Comments on: McCain’s Involvement in ’80s Keating Scandal Rears its Head in 2008 Election http://www.dcfountain.com/2008/10/06/mccains-involvement-in-80s-keating-scandal-rears-its-head-in-2008-election/ Political Commentary Bubbling Up from the Nation's Capital Mon, 06 Feb 2012 19:58:07 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.2 By: Former Republican http://www.dcfountain.com/2008/10/06/mccains-involvement-in-80s-keating-scandal-rears-its-head-in-2008-election/#comment-13 Former Republican Wed, 08 Oct 2008 14:49:17 +0000 http://www.dcfountain.com/?p=640#comment-13 It's really interesting. Some are saying that Obama is stooping to the same level as McCain by releasing the video. There is no comparison between Ayers and the Keating-5. McCain was reprimanded by Congress for helping a crook (Keating) swindle customers and cause the collapse of banks (savings and loans). Sound familiar? It looks like McCain hasn't learned his lesson. As for Ayers, he served on two boards in the past with Obama and they haven't had any contact since he was elected to the Senate. They aren't friends. Republicans are trying to paint Obama as scary, but the reality is that 50-60 million people have seen him at odds with this caricature. McCain's attack strategy with Ayers, etc. in the last several days has backfired. They are simply out of ideas and they are running out of time! It’s really interesting.
