Thanks kban. It was the same thread that WN hijacked 

I hijacked the thread.. wah bhai wah.. and who is discussing tire pressure and oil changes (which is highly related to Musharraf, yeah right)

Hey hey! Who posted the seeds of the discussion about Obama and McCain?
The energy plan and associated stuff is relevant to that.

I think we should take the discussion back to Ganguly. We can all converge then. Afterall Musharraf and Ganguly are very closely related (both have screwed India)

McCain not sure how many houses he and wife own


WASHINGTON - Days after he cracked that being rich in the U.S. meant earning at least $5 million a year, Republican presidential candidate John McCain acknowledged that he wasn't sure how many houses he and his wealthy wife actually own.
 
"I think — I'll have my staff get to you," McCain responded to a question posed by Politico, according to a story Thursday on the publication's Web site. "It's condominiums where — I'll have them get to you."

Later, the McCain campaign told Politico that McCain and his wife, Cindy, have at least four in three states, Arizona, California and Virginia. Newsweek recently estimated the two owned at least seven properties.

On the campaign trail, McCain doesn't refer to his wife's wealth, estimated by some at $100 million and based on her late father's Arizona beer distributorship.

Democratic rival Barack Obama's campaign has been trying to make their wealth more widely known to blunt criticism that Obama is an elitist out of touch with ordinary Americans.

According to her 2006 tax returns, Cindy McCain had a total income of $6 million. She has not released her 2007 returns, which she files separately from her husband. McCain's tax returns showed a total income of $405,409 in 2007.

In a forum last week with the Rev. Rick Warren, McCain was asked to define the word "rich" and to give a figure. After promoting his tax policies, McCain said: "I think if you are just talking about income, how about $5 million?" The audience laughed, and he added: "But seriously, I don't think you can — I don't think seriously that — the point is that I'm trying to make here, seriously — and I'm sure that comment will be distorted — but the point is that we want to keep people's taxes low and increase revenues."

Obama, asked the same question at the forum, said those making $250,000 and higher are in the top 3 to 4 percent and "doing well." Obama and his wife, Michelle, reported making $4.2 million in 2007.

It seems like B Hussein Obama too didn't know quite a few things...

1. He sat in the Trinity church for 20 years, but didn't know what Jeremiah Wright was spewing to his listeners. Oh wait... He said on TV that he DID know what Wright was saying. But then why did he tell Anderson Cooper on his program that he didn't? Crap, this is confusing.

2. He said he was not present on those days when Jeremiah Wright was saying stuff like "God Damn America". Oh wait... He said on TV that he was present in the church when Wright said controversial stuff. But then why did he tell Anderson Cooper on his program that he wasn't present? Crap, this is confusing.

3. BHO said that he can't disown Jeremiah Wright because he is his father figure, his moral compass, his guide in life, the one who presided over his marriage. Then why did BHO disown him publicly? Oh wait... maybe it was because THIS was not the Jeremiah Wright that BHO knew for past 20 years. Yeaaahhhh baby... that should not surprise anyone. BHO can't be expected to know everything about his father figure, his moral compass. Sure...

4. He said that he was only 8 years old when William Ayers blew the hospitals and police stations. But he was an adult when he was co-director of some organizations that had Ayers as co-director too!! Wait, he said that this is not the Ayers he knew. Does this mean that he had no idea who William Ayers was? That's not possible because on Sept 12 2001 (one day after 9/11 attacks) William Ayers went on TV and said that he is ashamed he didn't kill more americans in his bomb blasts. BHO didn't know about that? Maybe that's why BHO invited Ayers to his inaguration ceremony. Yeaaahhhhh baby.... how can BHO know all this about his close friend? After all, this is not the Bill Ayers BHO knew all along.

5. Tony Rezko, the NY slum lord, was a very close friend of BHO. Did BHO know he had illegal dealings? No way... BHO is not expected to know that, even though Rezko's wife paid 1/3 the cost of the house the Michelle Obama purchased. Did anyone know that this house was right next to Tony Rezko's house? Ooppssss... When Tony Rezko was convicted for his crimes, BHO said this is not the Tony Rezko I once knew. Of course, we have to believe BHO when he says that!!! How can BHO know who his friend is!!! HOw can BHO know how his friend earns his money, when his wife takes money from the friend's wife. Nooooo... we don't expect BHO to know all that. BHO is the chosen one. He is above all these petty things.

6. BHO said that one of his ancestor saved people in Auschwitz concentration camp. Oopppssssss... He obviously didn't know that it was the Russian who saved people from Auschwitz. But we have to excuse BHO from this obvious omission. Maybe the folk lore his ancestor passed along was faulty. So it is not BHO's fault if he believed a lie. Yesssss... we don't expect BHO to deliberately tell lies, now, do we? No we don't. He is The Chosen One, after all.

7. BHO doesn't know himself if he is medically fit or not. How can I say that? BHO camp has released a single page letter from his physician that says that he fit perfectly fit. But I may be wrong. I guess one page medical record should be sufficient for our savior. Why should he release thousands of pages of medical history of past 8 years? That's something for Mac to do. If BHO looks healthy, he should be healthy.


Here is something that BHO DOES know:
He says he will withdraw troops from Iraq in 16 months. He says he will send the forces back to flush out AQ if it is found in Iraq. Then he says he KNOWS that AQ is in Iraq. He says he knows AQ is there right now. So what's his plan? He will withdraw troops from Iraq in 16 months, then wait for Iraqis to start getting killed at the hands of AQ, then based on that evidence (that he knew 16 months ago) he will send the troops back to flush out AQ.

Isn't that brilliant?
