During this campaign season, the one thing that has cracked me up was how Barack Obama has been labeled as an “elitist” by, first, Hillary Clinton and now, John McCain.* Hillary Clinton labeling as an elitist was pretty laughable considering that, among other things, she was the former first lady of the United States and, with her husband, was worth more than $100 million. Furthermore, some advisers to her campaign were lobbying for heads of state around the world.* That’s pretty elite company.
If Clinton was bad, McCain is worse.* He grew up a child of privilege whose Admiral father was able to pull strings to get him into the Naval Academy. He left wife number 1 to marry beer heiress and current wife, Cindy.* She, alone, has a net worth of roughly $100 million. However, two fairly recent event showed me how much of an elitist McCain really was.* The first was when it was discovered that John McCain had been using his wife’s private jet for campaigning without reporting that he was doing so.* The second was when it was uncovered that he had an overdue property tax bill.* It wasn’t because they couldn’t afford it but, when one owns 10 homes, it’s hard to keep track of all the bills.
Up until now, no one has hit back against the McCain choir for labeling Obama an elitist when the moniker seems to fit McCain more but,
Brave New Films is taking up the challenge.* They have created a new video called
McCain’s Mansions.* Check it out below:
