Barack Obama has long been accused of being an elitist--after all, he prefers arugula to lettuce--but when Politco.com asked Sen. John McCain how many homes he owned, he couldn't come up with the answer. The reporter was instructed to check with his staff. For several hours after that, the answer floating around was four. That wasn't quite right. The real answer is seven, although Politico.com is now reporting there are eight, including a Phoenix condo the McCains bought for their daughter, Meghan. </p> <p>The Washington Post conducted its own house tour and discovered that McCain has indoor AND outdoor swimming pools, spas, state-of-the-art fitness centers and breathtaking views of the Arizona mountains, Pacific Ocean and downtown Phoenix. And, of course, he wants to make the number eight by adding the digs at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue to his list.</p> <p>The seven McCain properties, all of which are owned by his wife, Cindy, include: <br />1. Hidden Valley, Arizona: A 15-acre ranch near Sedona that is valued at more than $1 million. This is where the senator likes to relax and fire up the grill. <br />2. Phoenix, Arizona: A 7,000 square foot condo in a 12-story glass building in downtown that bills itself as "the Valley of the Sun's finest example of urban residential living." <br />3. Phoenix, Arizona: A second condo on a lower floor in the same 12-story glass building. <br />4. La Jolla, California: A beachfront condo. <br />5. Coronado, California: Another beachfront condo. <br />6. Coronado, California: Yet another beachfront condo in the same building as the first. Is this one for the kids? <br />7.

NYCHA leases commercial store space for retail and professional uses, with market competitive rents, negotiable terms and attractive incentives for substantial renovations. This comes on the heel of a claimed deficit of $198bn, rampant corruption and drastic cuts for senior and youth community programs. These evictions are in stark contrast to serving entrepreneurial initiative it boasts on the agency's website. The establishments are forced to close without sound reasoning from NYCHA. The tactic is the all too familiar, exponentially raise the rents to ensure you won't be operational. <br />Three establishments shared their stories: Fred's Hardware and Beauty Store, Danny and Mel's Barbershop, and Elite Boutique.</p> </div> <a href="/blog/48850-new-york-city-housing-evicts-commerical-tenants">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/47849-solutions-for-colorado-housing 2008-08-22T10:51:58Z barackobama <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/TeXDvOQuuhg&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/TeXDvOQuuhg&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/47849-solutions-for-colorado-housing"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/57510" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>Citizens of Denver gathered to speak with local and state officials about the housing and mortgage situation and discuss Barack Obama's solutions for the problems.</p> </div> <a href="/blog/47849-solutions-for-colorado-housing">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/47717-black-america-hiv-and-falling-from-the-middle-class-1-2 2008-08-12T20:21:28Z I Want Democracy Now <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/xK3JW-wwaH0&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/xK3JW-wwaH0&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/47717-black-america-hiv-and-falling-from-the-middle-class-1-2"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/57211" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>Black America: A Neglected Priority in the Global AIDS Epidemic</p> <p>According to a new report by the Black AIDS Institute, if blacks in the United States constituted their own country, that nation would rank sixteenth in the world in the number of people living with HIV.

Americans are hurting today. The latest jobs report, although not maybe as bad as some had predicted is still bad. Unemployment continues up. Americans are suddenly and recently losing their jobs. Many of them are worrying about how they're gonna keep their home, how they're gonna afford health care, how they're gonna keep their insurance and Americans are going through tough times now, my friends. I don't think we can sugar-coat it. I think these are enormous challenges and they affect every level of American society and especially those working men and women, many of whom are holding two jobs and trying to educate their children and keep their home. This morning and this evening, families will be sitting around the kitchen table, trying to figure out how they can afford their new home loan mortgage payments and they are also trying to figure out how to keep their health care, help to keep their insurance and keep their job. So these are tough times in America and I have a plan of action to fix our economy, to make sure that Americans remain in their home and also to realize the American dream to be able to educate their children and hand off to the next generation of Americans a better American than the one that we inherited. That's been the legacy of every generation of Americans."</p> <p>LABEL: JM CO 5-2 (GR#83) DAGIS - Clip B</p> <p>To download a high res version of this clip, VISIT: https://issuealliance.box.net/shared/elc6hsagwk <br />To download the full campaign event, VISIT: https://issuealliance.box.net/shared/wgd8z6vmss</p> </div> <a href="/blog/43829-john-mccain-town-hall-05-02-08">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/43785-john-mccain-town-hall-04-24-08 2008-06-30T23:47:35Z IssueAlliance <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/pMIkfi2x3f4&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/pMIkfi2x3f4&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/43785-john-mccain-town-hall-04-24-08"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/50124" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>John McCain <br />Town Hall <br />New Orleans, LA 04/24/08</p> <p>TRANSCRIPT: <br />QUESTIONER: "In terms of the 3-year rebuilding process that the next president will actually be a part of, what do you see happening in terms of the first 100 days of your presidency."</p> <p>MCCAIN: "I see the majority of our information and knowledge and recommendations coming from the local, the state government.

Thousands are afflicted with a wrenching choice: take up residence on America's financial and social margins or sell out. And it's not just impoverished teachers and social workers, struggling to pay their rent, who are hurt. From the activist who works to give others a living wage but isn't paid one himself, to the universal health-care advocate who becomes a management consultant for Big Pharma, The Trap presents a damning indictment of the economic and political landscape that traps young Americans. It examines the struggles between passions and paychecks.</p> <p>Daniel Brook is a journalist whose writing has appeared in Slate, Harper's, Dissent, The San Francisco Chronicle, and The Boson Globe, among other publications.
