Re: KEATING ECONOMICS: John McCain & The Making of a Financial Crisis

[lwout1965]

Obama wont do something as simple as come up with a birth certificate.

McCain did and his is so old it was carved in stone.

In stead someone from the Democratic party no less has to file a lawsuit wtf. Now more money and time will be wasted on something most people have to do to get employment i know i did.

[Shadyac21]

People there is no economic crisis, there's not going to be another depression were not even close to it, so some points went down but were still fine. People are just trying to scare us.

[budthesmoke85]

Shadyac21, gas prices are high, people are losing jobs and homes, and that big bail out didn't make you realise that we are in an economic crisis?

You're probably a McCain supporter...

[bigdog49094]

Well most people will vote Dem or Rep so maybe you are right everything is fine.

[ratherBfishin567]

wake up...seriously im in school right now as a econ major and we are in trouble. the snowball is rolling and its getting bigger now with the global economy being effected, and no one knows where its going to stop

and it does not matter who gets ellected the economy has gotten to the point that both parties do not know what to do. and no matter there actions it will be a tough recovery

[leykisfan1]

Shadyac21, no crisis? Do you care to coment on that now?

[Shadyac21]

Why yo people never care anyway. But yes I will explain that that if I hear one more time that this is the worst economic crisis since the great depression then...

Let me tell you something this generation knows nothing of being poor even the poorest of the poor can find descent food and shelter. I even got a job out of months of filling applications I finally got one. What it is, is people are too lazy want the govt to fix their problems. They use this crisis nonsense to pass his stimulus bill

[Shadyac21]

This is not a crisis it is a problem yes but it was caused by your govt. Yes the govt got involved with the economy and tried to fix it and made it worse. Not Bush not the Republicans spending, but liberal companies like Freddy that told people that anyone can own a home even when you can't afford it. So obama uses this and calls it a crisis scary peopel like you to collaspe our economy and pass his abomination of a spending bill.

[guitarfreakstyle2]

this just in watch?v=PkE86lXsCCc very impressive and can be very very damaging to Barry Soetoro

[guitarfreakstyle2]

The authorities believe they may have duplicated voter forms, employed convicts to register people and even stolen the names of the American football team the Dallas Cowboys in order to create fake voters.

The suspicions started when authorities in Las Vegas raided the organisations offices, removing eight computer hard drives and several boxes of documents.

Acorn called the raid a stunt that serves no useful purpose other than discredit our work.

[lwout1965]

ACORN has been caught doing this crap in the last election. So i guess that means nothing ?

I am not sure were your going with your post but do you think they are going to come out and say oh damn you caught us again hehe.

Look at the eyes of the dude who posted the video wow man you look wasted lol.

I remember the Keating thing with McCain in the middle but im pretty sure no buddy was murdered like the things Obamas buddy's did.

[winecrafter]

No one can vote without a valid drivers license. Acorn is actually invalid. Why even talk about it?

[guitarfreakstyle2]

What is barak Obama formally known as Barry soetoro hiding? and why does he have duel citizenship with Indonesia?

[jrparke2001]

If you want to talk about fraud and its resulting economic messes on a global scale, lets talk about Franklin Raines and Jamie Gorelick, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac exec, who cooked the books and pocketed MILLIONS of dollars in bonuses while leading these organizations into total collapse. Lets talk about Barney Frank and Chris Dodd and the liberal mindset that is the root cause of the current mortgage crisis. These are far more consequential than anything McCain thinks about de-regulation.

[massny]

i very much agree with your comments. it is a shame almost half of america is apathetic and brainwashed.

[maumin786]

I would also like to emphasis the point that on November 4th i wont be voting against McCain but rather i will be voting for Obama.

He sounds, looks and feels like a Leader. His positive attitude and down to earth personality has made his Republican a Democrat this election.

Another interesting Fact is that in the 110th congress Senator McCain has missed far more votes then Obama.

