1. Didn't even watch the video, but if he thinks he's not rich, he's definitely completely out of
touch. It seems that the rich's *definition* of 'rich' keeps going up and up and up, to where very few people are 'actually rich', in THEIR minds. To me there are millions and millions of 'rich' people in this country.

12. Video is inaccurate...
Not quite the video I was hoping to nail him with..

He's clearly making a joke of how he's a gambling man and not good at prediciting baseball games after going off for 2 minutes on his prediction.

Its clearly a joke if you see the entire context.

I was hoping it was something Obama could use in a ad

3. Holy Horatio.
Baseball? That's the most important issue, a month from the election?

And, for the record, McCain isn't a rich man. He's a gigolo married to a rich woman.

5. Typical Moron Joe bullshit, trying to put some lipstick on this pig McCain -- and Mika Brzezinski!
Edited on Thu Oct-02-08 10:31 AM by bobd0
It is painfully obvious that Moron Joe is trying desperately to make McCain seem palatable by talking sports/guy talk with him instead of talking about issues that McCain can't speak to outside of his limited campaign rhetoric. And Mika Brzezinski has become the epitome of sexism with her subservient ass kissing.

Good girl, Mika. Your father must be very proud of you. :eyes: :puke:

8. Mika is doing what she's been doing.
That's why she has that job. She'll play ball for that nice, fat check.

6. He hasn't a clue about money and so out of touch. This would make a great segment in
an anti-McCrash video along with his other comments..about millionaires being middle class, about all of his houses and cars.....

9. Lay off him guys. I'm sure that he meant it in the spiritual sense
Or he was referring to his health and/or abilities.

11. Hmm... interesting.
Sounds like McLame just admitted that he's gambled all his money away... therefore we should let him manage the economy. :evilgrin:

13. No, he's just a parasite who married into a stupendously wealthy family...
...so, if he's only counting money he himself made through his own talent and labor, then I suppose he's right.
