John McCain is a service tool for Big Business, and nothing else. Not a Father, son, husband, brother, nothing. Nothing but a tool for use by the highest bidder. That is why he married Cindy, for money and political connections, not love. His whole life is a fraud. He gave up military information as a POW, in order to get better treatment. He was a horrible Naval pilot, and will never be President. Thank you, God!
The funny thing is McCain is trying to link Obama to a man that did horrible things when Obama was 8 years. Palin is being investigated in Alaska for abusing her power.
The crazy thing about the Obama campaign is that they are well prepared. They were waiting and I mean itching to let this one loose. They didnt just make this.
Awesome I saw the video and I was like "give us the truth team Obama" because I was not aware of the whole Keating 5 story, that is the Obama I want for President, he is standing up to McCain the Bully.... Stand up for change people, we need true change not fake maverick ideology
hmn! I never knew this part of Mccain's history. He's such a hypocrite. He goes about screaming how much of a war hero and patriot he is, yet he corruptly enriched himself at the taxpayer's expense. It's incredible, I can't believe it. Honestly i don't know what to say. I'm so disappointed.
McCain just said today that Obama should be judged on what he's accomplished in politics in his past. If that's the case, then we need to make sure that EVERYONE takes a good look at this and realizes what John McCain has done in HIS past and how it mirrors what's happening now.
I hate to see Obama stooping to the level of the McCain/Palin campaign. This ad as well as other recent comments and ads that mischaracterize and mislead others has led me to refrain from voting for Obama. He is turning into every other politician, and that makes me sad.
i love all the facts in this video, its just so full of factual arguments, its amazing. If it was just some rambling about some stuff hoping no one would look further into, that would concern me, but no, its all facts, no vague arguments or half truths
This stuff is directly relevant to what is going on today, unlike the desperate attacks on Obama "associates." But why go all the way back to Keating? Phil Gramm, who may be the single most reponsible person behind our current mess, remains a close McCain friend and advisor.
McCain was indeed one of the Keating Five. In fact, McCain was the only one of the five with close "social" and "personal" ties to Keating. Between 1982/87 McCain accepted $112,000 in political contributions from Keating and his associates. McCain's wife Cindy and her father Jim Hensley had invested $359,100 in a Keating shopping center just one year before McCain met with the regulators. McCain, his family, and baby-sitter made nine trips at Keating's expense, sometimes aboard Keating's jet.
Is it any wonder that McCain/Palin want to divert the voting public away from these issues. This should forever discredit anything that John McCain has to say about character and honesty. He should have gone to jail rather than just get a slap on the wrist. AND he should have resigned from the House of Representatives in disgrace. Did he think the American public would just forget this dishonesty? What a travesty!
"Nearly half a million views in only a day. Awesome!"
And Palin has helped do all the work that would give the Keating scandal attention--dumb move Palin, smart for Obama though... You want to play 'guilt with association' GOP? Careful what you wish for.
Whatever....and this is worse than pork to the tune of 900mil...to various organizations and Rezko dealing,...going to hate whitey church for 20 years...receiving money for "overseas" from unknown donators...this is going on now...now 20 years ago,...Next Argument!
Amazing and very informative. I appreciate that this is not a simple accusation...this is a true event that can be backed up by eye witnesses and written documentation. It's a "darn" shame that McCain and his associates have the luxury to laugh at Middle Class America's fear of a financial breakdown.
I betcha Joe Sixpack isn't too happy about that one.
Pharmacists for Obama!!! (well, at least this pharmacist is for Obama!)
Much kudos to the obama campaign on that one. They make some comments, you come up with a documentary.They stab, you shoot. This shows me you guys were ready before hand. I hope you got more of this for the coming days. I questioned if you guys had it in you at times. Its gonna get ugly so keep it up. I am going to the website now to contribute.
I can't believe that they waited this long to talk about this. McCain is so corrupt. He is in the back pocket of big money. Always has been, always will be.
In numerous speeches recently John McCain has claimed he was exonerated for his role in the Keating Five Scandal. This is a bold faced LIE. If that were true, it would be known today as the Keating Four Scandal. The only reason that the Senate Ethics Committee didn't issue a formal reprimand against John McCain and John Glenn is that they were both considered to be American Heroes. The Ethics Committee never exonerated him.......
Was wondering why Obama or Biden hadn't mentioned the Keating 5 stuff yet...corruption and greed were allowed to run wild and our economy is paying for it right now.
That's why this 'Keating 5' scandal is a scandal in the first place..because look what happens when it occurs on a grand scale.
The US Office of Thrift Supervision investigated Silverado's failure and determined that Neil Bush had engaged in numerous "breaches of his fiduciary duties involving multiple conflicts of interest." A civil action was brought against him and the other Silverado directors; it was eventually settled out of court, with Bush paying $50,000 as part of the settlement.
A Republican fundraiser set up a fund to help defer costs Neil incurred in his S&L dealings
We will give this election to the campaign that keeps this election focused on the issues. We are smart enough to discern that the McCain campaign is now smearing Obama because of their lack of ideas to solve current economic problems. There is no reason for you to go back on your word concerning this issue and get caught up in the mudslinging game.
sad, but true. McCain is much better than your average Republican running these days, but still he doesn't hold a candle to someone like Obama who just has natural leadership.
McCain and Palin want to "take off the gloves". What are they going to do, bleed all over America? They have not only been negative since the start of the election process but were just as evil in the past!
