isn't much of an issue, IMHO.

For those supposed 13 McCain vehicles, they are paying taxes on all of the cars with tags, while they only drive one at a time, per person of course. With his arm/finger injuries, how much driving does John McCain do anyway?

And I find it hard to believe that Michelle Obama doesn't have a car, either.

It is mostly about class envy.

So they didn't throw in anything about the Palin cars/trucks, just for grins?

IF the O man get elected, he'll own ALL of our cars.

Wonder if any American labor went into building those cars and homes?

How dare McCain provide jobs for Americans rather than vote them welfare like Obama the almsgiver.

Drudge report has a nice comeback..., headline about the McCain's 13 cars and a picture of OObama walking past his pre-presidential jet!

So did Obama fail to disclose his bus?  You know, the one he threw Rev. Wright under?

Barry owns only one car? Wow, he's a man of the people. Just like us. Guess that makes us liars, crooks, America-hating Communists. By the way, how much have you or your kids benefitted from Affirmative Action programs? Has anyone attended Princeton or Harvard lately? And how about that $300,000 hospital job they just gave your wife. Enjoying that money, are you? And I understand you too made $4,000,000 in 2007. Now you too can pay off those college "loans" cute* little Michelle complained about. Aren't you lucky.

*At least she thinks she's "cute"; I don't

NEVER,NEVER trust a "liberal"

The Obamas are poorer millionaires than the McCains, only one million-dollar home and one car. Wonder how the Obama kids get to school, public transportation? How sad. Let’s have a pity party.

Funny, but Dems would have us believe that anybody who has attained success in this country is evil. Wealthy people are not more 'fortunate' or 'lucky'. They just work harder. What's illuminating is that Dems contribute less to charity than Republicans. What they are good at is taking money from others at gunpoint and giving it to the less 'fortunate'.

On The Simpsons, Ned Flanders son once asked, "Daddy, why do we pay taxes?" and Ned replied, "We pay taxes for lots of things...roads, schools, policemen and fireman, and for people who just dont feel like working, God bless 'em!"

Isnt that the truth.

Wow! 13 cars! Could it be, maybe, that they have 7 children? Don't Dems let their kids drive cars?

When my eldest was living at home, we had 5 cars, 3 of them were his (Mr. Motorhead, Nissan and Honda). Now that our younger two are about to get their licenses, we'll be adding 2 more so now we'll have 4 again.

13 cars for 7 people isn't much of a stretch.

What a crock. Wow, McCain's ride is an (almost 5-yr old) Caddy?

That 'stable' of 13 personally-owned cars probably has a total Bluebook of $75,000. That's a tuneup for one of P Diddy's Bentleys.

That lineup wouldn't even make the cut as the 4th-rate rapper on 'Cribs'.

Next shallow hit-piece, please...

There will be no end to the things you must hand over to the O man and his sidekick slow Joe biden!

First will be your faith which will require a pledge of allegience to His LORD Obama. Then all your assets to be "given" to Obama supporters and that's just the beginning!

STOP the madness - We must stop Barack Obama NOW!

 In the old movie, The Magnificient Seven, they Mexicans are looking for hired gunmen to proect their town.
There is one guy in a bar with a scarred up face, mean looking and like nobody you would want to ever meet.

As they are discussing about inviting him to join their group, they instead decide, "I want the man who made the guys face like that as he is the winner and this guy is the looser."

In that Newsweek is typical liberal in bashing successful people.

Do Americans want a President who was able to nab a good looking rich gal, who is brilliant and able to afford over a dozen vehicles AS THEY ARE A MULTI RESIDENCE FAMILY as most political and corporate families are and they don't drive the Dodge to DC and then back home on the weekends or do you want an Obama who conned the first needy South side woman he found who could make his slum lord record run for President?

I want the rich guy or the guy with the rich wife, because he can't be bribed as he already has the money and won't like Barack Obama be selling out his own people for a million dollar book deal.

Liberals never do get the point as they write from their own 6 figure salaries, vacation in pedophile southeast Asia and can't figure out that the McCains like numbers of Americans would be buying Ford's if Ford invested time in making cars which ran instead of focusing on gay day and GM made cars which ran instead of being a retirement account for old people.

I would buy a 50 mpg Volkswagon diesel too over a 28 mgp Ford.

After bashing the US automakers, I love Buicks, Chevy Luminas are nice long lasting cars, but US makers have got to get back to old carbs, engines that can sit for 6 months and still run, and leave those computers off so prices drop down to $9,000 bare bones starter cars.

Hi Michael,

I agree completely, the 13 vs. 1 car is a non-issue.

But I do have to point out one problem in your scenario: "Somehow, I can't imagine Michelle Obama standing on a Chicago corner waiting for the bus."

I guess it never occured to you that the car that is registered in both their names might be used by her, even when both of them are in Chicago.

Also, while I agree that the number of cars is a non-issue, the article does again bring up McCain's tendency to change what he says depending on who he's talking to: first, he says he bought the Prius for his daughter, then he says (talking to a Detroit radio station) she bought it herself. Why does he keep flip-flopping and contradicting himself?

We must have both been sharing the same wave-lengths for awhile. I spent some time today reading this story on one of the biggest liberal blogs and kept wondering.... do these people have lives? I happen to read about this nonsense under this blogs "Politics" section, and to my surprise, the subject about the number of cars McCain owns had the most comments out of all the other stories. Anotherwords, this is what interested liberals more than any political story. I copied some of these moronic comments here... Liberals Latest Important Issue

Making Fun of AGW http://giovanniworld.wordpress.com/  

My favorite comment from liberals (young-ish artists) in response to this is that because he owns sooo many houses and soooo many cars, he can't possibly understand them!  (But yet Obama understands them... Mr. Millionaire...)

 Also loved one saying that complaining about the number of cars someone owns is like communism, which is bad, but they're voting Democrat anyway (on the issues, not the materialism).  Oi vey.  If they don't like communism, why are they voting for Obama?

notice how quickly cnn will close comments on a subject if the jist of the comments starts to run against "the party line".
