Cindy McCain could very well be the next First Lady of the United States. See photos, her brief biography and a video of Cindy McCain below.
Cindy McCain
As I watched Cindy McCain speak at the Republican National Convention, I was impressed with her sincerity, her depth of character and her spirit of adventure. Her father started from scratch and was able to live the American dream and make his daughter a very wealthy woman. Rather than sit back and live the life of luxury, Cindy McCain has dedicated her life to doing what she can to ease life for people around the world who are struggling with overwhelming challenges.

Cindy Lou Hensley was born on May 20, 1954, in Phoenix, Arizona to James and Marguerite “Smitty” Hensley. In 1955 James and Smitty sold all they had and scraped together $10,000 to start a beer distributororship which became the largest Anheuser-Busch beer distributorship in the United States.

Today Cindy McCain is a businessperson and a philanthropist. She founded and ran the American Voluntary Medical Team from 1988 to 1995. The American Voluntary Medical Team organizes trips by doctors, nurses and other medical personnel to third-world areas around the world that are struck by disasters or war. Even as she is busy on the campaign trail, she still is active as a philanathropist and continues to serve on the boards of several charitable organizations.
Cindy McCain received a Bachelor of Arts in Education and a Masters degree in special education from the University of Southern California. While there, she participated in a movement therapy pilot program that paved the way for treatment for children with severe disabilities.
At first she declined working in the family business, and instead she began teaching - working with children with Down Syndrome and other disabilities.
Cindy McCain is a woman who has used her resources - both physical and monetary - to help people of all races and religions. She is the real deal.

Why does Cindy deny she has a sister, named Kathleen Hensley Portalski, and tells the world she is an only child? My brother and I have different mothers too, but he is still MY brother one-hundred-percent. Why will Bidget, the adopted child from Bangladesh, inherit less than her siblings when her mom dies? Do Cindy and John love her less than the other children? I do not think Cindy is a very honest person or nice to her family.

Do you solid references for your allegations? I have neither read nor heard anthing about Bridget inheriting less than the other siblings. Sounds like a good rumor, though - especially for someone looking for dirt on the McCains.
I’ve read the stories about her sister, and I can only decide that since Cindy was raised as an only child, she did not have the opportunity to develop a relationship with this half-sister.
It’s funny you talk about Cindy not being honest or “nice” to her family. Guess if she had left Bridget to die rather than adopting her that would have been okay. And all those houses the left likes to talk about - most of them are houses that the McCains provide for their extended family. Cindy has done enormous things for her family - and John’s adopted children from his first family - and for people around the world who are needy. I think you’re barking up the wrong tree here.
And how about Obama’s brother in Kenya - and the Kenyan school that Obama promised to help?