This should've been all over the news when McCain went to Washington for the bailout. Maybe he was up there to bailout his friends like he did during the S&L crisis!
Hit back where it hurts Obama. Good on you. You were classy enough to make this campaign about the future, and the present state of the Nation. If McCain wants to go this way so can you. You should also bring up the fact that he voted agianst Martin Luther King Day.
Way to go Obama, hit him, hit him, and hit him yet again. Now this the way to talk about what matters to the American people, and not false personal attacks!
Hell yeah! It's about time! This needs to get out there. John McCain is a corrupt lobbyist-turned-politician who has admitted he doesn't understand economics. And he was involved in the Keating 5 scandal. This isn't who we want in charge now in the middle of an economic meltdown. Obama has a viable economic plan laid out. McCain's only plan is to smear Obama for the next 30 days.
Hit him hard, Barack! This man would be the ruin of the United States. Scratch that; we've already had eight years of ruin. He would be four MORE years of ruin.
Ok Mccain. You want to tell the world that Obama is linked to everyone person he passes walking down the street.
Let us now remind the world, and show the younger voters your checkered past. You were a VERY CLOSE friend to the Keating and you used Political clout to help him out as he defrauded millions of Americans. You took his money and you are GUILTY by association.
Every common sense person can see you were "upt to no-good" (as your running mate would say).
If you don't, she will only continue to attack Barack's past associations and it WILL have an effect.
Take off the gloves!
Attack her on the Alaskan Independence Party and the line from it's founder, Joe Volger, that says:"The fires of hell are frozen glaciers compared to my hatred for the American government. And I won't be buried under their damn flag."
If you don not do this, the tide will turn to McCain!
John McCain actively "backed Reagan on [...]support for the Nicaraguan contras"*, 'terrorists', i.e., people who placed bombs in schools, hospitals, and generally targeted civilians in order to affect the Nicaraguan democratic political process.
*[my source is Rolling Stone but it must be in the public domain]
Finally! I was wondering when we'd begin to talk about John McCain's role in the banking scandal and how it directly relates to the crisis we are facing today. Keep the focus on the economy and the problems we're facing, and don't let the McCain smears distract you or the American people!
Amazing how McBush loves sleeping with mortgage crooks! From his days as a Bought Politician of Charles Keating to his days of being a Bought politician of Rick Davies. Nothing changes with McBush, NOTHING except we become stupider for giving him another chance to rob us of our country! Say No to McBush!
There is now a big smile on my face, and joy in my heart. McCain's supporters have been shown what a beauty queen airhead their VP candidate is, and now they will be reminded in full force what a lying scumbag their presidential candidate is. I can't wait for the blocks to fall.
Excellent ad. And now the mcCloneBush and Idiot ticket knows that the Obama people are just as tough, yet so much more truthful, than their Rovian leaders.
If this is true, this is devastating to John McCain. Someone should ask him campaign to clarify his relationship with this very shady and disreputable person, Charles Keating.
McCain's involvement in the Keating 5 is far more relevant to the current crisis than Obama's passing acquaintance with Bill Ayers. McCain chose to intervene on Keating's behalf; Obama met Ayers years after Ayers' activities, and has denounced Ayers' activities.
yea lets suck it to 'em! these republicans think they know how to attack. let's get on with it. i heard that dumb sarah palin tried to link obama with Ayers, Obama was 8yrs old! this is sweet!!! who'll see whose gonna be on the defensive. Obama Biden '08
Someone must pay, for now it is the American people, we are now having to sell our home of 13 years because all of our creditors have pulled a vote of no confidence on us, raising our interest rate from 9 percent to 35 percent, overnight, with no late payment...thanks Advanta! Thanks Countrywide for selling our credit information, 2 million files were sold and our identity was jacked~
No balance transfers either, because all of our debt is now owned by Bank of Am
This is a true character issue that brings into question just which side Senator McCain is on when it comes to protecting our nations economy. Is he on the side of shady individuals who would betray us by their greed or a fair broker out to protect the interests of consumers. Or even worse, only out for his own self interests in order to financially gain from public service.
It's about time there was an ad. This guy is such a scumbag.... Most people in their 20's and 30's don't even know.... People in their 40's it is a distant memory....
McCain is a disgrace to everything this country says it stands for. His selection of Palin only shows that he only puts his Campaign First, Country Second. And don't get me started on Palin.
Ohhh...stop looking back in history, especially when some don't like it! Did'nt Sarah scold Biden about that the other night?? Nice try, Barbie...and I'd invite all the brain dead McCain Palin voters to look back into the history of how John McCain was bought and sold like a total by Charles Keating. Or how "Maverick" Palin is the governor or THE biggest red welfare state EVER, collecting more the 8,000 dollars in Federal taxes per person than they pay in federal taxes!!
Obama and the democrats had been sitting on this one and hadn't planned to address this....but McCain is running the most dishonest and fraudulant campaign I've ever seen. So here you go Senator McSame!
It's about time we get a better picture of just who John McCain is. His basic policies and lack of judgment are related to the economic woes we all face today. For further reading on McCain's history suggest you read the in-depth cover story in this months Rolling Stone.
John McCain is a service tool for Big Business, and nothing else. Not a Father, son, husband, brother, nothing. Nothing but a tool for use by the highest bidder. That is why he married Cindy, for money and political connections, not love. His whole life is a fraud. He gave up military information as a POW, in order to get better treatment. He was a horrible Naval pilot, and will never be President. Thank you, God!

