    And he houses more family members than they do as well.

    To be really nasty,

    He (and she) have had more affairs than Oprah….

    Hope that helps.

    And your point would be… totally missing, perhaps?

    Wouldn’t the obvious point be that when you provide homes for more family members you might end up owning more houses? Is this really that difficult, or maybe all of you are still confused over the earth shattering sandal/stick debacle and can’t think straight?

    Yeah, I remember when I turned 18 and my parents bought me a freakin’ mansion.

    JWG,

    But wait… while you’re busy housing all of your family members, in your numerous mansions, whenever do you have the time to worry about arugula? You DON’T worry about arugula, you say? For shame!

    Considering the way Obama has taken care of his relatives, it’s probably a good thing you leftists think providing homes for your family is something to be mocked.

    JWG, your comment makes a lot of sense so long as:
    1) You forget that Obama had no money until his book sales took off three or four years ago.
    2) You define relatives to include half-siblings he first met as an adult, and say he should be responsible for them.
    3) You assume there’s something wrong with Obama not giving away his hard- and recently-earned cash to a bunch of people who aren’t actually disadvantaged by local standards.
    4) You don’t compare his behavior to Cindy McCain’s, because Cindy’s father excluded his other children from his will, and Cindy cut off her half-sister’s cedit card on the day of the funeral, despite the fact that Cindy’s Father had previously been supporting them.

    But, thanks for playing!

    By the way, from memory and so possibly inaccurate, homes owned by the last several Presidents:
    George W Bush – unsure, but probably two, the “Ranch” and some other one someplace. Possibly as many as three or four.
    Bill Clinton – none, until he bought the New York house when leaving office.
    George H W Bush – one, in Kennebunkport. Famously, his Texas “residence” was a suite in a hotel hat he did not rent full time, and he eventually bought a plot of land too small to build a house.
    Reagan – not completely sure, but he had his Ranch and I don’t recall any other homes. To be safe, let’s say two.
    Carter – one.
    I have no idea about Ford, Nixon, or Johnson, though I’d guess one to two each,call it five among the three of them. Still, I’d say it’s quite likely that McCain own more homes than the last half-dozen men electd President, combined.