For the sake of this beautiful nation, i Hope & Pray that

Barack will be the John.F.Kennedy of our time!

[mallamoozoo]

"sounds, looks and feels"???

For God's sake when will people vote on POLICY not personal charisma?

[maumin786]

I searched the 109th and 110th Congresses which cover the years 2005-2007.

In a nut shell I found:

Senator Obama has sponsored or co-sponsored 570 bills in the 109th and 110th Congress.

Senator Obama has sponsored or co-sponsored 15 bills that have become LAW since he joined the Senate in 2005.

Senator Obama has also introduced amendments to 50 bills, of which 16 were adopted by the Senate.

His record is in fact quite impressive for a junior Senator from Illinois.

O_o

So Its not just Charisma

[llama55]

NEWSFLASH: THREE of the "Keating 5" were Democrats. Alan Cranston - CA, John Glenn - OH & Donald Riegle - MI.

Past is prologue?

Food for thought...

[maumin786]

The point is not who they were, the point is that John McCain was one of them. Obama was not!

Obama being a Democrat does not mean he will align with every democrat and every Democrats views will be his own views. That one reason why i like him because he sounds more independent in his words and actions then the so-called Maverick.

Until Feb earlier this year i was very such an undecided Young Republican who did seriously consider McCain.

But we can not afford another 8 years of the same!

[massny]

NEWSFLASH FOR YOU!

the person you are has nothing to do with the party you are associated with.

just because someone is dem does not make them wrong.

3 of the 5 were dems. so what. 2 were repubs. so what. they were still all frauds. and so is mccain, repub or dem.

[omarieswifey]

true but they're not running to be the next president

[kam1kaze33]

Very well said.

As I believe Senator Biden said during the debate, "past is prologue"

[choptop81]

Problem is, the fanatics don't want to know about this. They hold McCain and everyone else who has an '(R)' next to their name in an almost saint-like status and any criticism of them is blasphemous. Just ask anyone in my family other than myself.

[philip0460]

Great video! 5 Stars! If you don't vote for Obama for the idiotic reasons like his race or if you think he's Muslim (which it's proven he's not), then you shouldn't vote for McCain all the more because of his association with the Keating issue.

[ridder1705]

not EVERYONE is not voting for him for race, or religion.

Nice try on the race card.

[WNanette]

Hi Cuddly, you are cut off after 1:36 for some reason...

Anyway, I hate to be the one to tell you and your readers here, but this is NOT a republican-democrat thing.

This is a David Rockefeller-Rothschild family thing.

Biden is Rockefeller's hold card - ignore Obama as you did Bush.

Bush said himself in 1998, "I'm just the face for the camera."

PLEASE write in Dr Ron Paul with me in November.

[zereoue]

Absolutely and 100% wrong.

GET INFORMED!

[ricraw2006]

he is you're the only one that isn't informed

[lateralus011]

And this is why I say that McCain is not for gay civil liberties, when asked in the VP debate if she supported them Governor Palin said "well not if it goes towards redefining the traditional idea of marriage." Personally what does the government have to do with the definition of a word. I say this because Obama supports the same constitutional rights granted to gays as hederosexual married couples. Not gay marriage because that is up to the church and the government cannot regulate that

[steffanralphdelpiano]

Both candidates supported the Bail Out at our expense! How can we say that O is any better than John?! Seriously they have the same economic policies; the same war strategy; the same outlook on Israel; the same stance on gay marriage...wake up everyone!

[Markwin74]

Steffan, Obama had no choice to support the bail-out. If you understand economics and finance it becomes clear. A total meltdown of the US financial system was iminent because of the failed policies of deregulation of the Bush administration.

