Wherein a foreigner tells the US how to judge their politicians

I've seen a few people on the internet dis US presidential candidate John McCain because apparently he owns multiple houses. I see that this isn't the kind of thing the average person can identify with, but maybe we should be open-minded. Different people have different needs - I'm sure there are a lot of people who think it's decadent that my sister and I each had our own room growing up, even though this was probably the only reason we both survived to adulthood - and as long as he isn't hurting anyone it isn't an actual problem.

However, I might humbly suggest that a trait USians should look for in a prospective president is that they know exactly how many houses they own.
