CNN chart purporting to compare candidates' "wealth" omitted Cindy McCain.


Summary: On The Situation Room, an on-screen chart showed Sen. John McCain's income to be significantly lower than that of Sens. Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton when combined with the income of their spouses. However, the chart did not include any income earned by McCain's wife, Cindy. As Dana Bash reported moments earlier of Cindy McCain, "Some estimates actually put her worth at about $100 million."

More on the story.

Teflon John and Cindy make the Clinton's and Obama's look like poor people. You first have to remember Clinton/Obama earned their money. John married a beer Heiress. Cindy doesn't do anything but collect what her Father founded. That's why she can buy a husband or anything else that's for sale. Look if the White House were for sale Cindy could buy it for Teflon John.
Cindy McCain gets over 100 million dollars a year for doing nothing. Now as for Teflon John he's just getting as much as he can from the kick backs as Senator, his social security check and his pay check as Senator. He's not doing to well on his own as we see. The Clintons are doing well with Bill working around the world on speaking events/books/foundation and Hillary with her job/books and smart investments. Yes Dubai is a great investment. As for Obama's well he and Michelle were about doing as well together as McCain until Obama got to be Senator and wrote his book. Yes being Senator works well with deals and promises. I like it went a friend told me look at the income a year before a person took office and that tells the story.
