble. Now, with John McCain, it appears that the nation will have the option to elect yet another utterly clueless president should John McCain win election and thereby burden itself with a third Bush term in yet more ways. It is dufficult to address problems when one doesn't know they are occurring or have any ability to understand what the common citizen is experiencing.

With so many houses - now confirmed to number 10 - what is a person to do? McCain v. Minnesota has a story that shows just how rough it is being burdened with all those pesky homes which have an aggregate value of $13,823,269.00. Here are a few highlights of "common man" John McCain's real estate holdings:

Does anyone seriously believe that McCain, the son and grandson of famous admirals - believe me, admirals live pretty well based upon the ones around here past and present - has any idea what it's like to be struggling to pay a mortgage, cloth children and otherwise live on an average person's income?
