Barack Obama is pulling out the trump card of the Keating Five Scandal. This is last thing John McCain wants a bright light beamed on in the last weeks of this campaign. The deregulation mentality that played a critical role in the current financial meltdown is the same sort of ethical nightmare that John McCain got caught up in financial scandal that brought down 1,000 US banks. He hasn't learned. His solution this time around was to suggest even more deregulation.
McCain cannot "turn the page" on this. The American people will be able to understand how associations like the Arizona senator's with Charles Keating (unlike the feeble bogus Ayers nonsense being tossed at Obama) can and do affect their pocketbooks. (KeatingEconomics.com):
At this point, it's a very good idea. McCain has a history of erratic and untrustworthy behavior. He was involved with keating for the money. He now is surrounded almost entirely by lobbyists.
