Question by Ted F: The next time McCain attacks Michelle Obama, should he send someone other than his own drug-addicted wife?
In 1989, Cindy McCain became addicted to Vicodin and Perocet after back surgery. To keep up with her daily need of 10 to 15 pills, she stole the drugs from the medical services charity that she began a year earlier. In 1993, the Drug Enforcement Agency uncovered her thefts after an audit of the charity for the drugs it used. To avoid prosecution, Cindy McCain agreed to a plea bargain with the Justice Depart in which she submitted to drug testing, paid a fine, joined Narcotics Anonymous, and perform community service in a soup kitchen. She was also ordered to close her medical charity.

sounds like she paid her debt to society, I fail to see how this matters in 2008.
Obama in 2008!
Sable, no he didn’t. He only came out after Bill when he started making comments directly about Obama on the campaign trail in South Carolina……sorry guys, even though most people blindly believe whatever is told to them today, some of us still try and make sure we KNOW what happened in the past.
What do you think? Answer below!
What is really sad is, if Cindy McCain didn’t have millions for the best attorneys that money can buy, her butt would be in prison with all of the rest of the drug addicts that can’t afford a super star attorney.
1989 was 19 years ago. Got something a bit more current? Looks to me like she satisfied her debt to society too. I thought you Dem types were big on rehabilitation and forgiveness and stuff?
Obama attacked Bill Clinton many times when Hillary was still campaigning. Obama is a hypocrite.
I agree. Obama needs to start fighting fire with fire.
