Cindy McCain “Offended” By Obama Speech

[TeamJordan23]

Cindy McCain tells Stephanopolous that Obama Offended Her

ABC News' George Stephanopoulos reports: Democrats' attacks on her family's wealth are unfair and offensive, Cindy McCain said today in an interview airing tomorrow on "This Week with George Stephanopoulos."

For nearly two weeks, Democrats have repeatedly hit Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., for saying he is unaware of how many houses he owns, calling the presumptive Republican presidential nominee out of touch with everyday Americans. In his acceptance speech at the Democratic convention on Thursday, Democratic nominee Barack Obama turned up the heat on McCain, saying he "doesn't know" about the lives of middle-class Americans.

"I'm offended by Barack Obama saying that about my husband," said McCain’s wife Cindy.
When asked if Obama went too far in his criticism of McCain, Cindy responded, "I do. I do. I really do."

McCain also said beer distributorship her father built, which is the source of much her family's wealth, typifies the American Dream.

"My father had nothing. He and my mother sold everything they had to raise $10,000," she said. "I'm proud of what my dad and my mother did and what they built and left me. And I intend to carry their legacy as long as I can."

More of the exclusive interview with Cindy McCain airs tomorrow on "This Week."

1. Good. Now if we can just get Obama to call her

a vile word, she'll be all over him like a cheap suit.

What an asshole.

[roguevalley]

98. I didn't know you could offend a trollop. poor widdow baby. probably

not used to black men speaking their mind. they usually open doors and wash windows for her. sick puppy.

[progressiveforever]

109. Remember when Mrs. Cheney was upset with Kerry?

She was mad because Kerry mentioned that Cheney's daughter, a proud lesbian, was a lesbian. He wasn't using it against her; he was making a point.

Same here. Obama is calling a spade a spade.

[TwilightGardener]

2. At least Obama doesn't plaster on the makeup like a trollop, you cunt.

[Heather MC]

85. ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

How dare now I am offended

[progressivebydesign]

105. hey! That's what John considers foreplay! n/t

[Fox Mulder]

3. ...

:nopity:

:eyes:

[speedoo]

4. Awwww. That's a shame.

Poor Cindy. (fuck off, Cindy)

[AtomicKitten]

5. Oh dear.

[Missouri Girl]

6. Cindy needs to put on her big girl pants

If she can't handle that criticism, then she should have urged her husband to not run for office. McCan't has been getting off easy as far as criticism is concerned, with an overabundance of respect given for his P O W status.

[progressivebydesign]

106. Yeah, it's ODD how the GOP didn't give a fuck about his POW stance in 2000...

and yet, here is the GOP and corporate media suddenly caring that he was a POW. Gosh.. when Bush and friends and the media were spreading rumors that McCranky was nuts, was angry, and had an illegitimate love child, they didn't care a bit about the POW thing. Hmmm.. isn't that odd?? And for their trouble, John is Bush's biggest cheerleader and forehead kisser...

[BurgherHoldtheLies]

7. How very "old world" European of you, Cindy....INHERITING your wealth

The new world (American) way is all men are created equal.

[livetohike]

12. I'm surprised that silver spoon isn't causing her to gag

She's despicable.

[BurgherHoldtheLies]

39. On an unrelated note: GO STEELERS nt

[livetohike]

55. I am psyched up for this season!

I really like Dennis Dixon. I hope he hangs around with us for a while. He's got one heck of an arm :-).

[awoke_in_2003]

88. Just replying to you

because I like seeing all the steelers logos in a row.

[awoke_in_2003]

89. Oh, and go Steelers. nt

[Heather MC]

43. Ok the "Left for Me"part of her statement is sick when you consider she has sister's who got nothing

she is soul-less

[1Hippiechick]

50. Expound, please, since trash is being thrown around about Obama's brother's living conditions. n/t

[last1standing]

71. Cindy McSame's half-sister only got $10,000 from her father's will.

After that she was cut off and the McSames don't even talk to her.

