Cindy McCain Irked by Obama’s Acceptance Speech
Considering that she is the source of much of the McCain family fortune, it's not surprising that Cindy McCain says she was offended by Barack Obama's assessment that John McCain is out of touch with the middle class, as well as by the Obama campaign's ads about the McCains' multiple homes.

Dig, Root, GrowABC News:
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.”
