FOX: Obama on McCain's mansions "bashes the American Dream"

FOX/the republicans have gone into overdrive trying to defend John McCain for not knowing how many homes he owns. They've attempted to explain it away with made up excuses, deflect it by claiming that calling out McCain's cluelessness is somehow attacking Cindy McCain, and there's the ever-popular, way-overused, "But he was a POW!" card that supposedly excuses you for every unethical, stupid thing you've ever done, said, or will do or say in the future.

Predictably, the right is attempting to reframe McCain's cluelessness by saying that Barack Obama is actually attacking people for doing well and owning multiple homes, not people like McCain who are so clueless/obscenely wealthy that they don't know or care how many homes they own. On Your World, Neil Cavuto claimed that by attacking McCain for having multiple homes, Obama was really "bashing the American Dream."

The American Dream is not to become so obscenely wealthy that you lose track of how many you own and have no idea how wealthy you are. For the vast majority of Americans, including myself, the American Dream is owning one home, paying it off, raising your family there, and being able to send your kids to college. Having too many homes is the dream of the extremely rich. But McCain thinks the problem with America isn't that people are losing their homes and their jobs — it's that rich people and corporations don't have enough money.

Well giving too much to the rich takes away the chances of an American dream for others.

You can work your whole life to achieve the american dream or just simply leave your damaged wife after you return home, and marry it.

McCain has no idea what its like for the common man. None. He has been affluent his ENTIRE life and will continue to protect those like him.
