I have no problem with people getting rich and running for office. I do have a problem when politicians try and say, "I know what the working families in America need" when the following shows that unless they talk to their house cleaners, they have no idea what is effecting the average American.

* Since 2004, they've spent $11 million on real estate.
* At times, Cindy has charged as much as $500,000 on one credit card and $250,000 on another in a single month. You really have to work hard to charge three quarters of a million dollars in one month. What is she buying, gold-plated Ferraris?
* Though the McCains spent a modest $184,000 on household staff in 2006, in 2007 they spent $273,000. And who can blame them? It's so hard to get good help these days.
* This is my favorite quote, about why they own two condos in the same building in the beachside town of Coronado: "When I bought the first one, my husband, who is not a beach person, said, 'Oh, this is such a waste of money; the kids will never go,'” she told Vogue. “Then it got to the point where they used it so much I couldn't get in the place. So I bought another one.”

Don't you feel like they are just like you and I? I know Obama has money from his book deals, but not this type of money.
