Politics: McCain’s Sister-In-Law An Obama Supporter
August 29th, 2008McCain’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.

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
Brotha…listen this story is divisive in that it creates a divide amongst people, races, and mostly with people who cant think for themselves, their brain forgets rationality and focuses on this trivial “my sister is not the only child mess”. Who cares that they left her out and acted like she didn’t exist, they don’t have to =joke!! So that means your candidate has never lied and yet he says he’s a Christian and condones killing babies….hmmmm. He just lied right there! I’m playing both sides because people are ridiculously naive. Again, I’m not for any candidate or the political process anyway, but I love to debate and I talk too much sometimes.

McCAIN IS A DAMM BASTERD, HE ONLY CHOOSE A WEMON TO HURT HILLERY. WHO WOULD EVER WANT A BASTERD LINK THAT TO BE IN THE WHITE HOUSE. HELL”S WAITING FOR HIM. AND HE DON”T CARE FOR ANYONE BUT HIS DAMM SELF. HIS TRIFLINS ASS.
Oh brother, please use spellcheck or your Websters Dictionary before dialoguing with others. You believe in hell, but didn’t read the other part of the Bible about JUDGING! You didn’t even get Hillary’s name right. Someone said Obamas supporters are lacking in intelligence and cooth…prove them wrong by coming up with a better comment than that. What politician doesn’t care for themselves, I care about me more than I can about you, should I go to hell? Sorry that’s a lie, I do look out for the interest of others, I was just being funny!
So many of our own ignorant, mindless hoodrats just follow without ever looking at the path their being handed. Barack Obama doesn’t care about the BLACK MAN! Just look at his record in Chicago! Look at the kind of people he surrounds himself with, just to say “oh, that’s not the same guy I used to know”……PLEASE! You gonna be sayin that a couple years from now about dem fools from Iran? Everybody talks about how everybody votes AGAINST Obama just because he’s black, what about all of us that vote FOR him…….JUST BECAUSE HE’S BLACK (kinda)…………..don’t make no sense. Making a good decision should outweigh making history.
Have anyone noticed, or is it just me, how John and Cindy always conviently leave their adopted black daughter out of all public family pictures!! They seem to be ashamed of her!!! McSane, if you’re not ashamed, let her in on the family pictures that will appear on People and other magazines!!
People say the craziest things at the end of the day when the storm passes threw there lies the truth that McCain thinks this is a game by picking a women that we have not even heard of just for her gender to try to sway votes an Tyshaun I don’t want to vote for Obama because he’s black thats stupid for u to say that I like others will vote for what he stands for and thats change reguardless how u feel being that the man is black(kinda) is jus a plus By u sayn he doesn’t care about the BLACK MAN you make it harder for hm to make his case an u say that as if McCain cares Obama doesnt just care about u he cares about all of us he is not limited to jus caring for the black man what are u doing!
yall stop hating on barak!! I am so sick of this WIllie lynch syndrome we have.
Hell He needs all the support I dont care what NOBODY says, Barak & Michelle have inspired me so much I cant describe it
THat bomb speech he gave on thursday was proof that he is the 21st century Dr king !!
OBAMA 08

Tyshaun — It sadden me to read all the negative things you have to say re: Afro Amer MEN!!! You say Obama does not care about them well, the way YOU TALK it seems as thou YOU DON’T CARE AT ALL!! First, it would be nice to read some positive comment re: the race vs. negative!! I’m sure just like you were informed by reading, researching, watching television and your own personnal feelings you made your chose. So, don’t underestimate the brothers from the (HOOD).
As far as a candidate if you are happy the way things are NOW… Then yes vote for McCain but for me and my family WE WILL VOTE FOR A CHANGE WITH OBAMA — YES WE CAN!!! OBAMA 08.. See you on Nov. 4!!
Brina,
First of all I’m a woman. Second, learn the difference between DEBATING and DISRESPECTING another commenter; hence your statement: “people who can’t think for themselves, their brain forgets rationality and focuses on this trivial “my sister is not the only child mess”. You don’t have to agree with my opinion because this is a public forum for all to post OPINIONS, but most of us can do it without personal insults. Especially it we want to actually have an intellectual DEBATE.
Brina:
McCain has focused nothing but trivial issues from day one so for the idiot who said this was a trivial story. Stop being a hypocrite and open you mind before you open your mouth. stop letting the media think for you. Do your own research.
Just some of McCain’s trivial issues:
Obama getting sworn in on his own bible instead of the one provided.
Obama and his wife bumping fists.
Obama’s wife’s patriotism.
And on and on, McCain has been nitpicking and dwellin on trivial shyt from day ONE!!
I am grateful to the almighty God for what he his doing in the life of Barack Obama. I pray as frequent as possible for God to give Barack Obama victory in the general election, come November, 2008.
Sarah Palin changes things.

