Maybe she can talk her husband out of supporting General Aviation user fees.<\/p>\n
This is an interesting\u00a0 article as not much was known about her.\u00a0 She was on Leno the other night\u00a0 and it was an interesting interview.\u00a0 It turns out that she is a\u00a0 character as she is or has been a race car driver and is also a pilot.\u00a0 She flies John around the country to his rallies.\u00a0 After hearing\u00a0 that about her and reading this I now have a lot of respect for\u00a0 her.<\/p>\n
Election 2008: Cindy Hensley McCain has been disparaged as a\u00a0 trophy wife, a Barbie, an heiress with fancy purses, even the Paris Hilton of politics But there’s more to the picture than meets the eye.
\nYes, Mrs.\u00a0 McCain is the perfectly coifed blonde standing dutifully behind the senator\u00a0 during his speeches. And yes, she wears stylish clothing and carries a Prada\u00a0 purse. And it’s true she doesn’t say much. But feminist critics who write her\u00a0 off as a ‘stand-by-your-man’ shrinking violet are selling her short. In many\u00a0 ways, Cindy McCain stacks up sturdier than Hillary Clinton or Michelle Obama.\u00a0 And she’d make a more impressive first lady.
\nMrs. McCain: More than\u00a0 meets the eye.<\/p>\n
While Obama’s wife has been hating America , complaining\u00a0 about the war and undermining our troops serving in Afghanistan , McCain’s\u00a0 wife has been worrying about her sons who actually are fighting or planning to\u00a0 fight in the war on terror. One, in fact, was until a few months ago deployed in Iraq during some of the worst violence. You don’t hear the\u00a0 McCain’s talk about it, but their 19-year-old Marine, Jimmy, is preparing for\u00a0 his second tour of duty. Their 21-year-old son, Jack, is poised to graduate\u00a0 from Annapolis and also could join the Marines as a second lieutenant. The\u00a0 couple made the decision not to draw attention to their sons out of respect\u00a0 for other families with sons and
\ndaughters in harm’s way.
\nCindy also\u00a0 says she doesn’t want to risk falling apart on the campaign trail talking\u00a0 about Jimmy who was so young when he enlisted she had to sign consent\u00a0 forms for his medical tests before he could report for duty and potentially upsetting parents of soldiers who are serving or have been killed.<\/p>\n
The\u00a0 McCain’s want to make sure their boys get no special treatment. Same goes for\u00a0 their five other children, including a daughter they adopted from Bangladesh .\u00a0 During a visit to Mother Teresa’s orphanage there, Cindy noticed a dying baby.\u00a0 The orphanage could not provide the medical care needed to save her life. So\u00a0 she brought the child home to America for the surgery she desperately needed.\u00a0 The baby is now their
\nhealthy, 16-year-old daughter, Bridget.<\/p>\n
Though\u00a0 all seven McCain children including two Sen. McCain adopted from his first marriage are supportive of their father, they prefer their privacy\u00a0 to the glare of the campaign trail. Another daughter, Meghan, 23, helps him behind the scenes.<\/p>\n
Cindy McCain not only cherishes her children, but\u00a0 also her country, which in an election year filled with America-bashing, is a\u00a0 refreshing novelty. She seethed when she heard Michelle Obama’s unpatriotic\u00a0 remarks that she only recently grew proud of America . ‘I am very proud of\u00a0 my country,’ Mrs. McCain asserted.
\nShe also may be tougher than the\u00a0 other women in the race. While Hillary thinks she’s come under sniper fire on\u00a0 mission trips abroad, Cindy has actually seen violence. She witnessed a boy\u00a0 get blown up by a mine in Kuwait during a trip with an international group\u00a0 that removes land mines from war-torn countries.<\/p>\n
Mrs. McCain also is a\u00a0 hands-on philanthropist. She sits on the board of Operation Smile, which\u00a0 arranges for plastic surgeons to fix cleft palates and other birth defects.\u00a0 She also has helped organize relief missions to Micronesia .<\/p>\n
During a\u00a0 scuba-diving vacation to the islands, Mrs. McCain took a friend to a local\u00a0 hospital to have a cut treated. She was shocked, and saddened, by what she\u00a0 saw. ‘They opened the door to the OR, where the supplies were, and there were\u00a0 two cats and a whole bunch of rats climbing out of the sterile supplies,’ she\u00a0 recalled. ‘They had no X-ray machine, no beds. To me, it was devastating\u00a0 because it was a U.S. trust territory.’ As soon as she returned home, she arranged for\u00a0 medical equipment and teams of doctors to be sent to treat the island children.<\/p>\n
Michelle Obama may contribute to CARE, which fights\u00a0 global poverty and works to empower poor women. Cindy sits on its board.<\/p>\n
While the Democrat women talk about helping the poor and needy, Cindy McCain actually rolls up her sleeves and does it. Who’s the out-of-touch elitist?
