Compare Cindy McCain & Michelle Obama…There Is No Comparison
Like the difference between night and day…and I ain’t talking skin color. McCain is a classy lady, Hussein is a loud-mouthed, America-hating, racist bitch.
‘Nuff said…
Cindy McCain is her husband’s secret weapon — which John McCain might have sensed when he first laid eyes on the pretty blonde teacher 28 years ago at a cocktail party in Hawaii.
“I was standing at the hors d’oeuvre table, young, shy, not knowing anybody,” recalls Cindy, then 24 and vacationing with her parents, “when suddenly this awfully nice-looking Navy captain in dress whites was kind of chasing me around the table. I thought, What’s going on here?”
Only love at first sight — “instant chemistry,” she confirms. “I loved his intelligence, humor, completely different perspective. Having seen the bad side of life,” she says, referring to the five and a half years McCain spent in the late ’60s and early ’70s as a POW in North Vietnam, “he didn’t take it too seriously. And my parents liked him instantly. John was absolutely an original.”
He was also 42, 18 years her senior, a difference Cindy “never noticed” until a year later, when, applying for their marriage license, “we discovered we’d both lied. I’d made myself three years older, he four younger. Having a strong father, I wanted an older man, though John is 70 going on 30. Last summer he and our son Jack hiked the Grand Canyon rim to rim. Just try keeping up with him.”
Cindy McCain — smart, resilient, compassionate, gutsy — has not only tried but succeeded, quietly and on her own terms. An only child, determined to have a big family, she suffered several miscarriages (”a couple were very far along”) before producing Meghan, now 22, a 2007 Columbia graduate; Jack, 21, a Naval Academy junior; and Jimmy, a 19-year-old marine being deployed to Iraq. “John was with me the first time I lost a baby,” she recalls, “but not for those after, which was hard.”
Elected to Congress in 1982, Arizona congressman McCain was gone a lot — in Washington during the week, returning on weekends to his family in Phoenix. “We didn’t think Washington offered the healthiest lifestyle for kids,” explains the slim, attractive, jeans-clad 53-year-old, relaxing into a swing chair on the serene rolling lawn of the family’s getaway home, a spectacular ranch compound near Sedona. “And we always made the decisions together, so mostly it worked out great because John’s a good, strong dad.” (He is also, as he playfully admitted earlier, his wife in earshot, a bit of a handful. “Am I hard to live with? God, yes,” Senator McCain conceded before zooming back to the campaign trail. “It’s frenetic, there’s always commotion, something going on. Cindy will get her reward in heaven.”)

Hot vs skanky
May 9th, 2008 at 3:11 pmCindy is as classy as it gets. Guess what, she is proud of her country.
One fine American, just like her husband.
May 9th, 2008 at 3:20 pmI don’t care how old a man your are… she’s really HOT.
A friend of mine worked for the McCains and told me they are really nice too. Look at their sons. And listen to what his cell mate said about him. Like a lot of conservatives, some of what he says and does drives me crazy, but I’ve always loved the guy (and if he ever dumped Cindy…I’d love her too!)
May 9th, 2008 at 3:50 pmA picture is worth a 1000 words. Nuff said, for sure.
May 9th, 2008 at 4:33 pmThat man gives the finger to everyone…
May 9th, 2008 at 6:23 pmI would rather have her as first lady
