Housing Becomes a Touchy Point Between Obama & McCain


Presidential candidate John Mc Cain triggered a media fuss a few weeks ago when he couldn’t immediately answer a question about how many homes he and his wife own.


Property records reviewed by The Associated Press show McCain and his family appear to own at least eight homes and condos in three states.


Democratic candidate Barack Obama tried to make a little hay out of the news, saying that McCain was out of touch with Americans who were struggling to pay the mortgage. But the McCain campaign was quick to point out that Obama has his own questionable housing background, having bought his Hyde Park, Chicago home from a seller who had been convicted of influence peddling.
