Sen. John McCain went shopping with a typical, everday "American" citizen, just to see how it is for the average person trying to make it in this economy. Ok, now let's get real. When I saw this on one of the MSM channels, I saw an affluent looking, probably stay at home mother, who is not worrying about the price of milk or much of anything else. I mean, if he wanted to make an impact he should have went with someone who is truly trying to decide between buying milk or bread. Perhaps someone who uses food stamps to pay for food or even a single mom who works everday but finds it hard to make ends meet. I'm not saying that this lady is not in that situation. Perhaps she is..but a picture is worth a thousand words. I'm looking at her attire, her hair, her makeup, her nails, etc.,. and I do not see a struggling "American".
Ok, perhaps I'm being judgmental, but this is my blog and I will call it as I see it. If Senator McCain truly wants to know how it is for the typical American citizen who is struggling to make ends meet, he needs to look no further than the "House" that he's trying to occupy next year. He can just drive around the inner-city DC area. I'm quite sure that there are plenty of good Americans out there that he could of chose to grocery shop with and get the true picture of the way it is.

Good point. Maybe he should visit some people like me... someone who uses every available coupon known to man to buy groceries and whatever else needed. I found a good source of coupons on freckletown.com if you're into that sort of thing.
Liked your candid post about the pic!
