I got this in a e-mail and the person who sent it checked snopes...it is true.

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.

She and Sen. John McCain 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.

The McCains have a 19 year old serving in Iraq, another son in the Naval Academy,
a daughter who 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 who had 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, 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 awhile when he left the Navy.

She, however, has the real business experience.

Very interesting.
