Who cares how much debt they have, as long as they are paying on it and not stiffing people, does it matter?
I am sure there have been people in congress and even Bush himself that their personal finances have nothing to do with the way they manage the governments. Bush is a millionaire, but he spends the tax payers money like a drunk sailor.
Don't you understand. This is the NEW economy, where debt should be embraced and savings should be demonized. Saving money is socialist.
Uncle Ben's been nice enough to enforce this vis-a-vis inflation.
Then McCain is the candidate for today and moving forward into the future. He can't raise money and now the management and avoidance of personal debt is under discussion just the type of guy you can into their eyes and see Joe Average American. Silly Obama writes a book makes money and invests in his children's future. NoBama for this country what kind of foolishness is that. The elitist.
Did some research and this story is getting some legs to it. Seems as though answers are in their May 15 disclosure statement. You really need to sort through the google links as many of the articles come with their own twist (surprise). This one from Huffington which is not a we love McCain site does have a link to part of their May statement. Ready To Laugh At McCain Family Debt? Not So Fast ... - Politics on The Huffington Post
According to the May 15, 2008 disclosure form, though, during 2007 Cindy McCain originated an individual debt of between $250,000 and $500,000 with a zero-percent interest AmEx that was still not paid off by the time of the time of that filing.

They are worth MILLIONS and they like to pay with credit cards and not cash.
As for Obama good for him as it seems he can manage his money that is a lot easier to do than to manage other peoples money. BTW congress is in charge so what is the point here?
Yeah, so much for identifying with the common man. No wonder so many blue collar workers are "bitter".
I'm a common person and have a comparable amount of assets to Obama and unlike McCain I don't have debt. I just invested wisely, that's all. I own guns and believe in God. Then again, I don't support Obama.

This just goes in line with "zero fed rate" talk and his ignorance on economics, plus the unAmerican seditous lobbyist Phil Gramm within his inner circle.
