Proving once again that Obama is not someone you could have a beer with, it was revealed by the Washington Post that Obama was able to obtain a better than average rate on a home mortgage. As if his above average IQ is not enough the newly anointed democratic candidate for president now thumbs his nose at the rest of America by maintaining good credit and using it to his advantage in obtaining a home loan.
Sources at the Washington Post point out that the "average" American is top-heavy with credit card debt, and a negative savings rate. By utilizing a highly suspect technique known as "spending less than you earn" Obama obtained some sort of preferred status with the banking industry. The Post also points out the hypocrisy of someone running for President promising to pay-as-you-go while actually practicing the same techniques with their home finances.
"How can we trust a person who may be president with the country’s finances when he can’t manage to overspend his own finances, like we all know a Republican can."
The McCain campaign responded with this:
Clearly this mortgage is an outrageous attack on McCain’s military service. I demand that Obama "cut loose" the banker that gave him this elitist rate.
