UAW President Ron Gettelfinger says he believes presidential candidates should be able to buy any car brand they want -- domestic or foreign -- but he just hopes they're up front with American workers about what they drive.

For Gettelfinger, the honesty of Republican presidential candidate John McCain came into question Sunday when Newsweek magazine reported that McCain's family owns 13 cars, including a Lexus, Honda and Volkswagen convertible.

The report contradicts what McCain told a local TV station earlier this month -- that he's bought American vehicles "literally all my life."

"It's a nice campaign line, but he's not being straight with the people of Michigan," Gettelfinger said Sunday in a conference call with reporters. "People are free to buy any kind of car they want, but 'Buy American' can't be a slogan that he just rolls out when he's in Michigan."

Dude -- THIRTEEN CARS AND SEVEN HOUSES! Do not tell me that this guy is fighting for the "common man" -- that's complete BS. How can he make decisions that are best for the majority of Americans when he is nowhere near the majority?? I'm not saying Barack Obama is Mr. All American, but come on...I don't think McCain is the best person to make decisions when he doesn't have to make the types of decisions I do.
