Republicans Push Back on “Houses”

McCain's campaign, and others, hit back hard against Obama's attack. --Campaign statement: "Does a guy who... bought his own million-dollar mansion with the help of a convicted felon really want to get into a debate about houses?" --Spokesman Rogers: Says Obama lives in "a frickin' mansion" that was "bought in a shady deal with a convicted felon." Says they will hit harder on Tony Rezko. --Limbaugh: Takes out the brass knuckles on Thursday's show. Listen here. McCain "and his wife did not get a sweetheart deal from a fraud embezzler like Tony Rezko to buy their houses. But the Messiah did."
