Barack has dedicated his life to lifting people up and motivating people to take control of their lives by assembling, giving them more barganing power as a group against big companies who don't have the common person's well being in mind. Paris Hilton, on the other hand has been rich her entire life and has no idea what common people are going through in this country, neither does McCaine. That's why he compared the two. He just has no clue. He's rich just like Paris Hilton. It was inaccurate and inapropriate, maybe even immature.
