I hope more people see this. It goes to show how out of touch he is with the average American.

[spanone]

1. and somehow obama is the elitist....bwahahahahaa

[Blue Diadem]

3. Air conditioned play house!

:rofl:

I'm wondering what McCain's other houses look like now.

[crazylikafox]

2. good point. Let's keep this out there.

[rurallib]

4. Let's see, I could fit about 20 of my houses in that mansion.

[Cronus Protagonist]

28. I could stand at my apartment window and watch the two of you comparing your real estate investments

:|

[nolabels]

5. link goes to a blank CNN video

:shrug:

[Blue Diadem]

6. Did you give it a few seconds. Mine shows black then goes to commerical,

then goes to the tour.

[nolabels]

9. Something about my firefox browser or something

Most everything else works and the few updates i tried also didn't work so maybe next time, thanks anyway :hi:

[alcibiades_mystery]

7. Considering purchase of a brush-strewn pig farm?

:shrug:

[dogtag]

8. Whoever decorated that mess of a house

should be shot. Every room is a disaster. Hideous, tasteless clutter.

[spinbaby]

10. Just an oversized McMansion

Makes my shack look good.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

12. Did you catch the reproduction of the Mona Lisa over the fireplace?

Every part of the place was tacky.

[Usrename]

33. Yep! That's what got me too.

The place is heinous.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

37. lol! I wonder if there were any velvet paintings of Elvis that we didn't see in the video?

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[FatDave]

40. Or maybe...

[aikoaiko]

11. I don't think people will begrudge McCain and wife having money.

Elitism (as a political pejorative) is not about money.

[Blue Diadem]

17. I don't think they'll begrudge him for that reason either.

It's that he can't possibly know how the average American really lives. He's had so much for so long, he probably has no idea what the average pay is for American workers or what groceries cost.

[marions ghost]

13. Looks very "Saudi Palace" to me...

:rofl: and :puke:

forward this!

[notadmblnd]

23. Gaudy; is the word I use to describe it

he should keep it, cause, he's not moving into the White House.

[marions ghost]

24. A Gaudy Saudi Palace

yeah it's tacky ostentatious all right...wonder how many housemaids they had.

I think he likes his hideaway in Sedona now (poor Sedona).

[bdamomma]

14. mccain cannot relate to the American people he is all for

the rich man, we are on the back burner, can you see Cindy relating to the American people give me a break.

[TahitiNut]

15. Those poor McCain's ... having to sell in a down market.

:nopity: :nopity:

[Fla Dem]

38. Yeah, but they're under the illusion they are moving into a big white house in Washington DC.

So Sad, imagine their disappointment.

[LibertyLover]

16. I hate that type of interior decorating

It is just so cluttered and piles more stuff on top of more stuff. I honestly have to say that I didn't see any piece of furniture or decoration that made me say "Oh, that's nice - I'd like to have something like that." Each to their own of course, but not my cup of tea at all. Oh, and we have a wine-tasting room in our house too - of course it's also the breakfast room, the dining room, the kid's (air conditioned) play area, the office and the kid's homework area.

[Blue Diadem]

18. It is terribly cluttered with stuff isn't it?

Not my taste at all.

I got a kick out of the 3 bars...forgot what the reporter called them, around the pool. Heaven forbid if somebody had to walk very far to get a drink.

[LibertyLover]

21. Well, you know how it is with the Haves -

they have to Have More.

[JHB]

19. I guess it's my day to be nit-police, but...

That estate is not a "Mc"mansion, it's the genuine article.

[spinbaby]

20. No, it's not.

It's a big honking oversized McMansion. It has nothing to do with size, it has to do with taste.

[Blue Diadem]

22. Cnn actually labeled it a Mac-Mansion.

I referred to it as a McMansion because it's McCains.

[petgoat]

25. So watch someone pay three times what it's worth. nt

[tandot]

26. That is what happens when rich trash without any taste start decorating

Stuff the whole house with expensive sh*t just so other people can see how well off they are

[NNN0LHI]

27. 13 fireplaces in the desert? Holy shit

[aikoaiko]

30. It gets cold at night.

I miss the smell of aligator juniper burning in desert fireplaces.

[ColbertWatcher]

29. Part of American history? WTF!? n/t

[Enthusiast]

31. I dream of two full baths. nt

[Blue Diadem]

36. I'd be elated to have an extra 1/2 bath. We only have one full

and it drives me insane at times. Two full baths would be in my wildest dreams!

[Enthusiast]

43. I'm sure John McCain feels your pain.

:hi:

[MgtPA]

32. I think it's just tacky - looks like a Raymour & Flanigan showroom

[karynnj]

34. Tell me again why Barack Obama is the elitist

This is the life he has led since dumping his first wife. He may be the most out of touch man to run.

[Az_lefty]

35. looks like a French palace...just gaudy.

[redwitch]

39. "I'm sorry, this video is no longer available"

Darn. I was hoping to see the decor. If it is anything like the way Cindy dresses...

[Blue Diadem]

41. Try this link:

illegal codeCNNPlaylistManager.getInstance().BVPMVideoSelected('/video/politics/2008/10/01/dnt.mccain.house.for.sale.ktvk.json','by_section_politics');

I copied the shortcut shown for the video. If it doesn't work, you can select it from the play video area at the orginial link, down at the bottom of the page. Scroll down 3-4 rows.

It does remind me of the way Cindy dressed at the convention. Wasn't that when she wore that gaudy gold dress?

[redwitch]

42. Oh yeah, the gold dress.

She needs someone to dress her.

Thanks for the link, I will try it.