I saw Cindy McCain’s half sister on ABC evening news. She said it was not about the money, but she was sick & tired of Cindy McCain going around the country saying she was the only child of her father. Cindy McCain’s father did the same thing as John McCain did. When her father came back from the War he cheated on his first wife(the mother of the half sister) he then divorced the first wife to marry Cindy’s mother. He did pay for his first child’s college, and after gave her a credit card with a $10,000 limit. When he died he left everything to Cindy, and a couple of weeks later the credit card was cut off. Cindy McCain is worth 100 million, her sister lives in a little small house near poverty, my question is why should I expect John & Cindy McCain to care for America when that won’t take care of their own family. Come on! the least Cindy could have done is left her sister with the credit card!
1. August 30, 2008. The presidential campaign has just turned into a soap opera. MediaTakeOut.com is hearing rumors that John McCain’s VP pick, Sarah Palin , may have a scandal in her past. Word is coming from MTO readers in Alaska (yeah, we got readers in Alaska) and from a bunch of left-wing bloggers that McCain’s VP may have hid her daughter’s pregnancy. And that the child which she claims is hers, might actually be her daughter’s.
Here’s a report (excerpted from the popular blog The Moderate Vpoice):
[Governor Palin’s] oldest girl is rumored to have actually been the one who had the last baby, the one with Down’s Syndrome. She was taken out of school the last 4 or 5 months of her mother’s pregnancy.
On March 5th, 2008 Alaska’s Republican Governor, Sarah Palin, announced to the media that she was 7 months pregnant with her 5th child. She is currently 44.
Palin’s daughter Bristol is 16 and attends an Anchorage high school. Students who have attended class with her report that she has been out of school for months, claiming a prolonged case of mono.
Palin does not appear pregnant in any recent photographs. The announcement came as quite a shock to people who had worked closely with her, and have been quoted as saying that she did not appear pregnant whatsoever during the prior 7 months.
And there’s more – check out the photo above taken with Palin’s daughter having a bulge in her stomach. And the below pic shows the governor when she was supposedly 6 months pregnant.
And even more. Since these rumors have begun circulating, the Alaska Department of State has taken down ALL PHOTOS of the governor and her family from the state’s website.
Now y’all know that we’re not knocking the lady for trying to protect her daughter. But if you have that kind of scandal in your recent past, you really have no business running for vice president. If that’s what she wanted to do, she could have done like Janet and Rebe and just stayed out of the limelight for a minute…..
Anyway, even though the mainstream press is too chicken to report on this, MediaTakeOut.com has learned that The National Enquirer is all over this one. Expect the scandal to get bigger (if it is true) in coming weeks…
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
This story is NOT trivial it puts McCain’s character on front street. Obama was accused of lying about the sermons of Rev Wright, he was called a liar and they dug in his past saying he has credibility and honesty issues, Do you want a liar a stones throw away from being president? These two LIARS (McCain/Palin) can’t touch Senators Obama and Biden in the integrity department.
good for you kathy, cindy is a fake and i think a lot of americans can see that.
her right hand in a sling, carpal tunnel, be for real, she doesnt want to touch
or shake people hands. phoney with her barbie doll self.
i believe america is waking up, and the old republican games are over
families and caring for each other is what America is about, and i thank God
for Obama, the democratic party have inspired me and given hope, for America.
Is it true that the mccanns have a black adopted child. I never knew Mccann was married until about a month ago. What else does he have to hide.
Tyshaun,
You are a disgrace to the black race! Who the hell do you think you are to get on here and call us hoodrats and tell us that we are not intelligent enough to do the research and determine who is the best candidates for us. You are as bad as those RACIST white folks who refuse to vote for Obama just because he’s BLACK. Grow up and get a clue because they got you bamboozled sweetie! Stop falling for the Republican party line and start thinking for yourself! IF OBAMA WAS WHITE, YOU’D BE ALL OVER HIM, IT’S A SHAME WHEN YOU MAKE DECISIONS BASED ON SKIN COLOR. And for those blacks that are voting for him because he’s black, SO WHAT, SOME WHITE FOLKS ARE VOTING FOR MCCAIN ONLY BECAUSE HE’S WHITE. They don’t even care that he has one foot on a banana peel and the other in the grave or that he’s TOTALLY out of touch with the needs of the working class.
THIS AIN’T ABOUT RACE THIS IS ABOUT “CHANGE” AND those LIARS McCAIN AND PALIN WANT TO KEEP THE SAME TRADITIONAL GOVERNMENT THAT DOESN’T WORK IN A GLOBAL WORLD!
OBAMA/BIDEN 08!!!
I think is good that cathy isn’t like her relatives always trying to weasel there way out of something or doesnt have all the facts right. McCain and his wife will never learn what it feels to be a minority in a prejudice world we leave in Obama all the way good people
WELL I THINK THAT SHE HAS ALL RIGHTS TO BE UPSET WITH HER SISTER BECAUSE HELL I WOULD BE TOO, BUT NOT VOTING FOR MCCAIN REALLY ISNT GONNA MAKE A DIFFRENCE. WHAT SHE NEEDS TO DO IS GET HER A GOOD ASS LAWYER TO SEE IF SHE CAN TAKE HER NO GOOD SISTER TO COURT. AND WITH THE WHOLE OBAMA THING I JUST HOPE PEOPLE ACTUALLY KNOW THE FACTS ON WHO THERE VOTING FOR AND NOT VOTE FOR HIM JUST FOR THE COLOR OF HIS SKIN. I KNOW IT WOULD BE REALLY GOOD TO HAVE A FIRST “BLACK” PRESIDENT (ALTHOUGH HE’S MIXED) BUT WHAT IF WHEN HE GETS IN THERE WE’RE SET UP FOR FAILURE. IAM NOT SAYING MCCAIN IS A BETTER VOTE BUT THAT’S JUST SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT..
I am under age below middle class and i can see McCain is for rich white americans !!! If him nor his wife are good to family what makes any1 think he cares about the AIDS epademic or childern having food to eat and shetter
and he talks about being a prisoner of wor then you would think he would
want the solders out of war and home safe with there familys ….But of course not hes just as bad as bush if not worse !!! he couldn’t careless if the poor get poorer as long ashe gets richer !!!! its time 4 a change 4 the better OBAMA 08
