Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) on Monday will launch a multimedia campaign to draw attention to the involvement of Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) in the “Keating Five” savings-and-loan scandal of 1989-91, which blemished McCain’s public image and set him on his course as a self-
styled reformer.
Retaliating for what it calls McCain's “guilt-by-association” tactics, the Obama campaign is e-mailing millions of supporters a link to a website, KeatingEconomics.com, which will have a 13-minute documentary on the scandal beginning at noon Eastern time on Monday. The overnight e-mails urge recipients to pass the link on to friends.

It is about time for the Dems to go on offense for a change. McSame's earliest years in politics were shaped by this very sorry chapter in "American capitalism". The next even better chapter was called Enron. Now we have the "next Great Depression" upon us. Is more McSame the answer that America is searching for? I think NOT.

1 Read the Rolling Stone biography of John McCain. He isn't who you think he is. Lots of quotes from people who have known him for 60 years, his fellow prisoners of war, politicians from his own party, ex-employees and ex-friends. Share it with everyone you know.

A transcript excerpt from Meet The Press which aired Sunday October 5th, 2008.
Be sure to read the part about a board that McCain sat on that was an extreme right wing group considered to be made up of extremist, racists, and Anti-Semites. GOV. SARAH PALIN: Evidently there’s been a lot of interest in what I read lately. Well, I was reading today a copy of The New York Times, and I was really interested to read in there about Barack Obama’s friends from Chicago. Turns out one of his earliest supporters is a man who, according to The New York Times, was a domestic terrorist and part of a group, part of a group that, quote,“launched a campaign of bombings that would target the Pentagon and the U.S. Capitol.” (End of Video) MR. BROKAW: That’s Sarah Palin. Mr. Begala, listen, this has been below—just below the radar for some time now. It’s not entirely clear how close their association is. Obama has condemned those acts at that time. Would it have been wiser for him, however, to get at that much earlier than now, when--30 days before the election? MR. BEGALA: Well, no. Obama was—he was asked about this in a debate in a primaries with Hillary Clinton sitting there; George Stephanopoulos of ABC asked him about it. He answered it. He pointed out that the despicable acts this guy committed were committed when, apparently, Barack Obama was eight years old. And, and I think Governor Palin here is making a strategic mistake. This guilt by association path is going to be trouble ultimately for the McCain campaign. You know, you can go back—I’ve written a book about McCain. I had a dozen researchers go through him. I didn’t even put this in the book. But John McCain sat on the board of a very right-wing organization. It was the U.S. Council for World Freedom. It was chaired by a guy named John Singlaub, who wound up involved in the Iran-Contra scandal. It was an ultraconservative right-wing group. The Anti-Defamation League, in 1981, when McCain was on the board, said this about this organization. It was affiliated with the World Anti-Communist League, the parent organization, which ADL said,“has increasingly become a gathering place, a forum, a point of contact for extremists, racists and Anti-Semites.” Now, that’s not John McCain. I don’t think he is that. But, but, you know, the problem is that a lot of people know John McCain’s record better than Governor Palin, and he does not want to play guilt by association or this thing could blow up in his face. MR. BROKAW: Mr. Murphy, one of the defenders of William Ayers in Chicago is Rich Daley, the six-term mayor of the city, who has said that, in fact, Mr. Ayers has been very helpful on school issues. Isn’t that going to be an effective counterstrike against anything that the McCain people try to do here? MR. MURPHY: Maybe. But Ayers has kind of gotten off a little easy in Chicago. A lot of people say what a good guy he is. The problem is the one person who hasn’t really condemned William Ayers enough is William Ayers, and I think that’s a real problem. And Obama, while, he’s clearly not the same. He still also has pulled his punches, I think, a little bit about it. And this will be a kerfuffle, it’ll do a little damage to Obama, but fundamentally this campaign’s going to be about the economy. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/27034205/page/2/ |

Wow! I believe that the Republicans were not counting on all this stuff to come out against McCain. By the way, I couldn't find it at the link you provided, but I'm including the link where I found it. Like Palin Jane said, check this rather extensive piece on McCain before you decide who to vote for. http://www.rollingstone.com/news/coverstory/m... |

