Candidates Recent Incidents

Most of you have probably heard about both Barack Obama’s and John McCain’s recent incidents. John McCain was recently asked how many houses he owned. His response was “I think — I’ll have my staff get to you. It’s condominiums where — I’ll have them get to you.” Of course Obama immediately jumped at this opportunity and put out an ad on McCain not knowing how many houses he has and therefore is not in touch with the economy.

Obama’s recent incident involves his half brother. The following is an ad running in Texas. “Barack Obama has viciously attacked John McCain and his family for being successful and living the American dream,” the narrator says, as the ad then flashes up pictures of Obama body surfing and golfing. “Obama claims he is looking out for our families in an economic downturn, but ask yourself this: If Obama cares so much about your family, why doesn’t he take care of his own family first?” The ad then shows a picture of Obama’s stately Chicago home, and one of Onyango’s shack. “Barack Obama lives in this house … while his own brother lives in this one,” the narrator says.

Both of these incidents have the possibilites of hurting both of these Presidential Candidates. The question is, who will it hurt more?
