I own one home. It’s paid for except for a small equity loan. But we can’t afford to sell and buy something else and much as I detest where I’m living. Downpayment requirements are now more than our first house cost.

We own 2 cars. They’re paid for too. Mine’s 6 years old and I’ll probably keep it another 5 years. sorry auto industry, it’s just too expensive to replace cars willy-nilly.

Property taxes are due in November. They have gone up 500% since we’ve moved here. I thought Cali had some sort law about this not being able to happen. I was wrong. Joy.

Insurance is due in January.

Utilities cost more each month than the first year of my college tuition. And we won’t mention gasoline at all.

I thought we were doing OK until he raised the bar to $5 mill.

Um, well, let me see. 0

Wow, that wasn’t as hard as I thought it would be. Aside from the number of houses own, and the failure to remember, there’s also the part about getting those houses. Obama worked his way up, McCain married his rich mistress. Which one seems more elitist?

Just the one.

I feel pretty confident that I would be aware of any other homes I may or may not own.

I’m sorry, I’ll have to check with my staff and get back to you on that.

This will also be my standard reply to any question of importance beyond “when does life begin?” That one I know! Ask me that one!

I own one home. Sort of. The bank owns part of it too. My husband is now living 13 1/2 hours away, in basically a dorm room. He’s active duty military, officer to boot! We can’t sell our house. We can’t afford two houses. So, I stay in our current house, with the kids and no family around, while he is at his new duty station, away from everyone he loves.

What concerns me is not so much that he doesn’t know how many homes he owns, but that he doesn’t know NOT TO SAY SUCH A THING. That is really what indicates how out of touch he is with the American public.

We own one townhouse. Well, technically, the bank owns it but we live here.

Property taxes at the beginning of July every year. Strata fees monthly.

I sincerely hope that my neighbours to the south vote for Obama by a good, strong margin.

Let’s see just what BHO has learned from all of his vast experience.
