Hey! Guess what? I just got my email from Barack!

But it wasn’t about that. Instead, the Obama campaign wants to remind me that — guess what — John McCain doesn’t know how many houses he owns. From campaign manager David Plouffe:

If somebody asked you, you probably wouldn’t have to think about it.
But when a reporter asked John McCain how many houses he owns, he stumbled and said, “I think — I’ll have my staff get to you.”
If you’re like the millions of people who are struggling to keep up with their mortgage, you might have a different perspective.
Not only does John McCain have trouble keeping track of all his houses, he looks at record gas prices and a crippling foreclosure crisis and thinks the economy is fundamentally “strong.” And last weekend he said anyone making less than $5 million a year isn’t rich.
This is the side of John McCain his campaign wants to hide.
So yesterday, we launched a TV ad to show everyone how out-of-touch John McCain is with the economic realities of regular Americans.
But if we’re going to get the truth out, it’s going to take all of us working together to make it happen.
Watch the ad and write a letter to your local newspaper exposing the real John McCain:

And guess what? They’re really helpful. Just look at these talking points:

John McCain defines rich as making $5 million or more. By McCain’s logic, you’re middle class if you’re making $3 million per year. Do you think that’s middle class?
John McCain thinks “the fundamentals of our economy are strong.” For who? With the mortgage crisis taking people’s houses and gas prices rising, just who is McCain talking about?

Now, the campaign advises you to “use your own words” in writing these letters to the editor. But with such great talking points, don’t you think some of them might show up in this latest expression of true grass-roots enthusiasm for Obama?
