Cindy McCain
Bet you would have never guessed this one! No matter your
politics. The media will never tell of this, so pass it on.
There was an article in the Wall Street Journal on Cindy McCain, John'swife.
All I ever saw was this attractive woman standing beside John.
I was surprised how talented and involved with world problems she is.
This is a summary of the article.
She graduated from Southern Cal and was a special-needs
teacher. She has a masters degree in special education.
After her Dad died she became involved with his beer distributing firm
and is now the chairwoman. Sales have doubled since she took over from her father.
They have a marriage prenuptial agreement, her assets remain separate.
She is involved around the world clearing land mines - travels to these
countries on a detonation team and service on their board.
They have a 19 year old son in Iraq
Another son in the Naval Adademy
A daughter recently graduated from Columbia University
An adopted daughter in highschool
A son who is the Financial Officer at the beer firm
Raised kids in Phoenix , AZ rather than Washington , DC .
They said (better atmosphere) & he commuted.
In 1991, Mrs. McCain came across a girl in an orphanage in Bangladesh .
Mother Teresa implored Mrs. McCain to take the baby with severe cleft
palate. She did so without first telling her husband. The couple adopted
the girl who has had a dozen operations to repair her cleft palate and
other medical problems.
They have a Family Foundation for children's causes.
She's active with 'Halo Trust' - to clear land mines, provide water and food in
war ravaged and developing countries.
She will join an overseas mission of 'Operation Smile',
a charity for corrective surgery on children's faces.
She had two back surgeries and became addicted to pain killers.
She talks openly about it which she says is part of the recovery process.
I'm surprised the media is so quiet about her attributes.
She sounds more capable than Hillary or Obama.
We would really get two for the price of one.
A person with business and international experience.
John did work for the firm for awhile when he left the Navy.
She, however, has the real business experience. Very interesting.
"dude, nothing we can say will make us like as childish/silly as the rants you post. We HAVE posted the parts, you chose to ignore them. We get it, you like soldiers that sell out their fellow soldiers for political gain, and you hate or hold in contempt those that take a stand. We get that you manage to see NOTHING but bad in Republicans, and nothing put pure and honorable intentions from fellow limp wristed libs. We got it already, now move on."
