Yea... Gee.. I thought that Obama not having an answer to when life begins was bad.... what was I thinking!

McCain unable to remember how many properties he owns SURELY makes him out of touch and unable to stand up and be President!

(Now someone go ask a few Democrats that question.... matter of fact, lets ask how many sweetheart mortgage deals McCain received like say Chris Dodd or the Clintons...)

Seriously... all this is going to do is illustrate how desperate the left is to slow McCain down..

Heres the dirty little secret.. McCain isn't climbing faster... Obama is FREE FALLING! Taking shots at McCain won't help. The left has to stop Obama's fall..

...good luck with that Abunai , the one thing Obama can't “beat” is his past, his character and his personality ! He will be his own undoing because he can not survive close scrutiny ...his “cheap shots” will blow up in his face , as he has never “walked a mile in the common mans shoes” his little campaign of smoke and deception will soon start to unravel.

I can't believe that question would make headlines..BUT THEN AGAIN YOU HAVE DEMOCRAPS..OWING MUCH MORE THAN HOMES......only under aliases......how convenient........LET's ask OBAMA the same question......oh wait KENYA, ETHIOPIA.....America...who knows even in Iraq right next to his brother OSAMA.......tsk tsk tsk....

McCain isn't out of touch with anybody, that just the left tossing it against the wall to see if it sticks or not.

I do like the reply from the Obama camp:

Does Obama, who just got back from his tropical vacation in Hawaii, who made 4 million in income, and just finished purchasign a million dollar home from a convicted fellon REALLY want to go down this road?

Once again, liberals have not figured out that they don't have control of the media anymore, and EVERYTHING they do is going to blow up in their face!

Candy... you are right, it should not have even made big news, but what you have is the left DESPERATE to turn the light away from themselves as Obama and his campaign now have had to admitt that he LIED about his vote history on abortion! Instead of making McCain look bad, Obama now just looks desperate, and the convention just isn't going to help him. I bet he gets a smaller bounce than his European trip gave him!

Quick question here, how many homes do the Clintons own? I know Bush probably has a few himself but here's a fact you probably don't know. The Clintons bought their multi million dollar mansion in New York for some odd reason. Their mortgage just happens to be the same amount they charge the government on lease for the secret service to live on site. Short story here is we tax payers are paying their mortgage. That coupled with the fact of why she (I mean they) picked New York burns my butt.

Cale,

Here's an interesting take on it. When did owning home become an indicator that you're out of touch or elite. Read the editorial below and see who's worse, Mccain for legaling buying home, or Obama for ... well, you read and see what he's done.

8 things you need to know about Obama and Rezko
Tale in national spotlight, thanks to Clinton

All of a sudden, seems as if everybody's talking about Barack Obama and Tony Rezko. Even Jay Leno.

Rezko already was a big story in Chicago, accused of influence-peddling in the Blagojevich administration and set to face trial Feb. 25.

But Monday, he became national news -- and an issue in the presidential race. That's when Hillary Clinton blasted Obama for having represented "your contributor, Rezko, in his slum landlord business in inner-city Chicago."

Having a hard time keeping track of the facts? Here are eight things to know:

1. They met in 1990. Obama was a student at Harvard Law School and got an unsolicited job offer from Rezko, then a low-income hous

4. In 1995, Obama began campaigning for a seat in the Illinois Senate. Among his earliest supporters: Rezko. Two Rezko companies donated a total of $2,000. Obama was elected in 1996 -- representing a district that included 11 of Rezko's 30 low-income housing projects.

5. Rezko's low-income housing empire began crumbling in 2001, when his company stopped making mortgage payments on the old nursing home that had been converted into apartments. The state foreclosed on the building -- which was in Obama's Illinois Senate district.

6. In 2003, Obama announced he was running for the U.S. Senate, and Rezko -- a member of his campaign finance committee -- held a lavish fund-raiser June 27, 2003, at his Wilmette mansion.

7. A few months after Obama became a U.S. senator, he and Rezko's wife, Rita, bought adjacent pieces of property from a doctor in Chicago's Kenwood neighborhood -- a deal that has dogged Obama the last two years. The doctor sold the mansion to Obama for $1.65 million -- $300,000 below the asking price. Rezko's wife paid full price -- $625,000 -- for the adjacent vacant lot. The deals closed in June 2005. Six months later, Obama paid Rezko's wife $104,500 for a strip of her land, so he could have a bigger yard. At the time, it had been widely reported that Tony Rezko was under federal investigation. Questioned later about the timing of the Rezko deal, Obama called it "boneheaded" because people might think the Rezkos had done him a favor.

8. Eight months later -- in October 2006 -- Rezko was indicted on charges he solicited kickbacks from companies seekin

Cale,
Maybe he thought this was not a very important question and did not care to answer it. I mean I do not care how many homes he owns. It is his business no one Else's. If you are only going to vote for a man who has more or less homes than you think he should then you should not vote. There are more important things to worry about than how many homes McCain owns. Like the economy and the war and our veterans.

Hey Cale,
It's getting pretty obvious that there is some kind of difference between Fox (the network) and Fox35 on air staff's philosophies. Many people here are refugees from the constant hammering of leftist agendas by the CNN/ABC/MSNBC, etc networks. Generally Fox seems to be the "alternative" to those who espouse liberal dogma. Yet, here in the blogs, it is pretty obvious that many on air staffers have a very definite slant to the left. So my question is, why stay here at Fox35? Wouldn't it be staying true to left wing journalism ideals to move to an station/network that more openly advocates the Clinton/Obama endeavors to convert America to a Socialist/Facist regime?

are not they all elitist in DC ??

you got to be wealthy to run for office in the first place.

Mccain had a head start in being born into money.
Obama is now wealthy too.

Wow...Dolphin that was very informative...thanks......Lol.........obamamination lol............

mscsailor -

Care to back that up with facts? A stupid, ill-informed post.

Cale

Harsh? Perhaps a bit, but no more so than this-

"Does his inability to answer it reek of elitist, high-end living?"

Does that read like polite conversation?

Anyway, I would assert that this is not really a legitimate question at all, but rather a statement slamming McCain. By stating it this way, it is easier to profess inquisitive journalism rather than political advocacy.

The liberal (no pun) use of ! and ? is also a dead giveaway as to the true objective.

So, ban me.

No I'm not going to ban you...I'd rather give you the time to go back and read ALL of the blogs I've posted. Every single one of them is on this site. Read them. Then tell me if I only pick on Republicans.

Also understand that we're suppose to drive debates on the blogs - that's why I wrote that statement you so believe is a personal vendetta against McCain. It worked - you and many others are debating the story and, in part, the comment.

You my friend have absolutely no clue as to what I believe or my colleagues. You can gloat that you do - but you're just grasping at thin air. For every comment I get from right wingers like you blasting me as being a Democrat, I have a e-mail from a liberal ripping me for supporting the supposed Fox News Channel agenda.

Well I for one do not care if Cale is a Democrat or a Republican as long as he does not say vote for this man because I am. Cale and Corrina are the last true news reporters. What I mean by that is they do not say who their favorite candidate is. That is the way it is supposed to be. Like Peter Jennings never knew he was a die hard Democrat now did you?
