Net Worth of Next President: McCain $36m & Obama $799k

McCain's camp has been attacking Barack Obama as a rich elitist who lives in a "frikin mansion" just like him. "Frickin mansion" is a term they have used. The only problem with this attack is that it does not hold any ground.

Sunlight Foundation (nonpartisan) recently conducted a study of the net worth of each of the 535 members of congress. The data they used is from personal financial disclosure. Guess what? McCain is worth $36 million and Obama is $799,000. Are they in the same class-hell no?
