That what McCain said about $5 mil is a joke is beyond obvious. That the Left acts like it isn't shows most of you lot's claims to "intellectual honesty" are an even bigger joke.
Clearly you can see at 1:42 even though the angle was on Rick Warren that McCain facial gesture shows he was making a joke. And he says next, "Seriouslly...". Classic example of Obama camp taking McCain's words out of context.
After hearing this in context my impression is that McCain threw it out facetiously.
Unfortunate that he did, because that form of humor DOES get distorted in political campaigns. This one certainly was blown up out of the truth zone once Obama's campaign grabbed and distorted it.
Want to talk about rich? Look at how much Obama is SPENDING to win! Does anyone think he's going to be more frugal once he's elected?
jamidwyer, how can you really know that it wasn't a joke until the pastor laughed in shock? also, how can you know that the pastor laughed in shock and not simply because he thought it was funny? in fairness, maybe you are right, but it seems to me that you are stating an assumption as fact.
I can say McCain got that right?

I take that back. I watched it agin. McCain said, "So, I think, if you're just talking about income, how about five million?"
*shrugs*
I tried. Some people can't be helped.

He probably meant it in terms of net worth, not annual income. I didn't vote for McCain, I'm just sayin, this is probably much ado about nothing.
