Which candidate knows how this economy hurts?

In an article in Newsweek, we have the number of cars that the presidential candidates own:

When you have seven homes, that's a lot of garages to fill. After the fuss over the number of residences owned by the two presidential nominees, NEWSWEEK looked into the candidates' cars. And based on public vehicle-registration records, here's the score. John and Cindy McCain: 13. Barack and Michelle Obama: one.....

John McCain wants to ration veterans medical benefits. McCain has had free medical treatment his entire adult life.

Barack Obama's family had to use food stamps when he was a youngster. Both Senator Obama and his wife, Michelle, just recently finished paying off their student loans.

Which candidate understands and relates to the struggle of raising a family in our modern times? Which candidate understands economics? I believe that Senator Obama understands that Americans are having a difficult time in this economy. Sen. Obama knows how to get our people back to work and fix this mess left to us by Bush, Cheney, and McCain.