[Heather MC]

77. Obama's brother doesn't say that. Cindy has said more than once she is an only child

Her Father Left next to nothing to the kids from his first marriage
and Cindy never shared a dime with her sister
Obama did not come from Great wealth, he didn't know his father
he didn't meet his Kenyan Family til he was a grown man
hardly the same thing

[1Hippiechick]

78. ?? I know Obama didn't say that - comparing the stories of his and Sindy's siblings -

the story about Obama's brother is a lie, the one about Sindy's is true - which SHOULD make it a relevant topic in the media after they trashed Obama about his brother.

[livetohike]

53. One look at her eyes tells you that I think

It's frightening and android like.

[eridani]

113. That's just botox, I think n/t

[moriah]

107. I heard this quote on POTUS "He can't help it, he was born with a silver foot in his mouth!"

And personally I think that was a "silver foot" type moment, not a spoon.

The American Dream is to marry into wealth? Wow. I didn't know that.

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

8. I'm proud of your dad, too. He worked hard to earn his wealth.

You and your husband, on the other hand, need to get a fucking job and earn your own fortune.

[eleny]

70. Cindy's father was handed the distributorship for taking a fall

"The Hensley saga, meanwhile, swirls with bygone accounts of illicit booze, gambling, horse racing, deceit and crime. James Hensley embarked on his road to riches as a bootlegger.

James Hensley profited handsomely from his association with liquor magnate Kemper Marley, a man police suspect ordered the 1976 murder of Arizona Republic reporter Don Bolles, who had written about Marley's business and political dealings.

By 1955, James Hensley had launched a Budweiser distributorship in Phoenix, a franchise reportedly bestowed upon him by Marley, who was never indicted in the 1948 federal liquor-law-violation case -- or a subsequent one -- despite his controlling financial role in the liquor distribution businesses."

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

73. Well, at least he was a crook in his own right...

Maybe Johnny is a self-made man, afterall! And Cindy's a crackhead, so it's all in the family.

[eleny]

74. Johnny is a "made man" but not "self made"!

:hi:

[nc4bo]

9. HA! Sindy's reaction is just.......rich!! lol nt.

[AlCzervik]

10. boofrigginghoo.

[yourguide]

11. Bwaaaahahahahaha.

More smear from the McCain's courtesy of ABC, shocker.

[Left Is Write]

13. I feel for you, Cindy. How "offensive" indeed that Obama called your husband on being out of touch.

Yes, yes. What a horrible, offensive thing to say.

Good grief.

[27inCali]

14. cindy added, "let them eat cake."

how dare they criticize the rich old lady! don't they know how rough it is being rich! haha

[monmouth]

15. Another lucky bimbette, born into it.....n/t

[Pirate Smile]

16. Michelle loves it when John accuses Barack of being a traitor - Just.Loves.It.

Maybe Cindy can mock Michelle about the Proud comment again. Cindy - so classy. :eyes:

[Left Is Write]

35. She reminds me of Lynne "John Kerry is not a good man!" Cheney.

:eyes:

[rurallib]

Thank you for re-inforcing how rich you are Cindy! Loudly on TV

and thanks for reminding folks that it was inherited and Johnny married wealth.
And thanks for reminding us that YOUThank you for reminding us that you are damn near the epitome of a rich greedy .......

[flamingdem]

17. Cindy must be full of herself after being schmoozed in Georgia nt

[Skidmore]

18. Sounds like she's more offended on her father's behalf and not her husbands.

I really could care less if she is offended. I find her and her husband offensive.

[Bucky]

19. "I do. I do. I really do." Shit, once more the McCains have got that damn Abba song in my head

Now I gotta break out the Ramones CD again, the only known antidote for Abba skull infection.

[GoesTo11]

20. "Obama is out of touch with rich Americans"

"We have to struggle to shelter our fortunes from taxes. We worry about whether our hedge funds will beat their benchmarks. We have to pick the right chief butler to manage the household staff. It's not easy being so rich, never knowing where your next meal is coming from or where you'll sleep that night (because you might be at any one of your mansions)."

[jgraz]

21. Aw, poor beer heiress. Here, have a percocet.

[1Hippiechick]

51. Laugh out loud funny!

:rofl:

[fishwax]

92. .

