$5 Million a Year is Rich

Those of you who watched the Saddleback Forum witnessed McCain make this ridiculous comment that people are defined as rich if they make at least $5 million a year; but he was obviously joking. There was no doubt he said it in jest.

Barack Obama later commented on McCain's remark as if it was what McCain actually thought to be true. He covered his bases by saying, "Maybe he was joking." This was a cheap trick that does not serve his "New Politics" claim. I was hoping that Obama was serious when he claimed that he was going to introduce a new way to run politics. Perhaps he is another typical polititian.
