In an interview on Fox News Sunday this morning, Obama senior advisor Robert Gibbs joked that McCain might have "misplaced the keys" to some of his many houses, the latest in a series of ways in which the Obama campaign's mockery of McCain's real estate holdings seemed to indirectly approach the issue of McCain's age.
Obama's ads have featured McCain looking feeble and moving slowly, at one point being driven in a golf cart by George H. W. Bush. They've also gleefully echoed the suggestion that he'd lost track of the number of houses.
Here's the exchange from Fox News Sunday:
CHRIS WALLACE: So he's running for president, to talk about how many houses John McCain has?
ROBERT GIBBS: Well, somebody's got to talk about how many houses John McCain has, because he either forgot how many he has, misplaced the keys to those houses, or he just wasn't being truthful with those reporters.
That answer illuminates whether or not you're in touch with that family in Youngstown, Ohio or Scranton that's struggling to make that mortgage payment just this month. And I think you're out of touch if you have seven houses and don't even remember it or can't even admit it.
