One surprise - Americans on BOTH sides of the fence are becoming aware of the massive fraud committed against us.
This IS a great video, but long and somewhat boring for the ADD generation. In clear terms, spell out what's happening here. Just constructive criticism. Obama 2008!
Fantastic video, It was answering my questions and concerns while they were being formulated. Everyone I know will be watching this movie shortly, and hopefully more people I don't know will too.
I almost feel sorry for McCain except that his bad leadership in the Senate sold us out as well as the world. McCain's short term personal gain worlds long term pain.
Palin; miss use of Government power for personal Gain, which was not forgiven. There was not a was to prosecute her. Two very bad choices for top leadership in the USA.
McCain allowed and even encouraged them to gamble with our money they did so and we lost he and his supporters call it capitalism... I call it reckless endangerment.
McCain likes to attack Obama's character & his associations but as everyone can see McCain also has some skeletons of his own in the closet that he'd rather not talk about. It might damage his own character in the friends he keeps.
I remember this from when I was a young adult, people lost everything they had, it was a very big deal, and the fact that John Mccain got of as easy as he did was because he has always done c.y.a. you learn that in the military. Mit Romny said "john Mccain will take a weed waker to regulation" that was at the RNC, that shoud be your ad, 1 min of Mccain and other reps saying no regulation, that is all it would take. Do it please.
Excellent video and well put together. It's about time the Democrats started to fight back against the Republican "Fear and Smear" campaigns that won them the last two elections.
As an expat I have high hopes for America's future once the regressive right-wing is out of Washington and America returns to the strong economic policies the Democrats showed in the 90's. America simply cannot bear the burden of another four years of failed Republican strategy.
The way things are now, it will take eight years the least, the same amount of time BUSH-McCAIN have taken to destroy a prosperous economy left by Pres. Clinton, for OBAMA to
straightnen out this mess. We are ready for you, President Obama.
I'm glad that Barack has learned the lessons of Kerry's loss and is fighting back against the smears perpetrated by a man who is out of answers about what to do about the economy on a day that the DOW plunges 800 points. McCain truly is a one trick pony who's only approach to the economy is to throw money, favors, and breaks at the wealthy believing it will trickle down. We see where this approach took us the last 8 years. Barack will build the economy from the bottom up. Far more sensible.
it takes a very brave person to speak against such powerful evils, may Obama continue to receive the support he deserve from the people whom he takes these great risks for.
Incredible video. John McCain is really a piece of work. I want to know how he sleeps at night having been a part of this BS in our country's history and for running such a disgraceful campaign that only seeks to tear other people down instead of lift this country up. "Country First?" More like "Country Fifth". America cannot afford to go down this dark road with McCain/Palin.
in response to those who doubt the credibility of this video (not on this site but others):
My mom worked for Bill Black at the Federal Home Loan Bank of SF during the S&L crisis - she witnessed a lot of this stuff directly. Black was subject to an intimidation/harassment campaign due to his involvement in the scandal (sponsored, of course, by Keating). It's all true.
Talking about contributions, it appears that Obama is a quick learner. With federal commissioners NOW looking into the source of money raised for Obama's current campaign for the presidency, you wonder whether this clip will boomerang. Knowing how good the republicans are at hitting where it hurts, it's only a matter of day or two before they put something similar together.
Obama had to hit back, but doing it this way was bad strategy.
Was wondering when this was going to be brought up. Great counter to McCain's new strategy, I guess Barack does know the difference between a tactic and a strategy after all.
I especially enjoy how Palin is being used to question Obama's character when she herself is not qualified to be VP or President.
This video raises alot of really good questions. McCain protecting Keating over the American people...and now he's running for President?? WTF, how was he allowed to even enter the republican primaries???
Hey Joe Sixpacks! Watch this video and see how much McCain really represents your interests. Not much--unless of course, you take him on a cruise or buy him an iPhone.
Excellent documentary. I believe we must learn from our past mistakes. McCain apparently is ill equipped to make the changes we need to take care of this mess created by GW Bush.
McCain was married to a beer heiress at that time. Do you really think he cared a bit about the few dollars that Keating donated to his campaign or a free trip to the Bahamas?
I wonder where those crack Fox Investigative Reporters were all this time.. they never mentioned the Keating 5 (which cost Americans billions of dollars), except for now, and the represent it as a "smear" tactic by Obama... not that Fox have never smeared Obama's character.
This is the first time hearing of the keating Five, what tha.....MCcain thing of playing Hide and seek with the american people,no no No no no nonsense MCcain what tha fraudligan Was you think of, what tha.....was you think Making money hard earned money disapear shame shame what tha.... .
Very good video. We cannot allow McCain to smear his way back to the white house. Vote intelligence, dignity and competence back into the white house. Obama 08!!!!
Even his own Republican brotherin found him difficult.
I warn, he is a terrible choice to represent us. He hasn't a diplomatic bone in his body and will turn stomach's around the world as he has done here with mine!
The global crisis stated here is exactly what began today with markets falling abroad. My only hope would be that we could allow more Americans sprecifically republicans and undecideds to view this...I am literally moving to Canada if McCain is elected.
I like how this was made. Straight to the point and little rhetoric. You can tell that they had this waiting in someones Dreamweaver for a little while before they dealt this blow.
