FBI raids Obama friend's home (http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2008/oct/03/fbi-raids-obama-friends-home/print/ - broken link)

What is this all about, another Obama buddy into trouble?

Dang does he have any friends who are not criminals?

"The FBI on Wednesday raided the county offices of a former Illinois state senator who is a poker-playing buddy of Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama."

Is that the best you can do? Are you that scared???

It is up to the GOP to run commercials pointing these things out . While Mccain talks issues.

GOP has not used Obama's friends and associates in commercials as they should but Obama camp has done a good job of doing it to Mccain.

Is Obama charged in the investigation? Did he have anything to do with the lobbying efforts? The article seems to be trying to connect two unconnected events. I don't support Obama and don't plan to vote for him, but this seems to be little more than a hit piece.

Funny to see the left proclaim that this is no big of a deal, but then point at the right because someones sons friends, parents, counsins, sister, got a DUI in 1974, and thats a tragedy that should be talked about non stop!!!

Default McCain's buddy goes to jail...

Charles Keating went to jail, and what was Johnny's dirty role in one of the most talked about Financial Scandals to rock the Senate? I am amazed that anyone would want him doing anything with the financial sector.

For those that don't remember... during the savings and loan scandal in the late 1980s, Charles Keating — a wealthy Arizona businessman and chairman of the failed Lincoln Savings and Loan Association looked to his friend John McCain for assistence as he was trying to stave off the government intervention. He was DIRECTLY involved in the last great FINANCIAL CRISIS that this country was in.

Keating found a champion for deregulation in McCain.

Why are we not outraged now during this financial crisis.

Do we really want a SLY OLD FOX watching the hen house?
