Re: "... just cut him a break," by Anne Keene, Monday Letters.

Ms. Keene attributes John McCain's not being able to recall how many houses he owns to old age. Mr. McCain's wife owns the McCain houses. Several of them are investment properties, and several of them are provided to family members, unlike Barack Obama, who allows his brother to live in a hut and get by on $12 a year.