fraud? just look at the last 2 elections, and what 'they' pulled off. This one will be no different, with many more shitnaggicans. That's the real fraud. Our system of voting is dead, like the dollar. what happened to the 60,s, and that kind of movement? now there is free speech zones and....american brain dead???,
people that do not think they have to educate themselves=repukewecans..
McCain has no integrity. If you stand for nothing,you will fall for any-and everything! This phrase epitomizes McCain's life. Thanks for the truth and an awesome video.
We need more information such as this, it is crucial. The truth needs to wake the people up from their Faux News states. The Republican party runs contrary to current position; their actions demonstrate a desire for big government, more taxes, less education, less work, and a much more divided nation on crucial issues. A divided nation is a conquered nation. Big business and Republican politics have become one and the same. It is time for change, it is time for a true leader.
And to think that some people think Barack is not tough enough to fight an enemy. We won't take another untrue swift boat campaign smear this election. This video is a definite slam dunk for points in this last period of the election game. Yes we can!!!
Obama will win be a landslide as he is hands down the better candidate!!!
wow! Watching this video, I fail to understand how Obama having one party thrown by someone he's not very close to even compares to the close, long friendship and financial benefits McCain got from Keating. I wouldn't use it against either of them, but if he wants to start trouble, he better look in the mirror.
Free up the rich to steal from the rest of us blind, and they'll trickle down enough money for the rest of us to survive. Until their whole house of cards comes tumbling down.
This trickle down economics, what GHWB called in 1980 "VooDoo Economics", enabling the rich to 'create wealth from nothing' by stealing from others has gotten us exactly where we are today, thanks to people like Ronald Reagan, David Stockman, John McCain, Phil Gramm.
I was initially turned down by Lincoln Savings for a home loan & the reason was that my husband & I were "Too young and we are not loaning you the money for your own good". After receiving the letter of denial from them we took our $30,000 out of our savings with them.A week or so later they romanced us, wanting our business, would all of the sudden give us a loan. Then this ____ hit the fan. I remember these McCain trials. That's only ONE reason I would NEVER vote for the crook!!!OBAMA-BIDEN 08
Can you imagine if Ayers or any other American criminal gave Obama and his family a paid vacation? The election would be over...OVER!! Spread the word on this....people need to know that John McCain is not for the poor and middle classbut for te rich..the crooks of Wall Stree!
To those concerned about national security, it isn't "finishing a war" that will make us safe, it's a strong economy. The American economy is supposed to BE our biggest strength, and all the Bush Administration did was grandstand about protecting us from "terrists" while shredding our best security blanket: our economy. You want America to be safe? VOTE OBAMA-BIDEN! McCain's economics and Palin's religious zealotry = TRULY DANGEROUS for America.
John Mc Cain is a criminal. He got away with it, bought a bit of justice for himself. Oh God! The world doesn't need more of this crap. Choosing Sarah Palin for VP was another appalingly poor judgement on his behalf.
I never heard about this Keating thing until MSNBC talked about it today. This is very informational. Just another reason to not vote for McCain. Like the saying goes get me once shame on you. Get me twice shame on me. Oops I'm sorry this man has been in the senate for over 25yrs. I say he's gotten us a lot of times. He only voted with Bush 90% of the time and pushed for deregulation. I say we take a stand and say "NO TO THE SAME AND YES TO THE CHANGE". OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT!!!!!!!
We are not where we are because of something McCain did in the 80s. We are where we are because federal gov forced banks to offer sub prime mortgages (risky mortgages to those who most banks did not think could afford a house loan). The dems were the ones to push forward the idea of sub primes. Fannie Mae was a huge dealer in sub primes. Many of Obama's chief advisors were with Fannie Mae. Both McCain and Bush fought to regulate Fannie Mae.
John McCain offers nothing. Even if he delivered on his maverick reform (whatever that means) he'd still be exactly like GW. Same economics but with a VP more ambitious and somehow dumber than GW.
McLame's going to regret the day he thought he could go negative during this campaign. Sure he's going to get more press, but it's the wrong kind. He never should have brought up Ayers.
It's smart because it doesn't accuse or imply McCain of doing anything illegal ; instead it accuses him of not doing the RIGHT thing to prevent massive financial losses to the protect the American people even when he was fully aware of the problem.
This is an excellent video told by one of the principal good guys in the story. I can't say strongly enough that this video should be required viewing with voter registration! This story has such a direct correlation to the current crisis that the very thought of McCain with this ideology in the White House is extremely scary!
Yes, this is 20 years old, but it's not as old as POW camp, therefore it's valid under McCain's own campaign rules. More importantly, it's about the political culture of stealing from Americans under the guise of 'deregulation.' Long story short: McCain didn't get it then, and he doesn't get it now.
Interesting stuff... 24 years old, but interesting. I'd like to see a report on this with more than 1 source (note: one guy talked the whole time during this) and also have it be published my someone other than OBAMA'S YOUTUBE CHANNEL.. geeze, conflict of interest there? This could all be true, people, but take it with a grain of salt and use your heads: look at the source.
Strange how that Keating bailout totaled 3.4 billon and the one this week is 7 billion. This has McCain's finger prints all over it. Now I know why he tried to delay the debates. He had to make sure that his name did not show up on any documentation.
note: when mccain attacks, the media says obama is too calm. when obama attacks back (as he should), the media goes into 'moral logic mood' and start saying, "oh, the american people are tired of political attack".
If this didn't seem so tabloid I might believe it more.