Finally! I was wondering when we'd begin to talk about John McCain's role in the banking scandal and how it directly relates to the crisis we are facing today. Keep the focus on the economy and the problems we're facing, and don't let the McCain smears distract you or the American people!

Amazing how McBush loves sleeping with mortgage crooks! From his days as a Bought Politician of Charles Keating to his days of being a Bought politician of Rick Davies. Nothing changes with McBush, NOTHING except we become stupider for giving him another chance to rob us of our country! Say No to McBush!

There is now a big smile on my face, and joy in my heart. McCain's supporters have been shown what a beauty queen airhead their VP candidate is, and now they will be reminded in full force what a lying scumbag their presidential candidate is. I can't wait for the blocks to fall.

Excellent ad. And now the mcCloneBush and Idiot ticket knows that the Obama people are just as tough, yet so much more truthful, than their Rovian leaders.

If this is true, this is devastating to John McCain. Someone should ask him campaign to clarify his relationship with this very shady and disreputable person, Charles Keating.

McCain's involvement in the Keating 5 is far more relevant to the current crisis than Obama's passing acquaintance with Bill Ayers. McCain chose to intervene on Keating's behalf; Obama met Ayers years after Ayers' activities, and has denounced Ayers' activities.

McCain decided to bring up guilt-by-association. That was probably not a smart move on his part.

Deregulation was a disaster!
Someone must pay, for now it is the American people, we are now having to sell our home of 13 years because all of our creditors have pulled a vote of no confidence on us, raising our interest rate from 9 percent to 35 percent, overnight, with no late payment...thanks Advanta! Thanks Countrywide for selling our credit information, 2 million files were sold and our identity was jacked~
No balance transfers either, because all of our debt is now owned by Bank of Am

His economic guru Phil Gramm, who was paid to peddle the deregulation that contributed to today's financial crisis calls us a nation of whiner.

This is a true character issue that brings into question just which side Senator McCain is on when it comes to protecting our nations economy. Is he on the side of shady individuals who would betray us by their greed or a fair broker out to protect the interests of consumers. Or even worse, only out for his own self interests in order to financially gain from public service.

Ohhh...stop looking back in history, especially when some don't like it! Did'nt Sarah scold Biden about that the other night?? Nice try, Barbie...and I'd invite all the brain dead McCain Palin voters to look back into the history of how John McCain was bought and sold like a total by Charles Keating. Or how "Maverick" Palin is the governor or THE biggest red welfare state EVER, collecting more the 8,000 dollars in Federal taxes per person than they pay in federal taxes!!

It's about time we get a better picture of just who John McCain is. His basic policies and lack of judgment are related to the economic woes we all face today. For further reading on McCain's history suggest you read the in-depth cover story in this months Rolling Stone.
