Politics: McCain’s Sister-In-Law An Obama Supporter

August 29th, 2008

McCain’s sister-in-law is an Obama supporter. Cindy McCain’s half sister just might be cut out of the family will considering where her loyalties lie. “I have a different political standpoint,” Kathleen Hensley Portalski said in an interview with Us Weekly, published online Thursday. “I’m voting for Obama.” She said that the Democratic presidential nominee’s proposals for America “more positive and I’m not a big war believer.” Portalski has the same father (James Hensley) as her mega-rich sister, Cindy. He founded Hensley & Company, the Phoenix area Anheuser-Busch distributor. Cindy McCain is heiress to her father’s stake in the company.        

(DENVER) Aug. 28, 2008 -  With more than 75 thousand flag-waving supporters filling the NFL football stadium in Denver,  Sen. Barack Obama accepted the Democratic Party’s nomination and took a few tough shots at his republican rival, Arizona Sen. John  McCain.

Wow! thanks for that info seschris. I didn’t know the story behind the two half sisters. But I have to say I agree with Kat on the phonyness in the McCain’s. I dont trust them! Obama 08

THAT IS VERY INTERESTING BUT I PERCEIVED THAT ABOUT MRS. MCCAIN A FEW MONTHS AGO. THAT IS HIS DREAM TO BE PRESIDENT BECAUSE SHE COULD CARE LESS. A PERSON WHO HAS BEEN MARRIED THAT LONG AND HAS HIS AND HER MONEY MAKE YOU THINK.
HE REALLY IS CLUELESS WHEN COMES TO AMERICA , HE TALKS ABOUT HIM BEING A PRISONER OF WAR LIKE HE WAS THE ONLY PERSON WHO FOUGHT IN THE WAR. THERE WERE MANY JUST LIKE
HIMSELF BUT THAT NOT TO SAY FOR YOU TO KEEP REPEATING IT LIKE A BROKEN RECORD. WHAT WILL HE DO IN THE WHITE HOUSE IS THE QUESTION. I KNOW HE HAS VERY LITTLE RESPECT FOR BLACKS AND THAT HE NEED TO ADDRESS. YOU KNOW WHITE AMERICA NEED TO LOOK AT THEIR SITUATION. AS FOR MRS. MCCAIN SISTER YOU HAVE THAT RIGHT TO VOTE FOR WHO YOU WANT TO AND THEY NEED TO RESPECT YOUR RIGHT.

To hell with John McCain. He is a rich white devil that cares nothing about black people or any non whites. To be in his favor you have to be rich, white, and corrupt! We all know who the republican party represents! Thier plan for the next four years is: more wars, destroying the middle class, corporate greed (oil), and ignoring the needs of african amerikkkans! These crazy ass devils are destroying the country to make a few of the wealthy even more wealthy! When 1% of the Amerikkkan population controls 99% of the wealth, then there is an evil disparity! They call Barack inexperienced but it has been so called experienced devils that have ruined relations around the world and are destroying the environment, and the Amerikkkan economy! Barack can do no worse than every honky that has ever held office! Its time to paint the whitehouse black! Black Power!



Holly Said on

Shanell Said on

Go Kathy, that’s right you do the dam thing. Vote for your beliefs. That’s a trip about lil Cindy, that’s all good. Because is about to take the Grand Stand. Obama 08 we rock



The Facts Said on

Let me get this straight. You got a sister who has beef, and must have some issues since daddy cut her out of everything, now she wants to go public like many BITTER family members do all the time, and you folks co-signing this crap.

I no bit more care about this obviously BITTER lady than I do about Obama’s half brother in Kenya who needs help, and is making about a dollar a day or week (cant remember). Hell, every single one of us posting got some BITTER azzzz family members who could/would come out the woods if we were running for a public office.

B.E.T. seems like a 527 for obama with all these useless articles, and the ALL positive ALL the time for obama coverage. The site should never bash Fox b/c of all the 1 sided crap they report daily.



SFAULK Said on

it is so obvious what john mccain is doing if i were a supporter of hillary clinton this would be a slap in the face for him to think if he put a women on his team he could get votes. america wake up and smell the coffee. this part is for self only not the people. GO OBAMA & BIDEN



DJF Said on

“The Facts” has made some good points but I don’t agree with the comment of stating B.E.T. has useless articles. So many people are bashing Obama in the media, why not B.E.T put the positives out there that they have overlooked and if its so much 1sided crap on this site daily then why do u continue to support this site by coming on it daily… duh

Everybody has a BITTER AZZ family member, that is true but Obama’s half brother in Kenya is not an American citizen their culture so totally different than America… I think that is so ignorant to even try and make that a comparison… NOW THAT’S THE FACTS



Evan Said on

The Facts,

Take your racist Obama hating a s s back to lil fox then. People like you have beef with black oriented ANYTHING…so step off n1gga! Somebody gotta promote black!



Brina Said on

Hmmmm, I wonder is she’s just bitter. She didn’t get any of the family riches left to her…she’ s living with her cats, they have to be fed. Support who you want….the DNC won’t be writing a check to you just to make up for the fact you were left out of the will. Even if she was contemplating giving her money, it’s dead now! Oh well, she doesnt look like she’s hurting for nothing, she can afford makeup.



Brina Said on

BET get it straight, is she a half-sister or a sister-in-law…b/c that makes the difference. Sisters-in-laws don’t share the wealth. But what is the purpose of this stupid story, it’s so divisive, misleading, and trivial. Snooze on this story, but I had to comment. Hypocritical journalism at it’s best, Obama encourages less sensationalism of the very rap songs you feature, so are you gonna remove them Huh BET??



lynn Said on

She must be one of those big booty white girls like them.



seschris Said on

This woman came forward because the family is tired of hearing Cindy McCain LIE about being an only child! That’s not divisive, misleading or trivial…it’s a LIE. This speaks to the character of Cindy AND John McCain. A lie by omission is still a LIE! He sat there and allowed her to tell that LIE over and over. I bet he’s got a bunch of lies up his sleeve to that we have yet to uncover!



soy nadie Said on

I am going to find it very hard to find sincerity in Cindy McCain’s half sister.
I know what it is like have relatives that always behave with shady motives.
No one really will know who she supports, until she closes the curtin in her voting both. As far as both of them having the same paternal blood line…. she should just put the blame on her biological sperm donor! I don’t like the word “half-sister”. The word “Sibling” is more stronger. Because the word “SISTER”, should be used toward someone who would never hurt you.



Dave Said on

Shady relatives or not why lie about being an only child? How do you explain your wealth and you sister’s working class status?



vwnurse Said on

That speaks volumes when your own family will not support you!!! He chose a woman as a way of trying to gain support. I hope that she (his new running mate) realizes that she is only a token in the game. to derail Obama’s campaign and to get Clinton’s supports to vote repulican. I tell you some people will do anything, regardless of the consequences. News flash, it won’t work. By the way, other than a women who is she, really. I hope that she is ready to have her life placed under a microscope.



VK Said on

Good for John McCain’s sister in law. His ex-wife will probably vote for Obama, too.
