Barack Offended Cindy

[bigtree]

WASHINGTON, Aug. 30 (UPI) -- Cindy McCain, the wife of presumptive Republican U.S. presidential nominee John McCain, says she is "offended" by attacks on her family's wealth.

In an interview scheduled to air Sunday on ABC's "This Week with George Stephanopoulos," the would-be first lady said repeated references to her husband's comment that he didn't know how many homes the couple own were unfair. She said Democratic nominee Barack Obama went too far in his acceptance speech in Denver Thursday when he said John McCain doesn't know what middle class working families have to deal with.

"I'm offended by Barack Obama saying that about my husband," Cindy McCain told ABC.

She argued that her family's road to wealth, through the beer distributorship her father founded, represents the American Dream.

"I'm proud of what my dad and my mother did and what they built and left me," she said. "And I intend to carry their legacy as long as I can."

Obama campaign spokeswoman Linda Douglass told ABC the issue "isn't wealth of the McCain family, it's that Senator McCain is out of touch when he says that the fundamentals of our economy are strong' and that the Bush economy has 'made great progress' when most Americans are actually losing ground."

5. And given that it was her parents who did all the striving . . .

Doesn't that highlight the point that she (and John) are completely innocent of the concerns of people who are struggling *right now?*

[LonelyLRLiberal]

17. and supposedly with Mob help, too

Somewhere here on DU are links to a long series on Cindy and McCain in (I think) the Arizona Republic. I'll see if I can find them.

[LonelyLRLiberal]

19. and probably still addicted to pain meds

I would take something for pain, too, if I had to hop in the sack with McCane.

[tularetom]

7. Fuck her, she's rich enough to hire people to get offended for her

She doesn't have to do it herself.

[tekisui]

8. Get used to it, Cindy. There is plenty more to come.

Your little man doesn't know if he's coming or going. He will give us many more openings.

[XOKCowboy]

9. Oh yeah shady dealings with the mob is the American Dream

Cindy if you're so offended open up the McCain family financial records for all to see or

STFU!

[JeffR]

10. Really? I'm offended by a kept man so wealthy by proxy he can't keep track of

his wife's assets. That offends me, especially after he's spent years helping enthusiastically to turn my country into Bushworld.

[spanone]

11. that's a frightening picture of the first lady wannabe

[baldguy]

12. Rich assholes can get real uppity when you challage them.

[proud patriot]

14. tough cookies Cindy ..

[geckosfeet]

15. Well Cindy, your husband should stop playing the elitist card. Cause

if anyone is elitist, he and you are. And if he keeps putting it front and center, it is going to boomerang.

I am sure that Obama and his wife were a bit taken aback when your husbands campaign called them elitists - but I don't remember them whining like you.

Um, that's not a very progressive way of putting it. nt

[progressiveforever]

37. It is what it is....and she is what she is....

[texasleo]

20. She's doesn't know which "daddy" Barack was referring to.

[Cerridwen]

21. "Children of the Corn" grows up.

Yes, it is superficial. Yes, I appear to be stuck in 80s movies and TV; that was the last time I paid any attention to "pop" culture.

I don't care. That picture reminds me of "Children of the Corn."

[Captain Hilts]

30. Now THAT's funny!

[SammyWinstonJack]

22. Yikes!

:scared: Night of the Living Dead! :hide:

[Mz Pip]

23. Bummer

for you Cindy.

You have no clue as to how much your husband offends me.

[seabeyond]

24. cheneys wife was "offended" all the time. n/t

[drmeow]

27. Cheney's wife IS offensive

Of course, so are all of them - Lynn, Laura, Cindy, Barbara, Nancy, and so on.
Their husbands go WELL beyond offensive!

[ailsagirl]

34. Yep-- Little Cindy needs to STFU and stop her WHINING

though I'm certain this is the first of many.

[ailsagirl]

32. Just more of their BS tactics-- only it won't work this time, damnit

:kick:

[drmeow]

25. Oh, Cindy,

I'm SOOOOO sorry. I'm SURE that Barack didn't mean to hurt you. I'll be sure to PRAY for you so that God can alleviate your terrible suffering. And my favorite charity (Planned Parenthood) will be HAPPY to take some of the wealth off your hands seeing as how it has the potential to cause you SO much pain. The LAST thing any of us want is for you to suffer in ANY way. That's the job of us little people, to do your suffering for you!

[noamnety]

26. Poor oppressed rich people.

oops - I meant "McCain's a POW."

[ailsagirl]

35. LOL!!

:rofl:

[ColbertWatcher]

31. Hey, Cindy, we're all offended by your husband. n/t

[Whoa_Nelly]

33. STFU, Cindy! You are embarrassing yourself

Neither Cindy nor John McCain know the middle class, much less those living at or below poverty level, who account for so many of our nation's voting citizens.

Cindy McCain! You are a spoiled, narcissistic, husband-stealing brat.

[unkachuck]

36. how can I say this delicately.....

38. I'm offended that her husband thinks I should share

the middle income bracket with someone making $4,999,999.99 a year.

[CitizenPatriot]
