Cindy McCain

Here is an e-mail I received about Cindy McCain.  I tested it with www.truthorfiction.com and it is true!  I knew nothing about her until I read this:

 

“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 service 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)  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 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, 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.  We would really get two for the price

of one.  A person with business and international experience. 

John did work for the firm for a while when he left the Navy.  She,

however, has the real business experience.  Very interesting.”
