Obama snarks: Makes joke about McCain's houses

By GottaLaff

First, Barack-0rama sniped at J Sid a little:

Obama told a group of veterans and military families here today that McCain’s long career of service was not enough to earn their votes, arguing the Arizona senator would not fight for ordinary Americans.

“I honor John McCain’s service to our country, You know, he served in uniform with honor and distinction,” he said. “We owe him gratitude for that. But we don’t owe him our vote." [...]

“Do we have a president who gets that people are struggling everyday, who gets that veterans are struggling everyday? Or do we have somebody who doesn’t get it?,” he asked. “Who wants to give more tax cuts to the big corporations including Exxon-Mobil? $300 billion worth, while leave 100 million people without any tax relief whatsoever?”

Then came the snark:

And he hit McCain for his position on a proposal to store nuclear waste at Nevada's Yucca Mountain.

"Not surprisingly, a whole bunch of people in Nevada were like ‘hold on a second.’ John McCain is in favor of Yucca Mountain, except it turned out that he didn’t want the stuff shipped through Arizona to get to Nevada," he said to laughter from the crowd. "Somebody said we could have used some of his houses as -- That wasn’t my joke, that was this gentleman right here, so I’m not gonna take credit for that one."

Way to GObama!
