my thoughts are he went to italy and got them it was prob less expensive there but more expensive to visit there i love these old stories i had to go back and rewatch stuff
the thing about sneakers that expencive on grown women is that she is going to be able to work out for forever in those shoes, whereas McCain wears those to look good.

If Obama cares about the poor why does he let his own brother live in a mud hut? It's despicable. I wouldn't even let my dog live like that let alone my own brother!
McCain is constitutionally ineligible. File law suits the delegates pledged to others should not be rewarded to McBush. Chriss in Florida did a primary Diebold event. McCain and Isman is the Billions in media cross ownership bills is the best example of corporate fascism.
McCain would continue Bush's economic policies that do NOT work. Look at our economy now. Our economy sucks! Every time our economy tanks, a Repubican is President! Herbert Hoover - Great Depression Dwight Eisenhower - 1957 Recession Richard Nixon - 1971 Recession Gerald Ford - stagflation in 1973 Ronald Reagan - "Black Monday," Oct. 19, 1987 George H. W. Bush - 1991 Recession George W. Bush - right now! We deserve a change. Vote Barack Obama.
They also have homeless men that served our country for 20+ years only diff is they didn't marry rich. They also didn't get glamorized for being a POW and snitching our secrets to the enemy... McCain is flaky as fuck. Almost 30 years in politics and nothin to show for it until this candidacy. If conservatives believed McCain was their candidate he woulda gotten the nomination in 2000. I believe MCCAIN AND OBAMA run circles around Bush I can't wait til his ass is back in that ranch, oh nvm
McStained-teeth should spend some of that good money on dentures that wont disconnect from his gumline during interviews. Wow!
And Arrogantenoble, youre right... McBush doesnt care the least bit about the Dalai lama or the tibetans.
Lets be honest McWar supporters, all he cares about is Drill-Surge-Drill-Surge... oh yeah, And you cant forget to mention his infatuation with Obama, because he is clearly infatuated with Obama.
Libs -- you're trying to make a story when there's none there.
This is nothing at all. I'm sure John & Cindy spend over $40,000.00 per year just on clothes, and more than that on their electric bills, and more than that on their bill for servants.
Living off lobbyists is rewarding & marrying money don't hurt.
Loafergate? omg, how stupid. $520 for shoes that'll last alot longer than a month for a $400 haircut! This vid only shows how idiotic liberals really are, and they're only gettin' worse!
McCain needs good shoes and they cost money. So what? He's on his feet alot. Who knows what the gooks did to his feet in Nam. You libs are really sad.
No, YOU, are sad. First you call Obama ELITIST, and yet you are blinded by McCain's shoe spending. Cindy McCain has maxed out her 2 American Express card. No problem about that, you have money, but DO NOT be calling your opponent elitist. Typical HYPOCRITE NeoCon Republicunts
LMAO... uhh how many planes does McCain own? He didn't marry rich for no reason. Doesn't really bother me other than the fact he campaigns against Obama to make him out to be some kind of Primadonna.
OK so then whats wrong with Mccains shoes? Both Obama and his transvestite wife are millionaires? So whats the point of this video? The liberals sure seem to love it but forget that Obama is just as extravagant. Frickin hypocrites.
Uhh Mike. The point is McCain has been using the strategy against Obama that he is too worried about being "GQ". Now he is paying 500 bucks for loafers. BTW Obama EARNED his millions while McCain married into wealth. Both Michelle and Barrack have higher IQ's than McCain, therefore I say let's put a brain that has actually accomplished something other than being held captive and snitchin'.
How did he earn it? By putting his name on a book he half wrote? Or the crooked real estate dealings he had with Tony Rezko? Are you also saying that a lifetime of service to your country is not earning anything?
If you wanna go crooked and corrupt politicians look at OUR president... He doesn't give a f*** about any of us. He used his presidency to increase profitability of oil and fatten his pockets. He has even brought our country numerous bits of embarrassing comments and idiocy. Our international approval is damn near as low as his approval rating here in the states. McCain has done SHIT... he hasn't introduced any groundbreaking bills. He has just been there forever cuz he's a good ol' boy.
Only pussies and weaklings car about our interntional approval. FUCK THEM. WE do more for the world than anyone ever has. Your just a sheep who is a victim of the mainsteam media. Do some research for yourself and stop being a sheep.
LMAO a sheep. Yeah I do because without their approval we get stuck in shitty economic situations, kinda like the one we are in now. Get off Bush's red cock and open your eye's dimwit. If I am a sheep, what are you? A fly buzzin' around the a pile of red, feeble, self-righteous, and discriminatory SHIT! If youd take your head out of Bush's ass, maybe you'd be able to take a true wif. BTW your point is null due to the fact the media is the rep.'s best ally slingin' mud every which-a-way.
WHO CARES?!? Live a life, take out the flag with the stars out of your ass and look beyond it! Don't you have anything else to talk about? Don't you have any other problems?! Oh yeah, you indeed do! Number 1? Wake up and smell the coffee... It's rotten.
who fucking cares why dont you fags say anything about obamas paster o thats not bad guy was fucking insane and you make a shoes a big deal learn about this fucking retards
A man who will pay $520 on something that goes on his feet cant possible give a shit about how little gas I can afford to put in my car to go to work just to earn a week what he walks around in. Now we know where Cindy's fortune is going, John is dipping into her pill money.
McCain doesn't own 28 houses, he only owns 14. But after all, doesn't he have the right to spend the money he made? Well, actually he didn't make it. He married into it. But doesn't Ms. McCain have a right, didn't she make all that money. Well, actually, she inherited it. As an admiral's son, McCain was born wealthy and married someone super-wealthy. Its not a rags to riches story, but a wealth to wealthier success story. And only the wealthy and wealthier will benefit by his election.
i matter to a lot of people. my vote matters even if it's merely in a symbolic sense. your racism is what's obsolete in this country...ps, the braves won't even win a pennant this year
How grotesque,McCain spends $520 dollers on Italian shoes made from calf skin.There is nothing likeable about the man.Although this story is nonimportant given the political problems we face,it gives us another glimpse into his tastes and likings the form his character.
there's no such thing as black america or white america or red or yellow or green or chatreusse. there's only 1 set of united states & barack will be the 44th president of them
