Cindi McCain...
There was an article in the Wall Street Journal on Cindy McCain, John"s wife. All I ever saw was this attractive woman standing beside John. I was surprised how talented and involved with world problems she is. This is a summary of the article.
She graduated from Southern Cal and is a special-needs teacher. After her Dad died she became involved with his beer distributing firm and is now the Chairwoman. Sales have doubled since she has taken over from her father. They have a marriage prenuptial agreement, her assets remain separate.
She is involved around the world clearing land mines - travels to these countries on a detonation team and serves on their board. They have a 19 year old serving in Iraq, another son in the Naval Academy, a daughter recently graduated from Columbia Univ., an adopted daughter in high school, and another son who is the finance guy at the beer firm. Raised kids in Phoenix, AZ rather than Washington DC.(better atmosphere) He commuted.
In 1991, Mrs. McCain came across a girl in an orphanage in Bangladesh. Mother Teresa implored Mrs. McCain to take the baby with a severe cleft palate. She did so without first telling her husband. The couple adopted the girl who has had a dozen operations to repair her cleft palate and other medical problems.
They have a Family Foundation for children's causes. She's active with "Halo Trust" - to clear land mines, and to provide water and food in war ravaged and developing countries. She will join an overseas mission of "Operation Smile", a charity for corrective surgery on children's faces.
She has had two back surgeries and became addicted to pain killers. She talks openly about it, which she says is part of the recovery process.
I'm surprised the media is so quiet about her attributes. She sounds more capable than Hillary or Obama put together. We would really get two for the price of one if John McCain were to become our next President. She's a person with business and international experience. John did work for the firm for awhile when he left the Navy. She, however, has the real business experience. Very interesting.
Just last night I saw her on Jay Lenno and she is a fascinating woman. She drives race cars with here son. She has hers, and he has his. They are called Drifters, and are not judged by their speed but how well they "drift", or slide, around the corners. It pretty neat to watch. She also said she had a fear of flying, so without John knowing, she signed up for a flight ground school to see if she could overcome the fear. She found the ground school so interesting she started taking lesson. Got her private license and bought a plane. John never knew till one day she drove him to the airport and said lets go for an airplane ride. He told her he knew she had a fear of flying and it would not be necessary if all she was doing was trying to please him, and X Navy fighter pilot.. Then she told him what she had done and she took him for a ride. He must have been thrilled to death. While he was campaining for some earlier office she flew him all over the country in "her" airplane.
What a gal. What a first lady ! ! ! !
