Exclusive: Obama to hit McCain on Keating Five
Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) on Monday is launching 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.
Good gravy. Here we go again. Didn't the NY Times try this already? Even that Democrat Bob Bennett, who helped investigate the "Keating Five" mess said Sen. McCain didn't do anything wrong. The most important bit is that Sen. McCain learned a lesson from that mess and started down the path of being a reformer. While Sen. Barack "Hopenchange" Obama still has yet to learn anything from his poor judgement (which further illustrates how poor his judgment and how great, to borrow a word from Charlie Gibson, his hubris is) and has yet to actually reform a darned thing.
I certainly hope this *snicker* attack ups the ante and the next chapter in "The Obama You Don't Know About... But Should" book Gov. Palin is [finally] reading to us from will cover how in 1994 then "community organizer" Barack Obama sued Citibank under the CRA to force them to make the same bad loans other banks were being forced to make by other "community organizers" and certain congresscritters (most, if not all, having a 'D' after their names). And how the CRA and its misuse and the unintended consequences have, in no small part, flushed our economy down the crapper.
Update: (Via Michelle Malkin) Looks like McCain's reading this chapter. Or at least, tying the two together. He really needs to point out the 1994 shenanigans. Folks have been wondering what a "community organizer" does, now we know part of it. I mean, other than flooding the electoral process with bogus votes in an attempt to steal (yet another) election.