Um, if you think the shoes are excessive you should see his real estate or for that matter what the average celebrity makes. When Angelina Jolie is offered 20 million dollars for baby pictures and the media reports on it as a common news story, they look ridiculous commenting on politicians and their loafers. Obama will be a very rich man in the long run if he gains the presidency, and it's nothing new the people who become presidents are elitist like that.
Oh please-What does shoes have to do with the issues. CNN is in the tank for Obama so I can see why they make fun of McCain and his shoes. By the way, anyone could wear $500 dollars if they saved their money. Stop spending your money on beer, junk or unnecessary items. A good pair of shoes will last longer also. This is just silly.
It is hard to peg Obama as an elitist, when you are wearing $520 shoes. I agree it should not be an issue, but when you bring up elitism it is only right that you should be judged by your own arguments. Obama doesn't own 9 houses. Obama's wife is not the heir to a multi-million dollar distribution company. It seems everything that comes out of the McLame campaign has a little bit of hypocrisy.
Give Obama time. He'll own a lot of houses with more of those sweet house deals. Are you jealous of McCain's shoes or his money? You must be a liberal. Maybe your a socialist if you are voting for Obama.
Are you serious? Remember Condi Rice's little shoe-shopping expedition right in the middle of the Hurricane Katrina mess? We surely wouldn't want to deprive her of her shoes while there where thousands of people who were HOMELESS, now would we. This public display of frivolous elitism deserve every bit of criticism coming its way.
If you are trying to be logical, you have missed the mark. What does Condi Rice's shoes have to do with the topic? You must be a liberal. Maybe a socialist if you are voting for OBama.
>> What does Condi Rice's shoes have to do with the topic?
Are you serious? It's obvious - these clowns are far more interested in what they look like than what they should be doing as servants within our government.
If looking good is the case then Senator I-AM is among good company. They all will tell us what is needed to keep their power. Look at at what Pelosi told her constitutes that are up for reection. "Just tell them what they want to hear in regard to oil and drilling. Just get elected." Liars to the left, liars to the right and we are stuck in middle.
If I am a Liberal, are you a stupid Neo-Con? The point is that I am not jealous of McCain's shoes or money. I just want to make sure that this country stops f*cking up. You are probably dumb enough not to realize how badly Bush has ruined our country. There is nothing that McLame has done to prove that he will not do the same. You can keep on thinking that you are smart by calling people socialist or liberals, but at the end of the day your still unintelligent.
I must of struck a nerve for the liberal/socialist obamarobot to call me names. Spitting out the usual sound bites of Neo-con or mclame doesn't change the fact that Obama will take this country down the path of destruction.
As they say, Ignorance is bliss. You have to be ignorant to believe that the country is not already down a path of destruction. I want to take what ever your doctor prescribed you, because I would like to see the non-reality you live in.
I'd like for you to research the names: Rothschild and George Soros. Mine you, I believe that this country is still the best country in the free world. However, start conecting some dots to see were it leads you. This country will turn Marxists for several reasons. I'm not going to fight with about my belief or your belief. However, for your sake understand there is more to this election than meets the eye.
the guys wife is worth like over 100million. $500 for someone that rich is like 50 cents to the average person. He probably received them as a gift from her or someone else. Even if he bought them on his own who the fuck cares.
"$500 for someone that rich is like 50 cents to the average person" That's the whole point. If he gave a shite about the "average person", it would be different. This is a guy, though, who doesn't pump his own gas (yet he wants to run the country's energy) and who needs a flashcard to get the price of milk. Even if Obama were rich, he at least knows the basics of economic policies and cares about the "average person"
Obama can't afford pricey shoes when he's cutting twenty-seven thousand dollar checks to radical cleric, Jeremiah Wright. Plus, he prefers sandals. They're easier to take on and off when you have to wash your feet before mosque.
lmao - 7 months and you still try this b.s. Give me ONE piece of evidence that he cuts checks to Wright or that he's Muslim. Even SNOPES called it as it saw it (bs) 5 months ago. Go crawl back under the rock you came from.
Now, just because someone is rich as hell doesn't mean they can't understand what the average American is going through under the Bush Administration with the cost of living doubling & wages barely moving up -- BUT YOU CAN TELL BY WHAT HE SAYS THAT MCCAIN CAN'T!
this wouldnt be a issue except hes trying to win an election with the help of working class white men. you know the type of guy whos only $100+ piece of clothing are their steel-toed boots
Maybe the tide is turning and the media is getting the world loves democrats and they are good for business. And yeah put Obama on the dollar bill it might be worth something as people wil want it.
an elitist is some bullshit name idiot republicans made up to try and convince people that democratic candidates are snobs and republican candidates are regular people.
this is quite dumb, as most republicans are incredibly wealthy snobs that could care less about the people of america and only want to use them to get richer and richer.
peanut - considering that the man had to have a flashcard to know the price of milk, I'd say it has a lot to do with running the country, specifically economic issues and priorities
I don't care for McCain as a politician however if I had that kind of money I would have $520 shoes well being a girl I would def. have more expensive shoes. I don't find it unreal to have that expensive pair of shoes, hell we spent 500 on ear phones this year.
They say an idiot makes the SAME mistakes over and over again with NO reflection of the past.
With regret, I voted for Bush Jr. twice out of loyalty to the Republican Party. As a result my son has lost his leg fighting in Iraq under false pretenses. My family can not afford another four years of Bush policies!
Oh, please. Do people not know these guys are loaded? This is as retarded as the thing about Edward's haircut. If these guys didn't make an effort to look good in public I'd think they were idiots. Bigger idiots.
For $500?! Those shoes better make me not to walk on dog doo doo, mud, gum, etc, not make trip and look like a fool, not let no punk step on my feet, spit on it, etc. $500 damn!
the funny thing is that the republicans dont even try to paint themselves as non-elitist anymore, apparently the target group is so docile and dumbed down that they dont have to anymore, mccain is pretty much openly a financial elitist while accusing obama of being one, bushs policy was insanely pro-rich and mccain promises to continue it, yet poor blue collar people keep voting for them, its so absurd