:rofl:

[KharmaTrain]

22. So When Will Judas Streptacoccus Interview Kathleen Hensley Portalski

The sister Cindy claims she doesn't have...the daughter of her father's first marriage (where he made all his wealth) and then left her only $10gs in his will while giving pampered VicoCindy the family fortune. That's quite a "legacy" ya got there Cindy...one rotting liver, one ruined marriage at a time.

ABC is dead to me...as are most the other networks...totally in the tank....

[TwilightGardener]

23. The GOP is trying to use women as a shield--first Miss Mooseburgers, now Miss Rodeo Queen.

Watch 'em--the GOP is now hiding behind women's skirts and screaming "victim".

[farmbo]

24. "My father had nothing"..er..not exactly..he had at least two women on the side...

... you know, Cindy...the two "other women" who he knocked up then abandoned...you know...your invisible sisters' moms.

[Bluerthanblue]

25. how proud is she of her half sister? The woman her father abandoned

as a child when he fell in love with another woman? (Cindy's mother)?

Is it the American Dream to dump your first family when someone you like better comes along?

Cindy has never known what life outside her "legacy empire" is like- And JMack's own mother was an Oil Heiress who's father struck it rich and never worked another day after age 40- There was no lack or want for physical necessities in either one of thier lives.

Cindy and her husband have NO concept of what life is like for the average American, never mind those who live on the bitter edges of this "inherited wealth" society of ours.


Stickitinyourear Cindy.

[GreenPartyVoter]

38. Indeed

[1corona4u]

26. Who cares what that wrinkled up douchebag thinks...

really.

[hulklogan]

27. Her father had nothing, and now thanks to her, her sisters also have nothing.

Well done Cindy, I was beginning to pity you. But now I know you're just a spoiled rich brat.

[FrenchieCat]

28. Is she offended at her husband's questionning Obama's ability to lead?

didn't think so.

Selective outrage measured to get women to start thinking that Obama is offensive.

ABC shouldn't even be printing this tripe.

[TwilightGardener]

41. I don't think she's even offended by his choice of VP, a pretty airhead

that McHorndog can stare at and chase around the desk.

[1Hippiechick]

57. And we know McInsane's penchant for beauty queens! Sindy's protected her fortune.

so JohnnyBoy can play dress-up with Palin "I'll be the president, you be the vice president and your number one responsibility is to check on my health each day. BTW, my viagra doesn't seem to be working. Look at this!"

[TwilightGardener]

59. Yep--there's a pre-nup in place for gals like Vicki Iseman and Sarah Palin.

[npincus]

29. boo fucking-hoo.

[jazzjunkysue]

30. Yet the ice queen still misses the point: Michell's educated and brilliant and young.

Cindy's thin.

[mitchum]

31. Take another pill, honey

[Lyric]

32. Poor, poor Cindy. We should send her a care package!

It can include:

-Some gold-leafed Kleenex, for rich-girl weepy moments
-Burt's Bees to soothe her chapped little prissy ass
-Some Depends for Daddy, I mean Hubby
-A case of her family's most popular moose piss (a.k.a. beer). She can share it with Palin, who seems to have a thing for moose.
-A truckload of Big Girl Pants. Apparently she doesn't have any.

Poor, poor, Cindy. Yes, we should all pity the heiresses and billionaires of the world. They have it so damned hard. It must be horrible to have every comfort and every desire fulfilled from birth until they lay you in your diamond-studded, perfumed casket. And also, POW POW POW POW POW POW POW!!!!111

I could just WEEP for her.
:cry:

[charlyvi]

37. You forgot the percocet and vicodin

[1Hippiechick]

60. Sindy's statement refutes Palin's statement about being in politics and whining!

Palin's on tape accusing HRC of whining during the campaign in a lengthy "this-is-for-the-camera-pagent-response"

[mitchum]

33. Invoking the memory of her MOBBED UP FATHER as a sympathy ploy

fuck her

[charlyvi]

34. And I'm offended by a woman who steals drugs from her own

nonprofit relief charity, then uses her contacts to squirm her way out of jail by promising to enter rehab then doesn't.

