Who has less in common with the average American, McCain/Palin or Obama/Biden?
By Dave | November 3, 2008
Dave? Dave’s not here asked:
“Earlier this evening, Barack Obama was in Hollywood at a big fundraiser, a sold-out fundraiser featuring Barbra Streisand singing. $28,500 a ticket. Barbra Streisand was singing. All the big Hollywood stars were there. It featured dinner prepared by the finest Hollywood chefs serving an array of gourmet food. I believe the topic tonight was how John McCain is out of touch with the common people.” –Jay Leno

Palin is the only one who is not a millionaire.
>>>Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois, reported assets of between $456,000 and $1.1 million, making it unclear if he is a millionaire. He and his wife had total income of $984,000 in 2006, including $567,000 in royalties for two books he has written. In 2005, Obama received a $1.9 million book advance.> “who has been serving in the Senate since he was 30, told the FEC that his assets were only between $62,000 and $405,000, with liabilities of between $140,000 and $365,000.
His only reported income in 2006, in addition to his $165,000 Senate salary, interests and dividends, was $28,700 for teaching at Widener University in Pennsylvania”

McCain and Palin.
Obama is one of us. He worked his way to the top from the bottom. McCain is a rich old man thats always been rich and divorced his invalid wife to marry a beer heiress who as much a ***** as any woman I have ever seen. Biden has decades of experience and provides the fire to Obamas ice. Palin is a redneck with the brain of a pea.

Simply put – McCain/Palin.

Michelle, Barach and Joe all grew up poor, John and Cindy grew up rich and Palin has enriched herself partly by accepting per diem payments (spending money for work-related travel days) for time she spent at home, she even put up her daughter in the Ritz-Carlton on the taxpayer’s tab. You don’t even really have to think to answer that question.

They are both more in touch than Bush or Kerry, that is for sure.
Palin is more in touch clearly… she is as average as average gets.
Democrats can be pretty out of touch in their think tanks. The rich can be pretty out of touch. That certainly eliminates the Obama biden ticket.

McCain has lost the touch with the average people.

How many people do YOU know when asked don’t know how many homes they own? How many people do YOU know spend 150,000K on clothes in 9 weeks? Barack just recently finished paying off his student loans and owns one car-a Ford hybrid and one home. Cindy McCain is lousy rich and doesn’t have to think money problems so neither does McCain. Most celebs support him because they too have worked there way to the top. They don’t come from “old money” and they remember what it was like to struggle.

To Ms. Druid who answered this question first…… Governor Palin’s assets, I believe are well over 1.5 million. (The woman has her own plane on her property…..and this is NOT a government aircraft). Senator Biden’s assets are $150 thousand dollars…….how average is that, (for a politician anyway, he doesn’t even make as much as “Joe the Plumber”!) So, if either ticket is “middle of the road”, my guess would have to be the Democrats.

The only one who is not rich is Palin. Obama and Democrats talk it up big like they are poor and can understand our pain, etc, but they are also wealthy