This tax cuts for rich people flip flopper who claims to "get it" refering to struggling people is a phoney who thinks he deserves to be president just because he was a POW. Everyone who has ever had a hard time in war doesn't deserve to be president. Does everyone who has attended Harvard or Yale deserve to be president?
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Funny how liberals are whining about McCain's loafers while ignoring the fact that their Hollywood heroes wear shoes that are twice as much for one occasion only.
"Hollywood Heroes" aren't running for president. Unless you count Fred Thompson and Arnold S. if he could. Oh yeah, and there was some guy, can't remember his name but his initials were RR, he was president for two terms in the 80's. Fool.
Hey, if McCant is going to step all over America's economy he may as well do it in style.
Oh, and please dont show Cindy McNugget anymore. That stupid bimbo whore beer heiress annoys me to the core. Everytime i see Cindy McCocktrap, I would like nothing more than for someone to slap her silent.
Well, McCain has Anheuser Bush money from his wife, plus all o the money they've made in the banking fiascos that cost you and me money -- so he can afford these shoes. You have no idea how he's living if you think he takes these off when the cameras aren't rolling. They own what, 8 houses? Paid no taxes on their Calif house for several years.
The point is that Republicans ALWAYS try to label Dem candidates as "elite" and "out of touch" and they point to cars, choice of wine, etc. Remember how they tried to smear Kerry or Edwards with his expensive hair-cut? Why are Republicans immune to elitist charges and being out of touch? The bottom line is that haircuts and expensive shoes are BULLSHIT, but if you're gonna bash dems for it you have to be honest and equal and bash repubs too. Unless you're a conservative troll...
No one is advocating flat out "socialism". Some people just don't want completely unregulated capitalism of the sort that TANKED our economy over the last 8 years. You'd have to be insane to want 4 more years of this, unless you're living in a fantasy world and or a rich bubble.
So? the whole freakin media has been pounding Obama about being 'elitist'. When, of course they are BOTH elites, that is how you get to be a candidate. That's all.
this is nothing, just another silly issue that really holds no sway over whom would be a better candidate. Im waiting for the day the news actually reports on McCains classic republican ties with corporations and lobyists and the numerouse instances of him using his political power to make himself or a close friend a couple million bucks.
The news are not against us anymore? Is this the first step to being "fair news"? Oh please, the forces of the universe, make this kind of thing usual, please!
my thoughts are he went to italy and got them it was prob less expensive there but more expensive to visit there i love these old stories i had to go back and rewatch stuff

