Obama and his wife aren't the type to do thje work themselves.

You speculated that her money came from the sick and the poor.

Only a moron would think that.

That is a lie.

What does this have to do with what Cindy McCain does?  Other than the fact
that she is working to get medical attention and food to those who can
least afford it.

Neither Cindy McCain nor John McCain prey on the poor. They go out of their
way to help them.

In those numbers games, the poor were preying on their fellow poor.

John McCain is the biggest supporter of Cindy's work.

I do what I can with what I have available.

Meanwhile the Obamas and the Bidens do very little. In fact, the Bidens
claimed a whopping $300+ in charity last year.

She is a large contributor to Operation Smile in both time *AND* money.