I was initially turned down by Lincoln Savings for a home loan & the reason was that my husband & I were "Too young and we are not loaning you the money for your own good". After receiving the letter of denial from them we took our $30,000 out of our savings with them.A week or so later they romanced us, wanting our business, would all of the sudden give us a loan. Then this ____ hit the fan. I remember these McCain trials. That's only ONE reason I would NEVER vote for the crook!!!OBAMA-BIDEN 08

Obama was 9 when Bill Ayers was doing his "terrorist" thing, McCain was active in this scandal; that's unforgivable.

To those concerned about national security, it isn't "finishing a war" that will make us safe, it's a strong economy. The American economy is supposed to BE our biggest strength, and all the Bush Administration did was grandstand about protecting us from "terrists" while shredding our best security blanket: our economy. You want America to be safe? VOTE OBAMA-BIDEN! McCain's economics and Palin's religious zealotry = TRULY DANGEROUS for America.

John Mc Cain is a criminal. He got away with it, bought a bit of justice for himself. Oh God! The world doesn't need more of this crap. Choosing Sarah Palin for VP was another appalingly poor judgement on his behalf.

I never heard about this Keating thing until MSNBC talked about it today. This is very informational. Just another reason to not vote for McCain. Like the saying goes get me once shame on you. Get me twice shame on me. Oops I'm sorry this man has been in the senate for over 25yrs. I say he's gotten us a lot of times. He only voted with Bush 90% of the time and pushed for deregulation. I say we take a stand and say "NO TO THE SAME AND YES TO THE CHANGE". OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT!!!!!!!

We are not where we are because of something McCain did in the 80s. We are where we are because federal gov forced banks to offer sub prime mortgages (risky mortgages to those who most banks did not think could afford a house loan). The dems were the ones to push forward the idea of sub primes. Fannie Mae was a huge dealer in sub primes. Many of Obama's chief advisors were with Fannie Mae. Both McCain and Bush fought to regulate Fannie Mae.

John McCain offers nothing. Even if he delivered on his maverick reform (whatever that means) he'd still be exactly like GW. Same economics but with a VP more ambitious and somehow dumber than GW.

What happen with Al Gore and Jim Kerry will not be repeated without a fight. McCain votes AGAINST our combat troops ...
5/2008: McCain voted AGAINST the Webb GI Bill.
9/2007: McCain voted AGAINST bill to minimize periods of time between deployment of units sent to Iraq.
5/2006: McCain voted AGAINST $20 Million to VA for health care facilities.
There is more.

It's smart because it doesn't accuse or imply McCain of doing anything illegal ; instead it accuses him of not doing the RIGHT thing to prevent massive financial losses to the protect the American people even when he was fully aware of the problem.

This is an excellent video told by one of the principal good guys in the story. I can't say strongly enough that this video should be required viewing with voter registration! This story has such a direct correlation to the current crisis that the very thought of McCain with this ideology in the White House is extremely scary!
No way! No how! No McCain!!!!!

Yes, this is 20 years old, but it's not as old as POW camp, therefore it's valid under McCain's own campaign rules. More importantly, it's about the political culture of stealing from Americans under the guise of 'deregulation.' Long story short: McCain didn't get it then, and he doesn't get it now.

Interesting stuff... 24 years old, but interesting. I'd like to see a report on this with more than 1 source (note: one guy talked the whole time during this) and also have it be published my someone other than OBAMA'S YOUTUBE CHANNEL.. geeze, conflict of interest there? This could all be true, people, but take it with a grain of salt and use your heads: look at the source.

Strange how that Keating bailout totaled 3.4 billon and the one this week is 7 billion. This has McCain's finger prints all over it. Now I know why he tried to delay the debates. He had to make sure that his name did not show up on any documentation.

its about time!
watch the media carefully.
note: when mccain attacks, the media says obama is too calm. when obama attacks back (as he should), the media goes into 'moral logic mood' and start saying, "oh, the american people are tired of political attack".