[Kitty Herder]

66. Most people would not have gotten away with that.

The law operates differently for the rich and powerful. And that's offensive.

[madaboutharry]

36. Hey Cindy,

You are a stupid twit.

[LongDistanceRunner]

40. McLame sends his becasted wife out to defend him

what an utter douchebag

[fascisthunter]

42. Shhhh... Don't Stress Yourself Too Much Lady.... and Take it easy on your wrist

now go and powder your nose, McCain wants you to present your goods on stage.

[bronxiteforever]

44. Cue Hall and Oates

High and dry, out of the rain
It's so easy to hurt others when you can't feel pain
And don't you know that a love can't grow
Cause there's too much to give
Cause you'd rather live for the thrill of it all, oh

You're a rich girl (rich girl), and you've gone too far
Cause you know it don't matter anyway (rich girl)
You can rely on the old man's money
You can rely on the old man's money
It's a bitch girl (rich girl), and it's gone too far
Cause you know it don't matter anyway (rich girl)
Say money, but it won't get you too far
Say money, but it won't get you too far
Say money, but it won't get you too far, get you too far

[Riddler]

45. Too bad you weren't "offended" by John screwing you while he was still married, you slut

[JVS]

46. Waaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh!

[RadicalTexan]

47. Well, then, it's mutual. Cause I am VERY offended by Cindy's inherited wealth.

nt

[Phx_Dem]

48. Poor Cindy . . .

:cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry:

She didn't think it was too offensive to mock Michelle and question her patriotism. Fuck off Cindy.

[DesertRat]

49. How about when John offered you up for Miss Buffalo Chip

the topless beauty pagent? Didn't that offend you?

[mnhtnbb]

56. Oh, no. She'd probably love to wiggle her bony a$$ in that contest.

[JaneQPublic]

52. Yeah, Well, Cindy, I'm "Offended" that you were fucking a married man...

...and now you and your cheating husband have gall to present yourselves as good enough to be president and first lady of this country, let along cry croccodile tears over a criticism your "kept" man of a husband so rightfully deserves.

[Sherman A1]

54. If you can't stand the heat.....

get out of the kitchen..

[graywarrior]

58. His speech was like throwing water on the Wicked Witch

[Danger Mouse]

61. Fuck you, Cindy., You offended yet?

[seabeyond]

62. and what does her father have to do with mccain knowledge of shit. n/t

[RTFirefly]

63. Pity the persecuted rich white heirs of America!

Thing's never go their way, do they?

[stevietheman]

64. And soon, my dear, you and Teresa Heinz Kerry can start a support group. :) n/t

n/t

[goodgd_yall]

65. She can be proud

But McCain left a disabled wife and married a family rolling in dough. And he gives short shrift to the economic problems of the poor and middle class. That's not anything McCain can be proud of.

[Kitty Herder]

67. Cry me a fuckin' river.

I'm offended that the McCain's have seven houses, while there are veterans living in the street.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

68. She can send a servant boy to hand-deliver the letter.

[eshfemme]

69. Rich people need love too!

Oh boo hoo, cry me a fucking river Cindy. I haven't even started crying for myself or others like myself with a shitload of debt just because I tried to better myself much less for you.

[CreekDog]

72. Well, pour her a cold one, because she's going to need it

:eyes:

[mzmolly]

75. I'm offended that her husband is so out of touch.

eom

[DixieBlue]

76. I'm offended by everything she stands for.

I, as the child of a military family, am offended by her husband's heavy-handed us of his POW experience as an excuse for not understanding America.

How many people did her family exploit to get to where they are? How many workers are they now paying nothing while they stay rich?

She is vomit-inducing.

[hasssan1]

79. I am offended by She and her Husband existence and their $32000000 Wealth !

[BeyondGeography]

80. Sounds like George was suckin' up to her

little shit that he is.

[Frank Booth]

81. $10,000, a dream, and all the help the mob could provide.

Poor Cindy.

