He also added: "This is a guy who lived in one house for five and a half years -- in prison," referring to the prisoner of war camp that McCain was in during the Vietnam War.

This is just getting pathetic. The above statement by a McCain Campaing worker was in response to Obama's assertion that McCain's huge numbers of personal homes (4) and property holding (>10)is evidence that the main has little or no capacity to understand the struggles that American's face in today's economy. What the FUCK does that have to do with being a POW in the 1970's?!? McCain's constant evocation of his prisoner of war status is becoming reminiscent of Rudy Guliani's constant references to 911. After what the Republicans did to Jon Kerry's war record and heroic service in the 2004 election we should not stand for this kind of crap. There were delegates at the Republican National Convention in 2004 wearing little band-aids with little purple hearts painted onto them in a putrid attempt to mock Kerry's war injuries. A now we are expected to sit down and shut up every time they bring up McCain's war record. Well that is Bullshit! Obama should call them out for using POW's as a distractions and a prop. I want to see a quote in some news article where Obama asks "What does being a POW have to do with today's Mortgage and housing Crisis? Why bring that up?"