2 McCain was cleared of any wrongdoing in the hearings. Why don't McCain bring up the drug abuse that Obama talks about in his own word in his own book? Obama does not want to try that game of mudslinging, because he is the one with mud all over his resume' and life? I wish they would put me on the McCain campaign, because that is exactly what I would be doing, talking about Obama and his life, that is exactly what the Americans need to understand> |

1 uuuhhhmmm.... maybe we don't talk about those things cause we're "Obama lovers" as you put it, but in all seriousness, John McCain has been talking all this junk since Thursday, about how he's gonna "take off the gloves" and expose the type of person Obama really is. He even had the ol' pitbull herself, Sarah "Barracuda" Palin starting on the personal attacks. Then what happens? Oh oh, the Democrats are not gonna play weak and nice this election cycle. The Democrats are gonna get down and dirty this time. |

Well, what has Obama been convicted of? Not a damn thing, and trust me, an old Washington "maverick" like McCain has a lot more skeletons in his closet than a relatively newcomer like Obama. Whether you wanna believe any of it or not doesn't matter because a smear is a smear like it or not. The grand ol' facade of the maverick straight-talker himself will take a bigger hit than Obama will. Obama was already pounded by Hillary, so whatever McCain flings at him is old news, but you never hear that many smears about McCain do you? Just the typical war hero stuff. Well, Obama took a beating by Hillary, and now it is time for McCain to take the beating that he was never given during the primaries, as if he didn't have his hands full by all the swings states starting to trend to Obama or the economic mess we are facing |

I hope that both campaigns take off the gloves and have a go at each other? at least we will get to find out all of the National Enquirer stuff that enquiringly minds want to know about? Then let the chips fall wherever they fall? |
Go to this link and look at what Hannity has uncovered about Obama.... This is amazing of the history of Sen. Obama It looks as if Obama has been involved with some people that he doesn't want to discuss.... http://www.foxnews.com/hannitysamerica/ Share it with everyone!!!!! GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!! |

also wanted to say that I work in a tourist town bar, and have asked many people from all over the east coast who they are voting for, and I have yet to get one Obama, so which ever media is saying that Obama is winning the polls, just remember that after the elections and you will know which media you should watch or spend money with after the election?
make the media accountable for their actions as they do so much? |

what you seem to have not thought of is Clinton and Obama were running for the Democratic nominee? Now Obama is running for the President's office, these truths will hurt him with American's who don't want to let someone like Obama with the drug use he has had be President? This is not the forgiving conservatives of the Democratic world, we do not forget? And you are right, I imagine McCain does have more skeletons in his closet, but with how young Obama is compared to McCain he has three times as more skeletons in his past, and it is time they came out for us Americans who do like to vote on character along with experience |

Why would Obama bring it up?? Because that is the way McShame wants to "play". McLame is pathetic!! He cannot speak to the issues (platform) of his campaign because there is NONE. NO PLAN....NOTHING!! You want to talk about drugs??? Really wanna go there??? Big deal, Obama experimented with pot and alcohol when he was in his early 20's. WHO HASN'T?!?! YOU WANT TO GO THERE???....CINDY MCCAIN WAS AN ADDICTED DRUG ABUSER. She STOLE $$$ from charities to buy drugs. She FORGED drug prescriptions!! And THEN guess what happened??? Her husband, JOHN MCSHAME....COVERED THE WHOLE THING UP! So....keep going. There is WAY more damaging dirt on the McShame's and the Palin's that won't even COME CLOSE to Obama!! Haha |

Go here www.mccainkeatingfive.com
and read about how McCain would have gone to prison if not for his mighty connections that got him off the hook. Why do you think he quickly turned tail and ran back to Washington to fight for my tax dollars (and yours). I'm sure he has vested interest in those phony firms. |

1 "I didn't decide to run for President to start a national crusade for the political reforms I believed in or to run a campaign as if it were some grand act of patriotism. In truth, I wanted to be President because it had become my ambition to be President. I was sixty-two years old when I made the decision and I thought it was my one shot at the prize." [John McCain, "Worth the Fighting For: A Memoir" (2002)] Let me shorten it for people who can't comprehend...McShame wants to be President just because he wants to. NO OTHER REASON!! He failed at becoming an Admial in the Navy; I guess this would be the next best thing. Pathetic! |
