CINDY MC CAIN ( Archived) (24)

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 was 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 a son who is the finance guy at the beer firm.



Raised kids in Phoenix , AZ rather than Washington DC .
(better atmosphere) John commuted.


In 1991, Mrs. McCain came across a young girl in a Bangladesh orphanage.
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 provide water & 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 to be first lady

A person with business and international experience.
John did work for the firm for a while after he left the Navy.
She, however, has the real business experience. Very interesting.

Thank you for sharing this, HL...I didn't know a bit about her at all, except to hear her referred to as the "beautifuly heiress wife of John McCain". I'm glad to know her better...and she would make an excellent First Lady. I've passed that on.

I saw Cindy with John at the RNC and noted that she was beautiful.
She did not look too comfortable being in the spotlight, as if she prefered not to be, in a humble way. At least that is what my spirit perceived. It seems she is a very good woman and does give her time to the betterment of humanity, definitely good character traits!

Yes, she would make a good first lady!

A real mother Teresa. I hope to be like her, someday.

SHE WIIL MAKE AN EXCELLENT FIRST LADY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, since my thread on John Mc Cain's sons is getting so much review, I thought this one needs a bump to get some more interaction.

It was a nice post HL. It's only too bad that the NY Times has made it their business to attempt to smear Mrs. Mccain. Seems they have been in contact with one of McCain's daughter's friends through a face book account and have been attempted to solicit information from this 16 year old about Mrs. McCain and her parenting qualities. There are lines and the NYT has really stepped over the line with this latest attempt of sleeze, one sided and clearly biased journalism.

all I said in the other thread is that she is prettier. I still have no time for her

Yes ship, we know, you are booked up for the next year.

So many women,
So little time!
