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."