Um, if you think the shoes are excessive you should see his real estate or for that matter what the average celebrity makes. When Angelina Jolie is offered 20 million dollars for baby pictures and the media reports on it as a common news story, they look ridiculous commenting on politicians and their loafers. Obama will be a very rich man in the long run if he gains the presidency, and it's nothing new the people who become presidents are elitist like that.

Want a substantive view of McCain?
Just take a quick look at 'what happened' by jedreport. McCain is a bumbling, fumbling lying Fool.
Any republican supporting this senile gasbag is just another moron who thought Bush was a genius.

THE PROBLEM WITH THE DEMOCRATS
Loafergate wins elections!
The Dems rely too heavily on facts & figures & not enough on "emotional content"
People respond more to "moral framing" of elitist shoes rather than facts & figures
Dems need to use more "emotional & moral framing" to win more elections!
The Repubs have had this figured out for a very long time
Facts & figures may be more "sensible" -- But it doesn't win elections!
Pointing out the unfairness of McCain's elitism wins elections!

Oh please-What does shoes have to do with the issues. CNN is in the tank for Obama so I can see why they make fun of McCain and his shoes. By the way, anyone could wear $500 dollars if they saved their money. Stop spending your money on beer, junk or unnecessary items. A good pair of shoes will last longer also. This is just silly.
bookendgirl 3 years ago
It is hard to peg Obama as an elitist, when you are wearing $520 shoes. I agree it should not be an issue, but when you bring up elitism it is only right that you should be judged by your own arguments. Obama doesn't own 9 houses. Obama's wife is not the heir to a multi-million dollar distribution company. It seems everything that comes out of the McLame campaign has a little bit of hypocrisy.
MrInappropriate7 3 years ago
Give Obama time. He'll own a lot of houses with more of those sweet house deals. Are you jealous of McCain's shoes or his money? You must be a liberal. Maybe your a socialist if you are voting for Obama.

Are you serious? Remember Condi Rice's little shoe-shopping expedition right in the middle of the Hurricane Katrina mess? We surely wouldn't want to deprive her of her shoes while there where thousands of people who were HOMELESS, now would we. This public display of frivolous elitism deserve every bit of criticism coming its way.

If I am a Liberal, are you a stupid Neo-Con? The point is that I am not jealous of McCain's shoes or money. I just want to make sure that this country stops f*cking up. You are probably dumb enough not to realize how badly Bush has ruined our country. There is nothing that McLame has done to prove that he will not do the same. You can keep on thinking that you are smart by calling people socialist or liberals, but at the end of the day your still unintelligent.

To call Democrats Marxists is a worse slander than saying Republicans want an anarchy market.
Stop with the labels. At least with people who give their reasons people can agree or tell them where they're wrong.

the guys wife is worth like over 100million. $500 for someone that rich is like 50 cents to the average person. He probably received them as a gift from her or someone else. Even if he bought them on his own who the fuck cares.

"$500 for someone that rich is like 50 cents to the average person" That's the whole point. If he gave a shite about the "average person", it would be different. This is a guy, though, who doesn't pump his own gas (yet he wants to run the country's energy) and who needs a flashcard to get the price of milk. Even if Obama were rich, he at least knows the basics of economic policies and cares about the "average person"

The point is that Republicans ALWAYS try to label Dem candidates as "elite" and "out of touch" and they point to cars, choice of wine, etc. Remember how they tried to smear Kerry or Edwards with his expensive hair-cut?