[lateralus011]

Steffan on the economy John McCain was a deregulator until he found out that this was the underlying cause of the subprime mortgage crisis while Obama has always been for regulation. On the war Obama has a 16 month exit strategy while McCain has none. They both love Israel as Palin pointed out only Obama and Biden have records of opposing the Bush Administrations policies that have caused great blunders. Obama is for gay civil rights McCain is not for fear of "redefining traditional marriage"

[WNanette]

Um, marriage is a sacred bond and oath taken between the Lord, and one man and one woman, steffan, other than that, I agree with you.

[icewyrm]

Considering the US has one of the highest rates of divorce in the world, I don't see anything sacred about it.

[zereoue]

Um, then how do you explain the legislation in the states of Massachusetts and California that allows gay marriage.

I'm amazed that some people actually would play God and really enforce their beliefs on people when they absolutely know NOTHING of what they say or have any clue on that fact.

I have wonderful friends who are engaged in same sex marriages and poses NO THREAT, NO HARM, nor does it HURT anyone.

[Nilguiri]

twat

[lwout1965]

Hey dumb asses McCain was not found guilty of anything in the Keating scandal but a little fella named J Glen was. And guess what he works for Obamas election crew.

Anyone read about the ACORN raid in Vegas using fake names and address to register voters ? More Obama supporters breaking the law what a shame. Get your facts straight before posting dumb shit.

[kbulldude]

John Glenn and Republican Senator John McCain were the only Senators exonerated. So you have your facts wrong there too buddy. Maybe next time you can do some fact checking yourself. However, I would steer clear of Fox News if looking for the facts. ACORN isnt party affiliated, it is an organization for poor unregistered voters, which I guess would probably be for Obama, looking at what the last 8 years has got them. I am sure Fox News could be a help on voter fraud though, look at 2000 and 2004

[FerrariBell]

John Mccain was not exonerated. Exoneration is an act in court, and McCain was not exonerated.

[socalkickboxer]

lwout1965: John Glenn and John McCain both were the only people exonerated....idiot.

2nd: John McCain is running for President of the United States now in the wake of the worst economical disaster EVER! John Glenn is not.

Go kill yourself or get raped by an AIDS patient

[Markwin74]

Anything worthwhile you hadto say has been erased by that last sentence!

[1poorbaby]

i hope you know how bad this credit problem is, people are talking 1929 bad, just in slow motion

[WNanette]

1poorbaby,

This is going to be catastrophically worse than 1929.

DIEBOLD has our soon-to-be-suspended US Constitution in a 'safe' of their making, with them holding the 'key'.

Total anarchy in mid-November - I hope everyone is well prepared........

[danielericpetersen]

Yes but he was advised by Charles Keating on frikkin DEREGULATION issues and flown to the bahamas 9 times by Charles Keating not to mention massive campaign contributions and a friendship that continued after McCain was fully briefed on all of the illegal activities of Keating

[NocriZle]

cool

[JeNaaitUtSteeds]

keating 5 is not that long ago, dude.

not as long ago as his 'pow' days

[caltvater]

McCain was cleared by a Democratic investigation. Also, what about the other four? All Democrats, including John Glenn. Also, there is a clear link between Obama and Ayers.

[SasukeKunDesu]

--....you're asking asking Obama to keep his hands tied behind his back and take the smears and not do anything about. You're out of your fucking mind. You may be disappointed that Obama has to resort to Keating 5 as counter-fire, but you'll be even more disappointed if he loses the election due to Republican swiftboating.

[snekar313]

Who is disappointed in this topic being brought up? I see this as a LONG overdue point of discussion, Congress at the time DID state that Rep./ Sen. McCain showed "POOR JUDGEMENT" -- and his answer to our current situation is what most believe led to the S&L meltdown... MORE DEREGULATION... isn't that bad?

[SasukeKunDesu]

Exactly. I understand why Obama needed to do this. And to all you people who are not going to support him because he brought up Keating, i have something to say.

Look. The Dems have tried doing that before. We avoided using smear tactics like the Republicans because we thought you were smart enough not to fall for it. What happened? Bush gets elected for the 2nd time. And now--

[suicidebag666]

YES!