[Arugula Latte]

82. Does Teresa Heinz Kerry ring a bell, Cindy?

[fishwax]

83. If I have nothing, can I sell it for $10,000 too?

I have a different definition of "nothing" than she does, apparently.

[BlooInBloo]

84. Sucker. Keeping it a live issue.

[nichomachus]

86. This would really disturb me if

I gave a rat's ass what Cindy McShame thought.

[BlueIdaho]

87. I'm offended that

Cindy Lou manages to maintain a body core temperature of 98.6.

[discopants]

90. The Victim Card! Expect Palin to use it within a week too.

[Gregorian]

91. WHINER!

Well, somebody had to say it.

[FloridaJudy]

93. Leave Cindy Alone!!!!!

YOU BASTARDS!



Oops: I forgot. Britney actually worked for her fame and fortune.

Never mind. Carry on.

[Bjorn Against]

94. And I am sure she was equally offended by all the arugula comments right?

[girl gone mad]

95. Poor little rich girl.

Cindy, your dad may have lived the American dream, but you're just sailing through life on a yacht daddy bought for you. The rest of us are living in an American nightmare thanks to a bunch of right-wing policies that your husband fully supports.

[Arkana]

96. Go pop some pills and get over it, Stepford.

[NOLALady]

97. Lord.

[Starry Messenger]

99. Haha!

Too bad, so sad, as my mom says.

MPK

[AZBlue]

100. Wait. She's offended...but it's ok for hubby to tell lies about Obama on a daily basis?

Is she fucking kidding?!?!

[tallahasseedem]

101. Screw her.

eom.

[KingFlorez]

102. She's just mad because John could never, ever give a speech as good as Obama

[AwakeAtLast]

103. Aww, Cindy's got the vapors!

But being racist towards Obama - nothin'. :eyes:

[progressivebydesign]

104. "but I'm okay that John hired the man that slurred my family viciously in 2000!"

Apparently Cindy has a short fucking memory... since her Hubby has been kissing all over Bush since Bush and his cronies pretty much trashed Cindy's family in 2000. But hey.. when someone goes to the trouble of sending out push poll calls that your baby is an illegitemate black child that you fathered, then the least you can do is HIRE HIM. Right Cindy? Right John? Crocodile tears...

[zulchzulu]

108. What an absolutely STUPID thing for the Stepford Queen 2.0 to bring up!

"Democrats' attacks on her family's wealth are unfair and offensive"...

What wealth, CIndy? Ya mean the absolute millions that you and Johnny Songbird are worth? How much is it again, Cindy? Tell the peeps who think Johnny is one of them and is not an "elitist"...

The Obama campaign should bring up how having half-sisters is kinda cool, just like Cindy's. Right, Cindy?

[Raineyb]

110. Poor ickle Cindy is offended?

Too bad! She can kiss my ass!

Regards

[Vickers]

111. Ooooooh, that kitchen is getting HOT, ain't it Cindy?

Better tell the staff to get out of there...

:eyes:

[sakabatou]

112. I think Cindy needs one of these

[krkaufman]

114. A weak echo of the typical Republican "offended" meme

Just recall the Cheney's offense at their lesbian daughter being mentioned by Edwards & Kerry.

[TeamsterDem]

115. Excuse me but FUCK HER!

The "my father had nothing" bullshit might wash if her father's company didn't try to cut my sister and brother Teamsters' health and welfare nearly by half several years back. Where I come from that's called greed and being out of touch with working people, exactly the charge Obama was leveling. This sniveling beer distributorship scion can take her righteousness and shove it.

[No Elephants]

116. BS. Obama attacked McCain for saying the economy was fundamentally sound. Meanwhile, on

how Cindy's family made its money, see http://www.democrats.com/john-mccain-married-to-the-mob Boo hoo.Cindy. This is a Presidential race. Take a pill.

[SoCalDem]

117. Those sick kids were probably offended when she stole their painkillers

and Carol Mccain was offended when John dumped her dor Cindy..

[SemiCharmedQuark]

118. I'm sure Michelle felt great when they questioned Obama's patriotism repeatedly.
