Doesn't McCain also have a daughter they adopted from Bangladesh?

[Obamarama]

Where is she? Why are we seeing just caucasian, happy, smiley blond McCains?

1. Up in the attic hidden away, in the celler, cleaing out cinders from the fireplace.

"Where oh wear is my fairy godmother to rescue from my mean, evil stepfather."

2. I guess they un-adopted her.

Or maybe she's off somewhere getting her skin bleached.

3. She's not "like the others"..not a photogenic girl

and they would not want to remind people all the time that she's their daughter.:(

7. Isn't it nice how she walks up to 15 paces behind the 'parents'??

:puke:

15. Born with a cleft lip and palate...

Corrected after she came to the US.

4. I've read that she doesn't like the limelight and that her parents respect her wishes

I have no problem with that, if its true.

5. That doesn't ring true to me

11. I read the story

John McCain has spent very little time with Cindy or the rest of the family, including Bridget. I don't believe they have spent enough time together to have a real bond.

The story says she likes to play volleyball and I can see that she has the body for that sport, but she doesn't have the body for basketball, which she also says she likes to play. I just think this story is a fluff piece for kids. I don't think it is necessarily a true story.

12. What teenager would not really "get into" the idea of traveling

and having your Dad run for president?

This is a made up story to keep her away from the media, who would definitely take her picture..

Cindy brought her back..like a puppy from the pound..and since SHE's the boss of the family, John went along with it, but they never mention her without saying "adopted-daughter-from-Bangladesh" :puke:

13. I forget -- how much campaigning did Chelsea do in 1996?

She was 16 at the time.

[SoCalDem]

14. She was never interviewed, but she was there..

It's kind of a big deal..Not many people get to actively participate in real history :)

8. Yes! Cindy brought her back with another baby.

They both had medical problems. McCain knew nothing about it until Cindy got off the plane with them.
Friends adopted the other child.
In 2000, someone working with the Bush campaign began a rumor that McCain had a black child. It was very, very nasty,
and that's one of the reasons that McCain hated Bush so much.

9. Geez, I had no idea he had this daughter.

Poor kid is definitely off the radar.
