No.. I watched the video and posted itfor others to view and discuss.
But what is there I need to know.. The committee found poor judgement on the part of McCain and the fact that he still touts deregulation as a solution shows he didn't learn much.. atleast that's what it shows me.
But again.. I posted it for others to view and then post their comments.
I already know who my candidate of choice is and it's pretty rock solid with me at this point.
There doesn't need to be a question.. just a discussion about the video is all. I posted it for people to view and then discuss..
The video is technically very good, particularly for a streaming production.
Visuals are clear, and well composed, and the segues between scenes are very professional.
Sound quality is excellent.

Now.. why do you have to be a smart butt about it. You don't agree with the video.. state why.. and add something constructive to the thread or don't bother posting..
If she doesn't this will help her and other readers.
Charles Keating - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Some regulators noted the danger posed by these deregulations and pushed for more oversight, but Congress refused. This may be due, in part, to the Keating Five, five Senators — Dennis DeConcini, Alan Cranston, John Glenn, Don Riegle and John McCain — who had received, for both themselves and for groups they supported (and one of whoms wife, Cindy McCain, was a business partner of Keating), well over $1 million from Keating in the 1980s as favors and political contributions.[1] They later met twice with regulators who were investigating American Continental Corporation, in an attempt to end the investigation. (In 1991, they would be rebuked to various degrees by the Senate Ethics Committee.)[2]
In 1985, Keating hired Alan Greenspan as an economic consultant, in an unsuccessful effort to convince an oversight agency to exempt Lincoln Savings from certain regulations. Greenspan delivered a favorable report, writing that Lincoln Savings was “a financially strong institution that presents no foreseeable risk to depositors or the government.” (Greenspan produced similar favorable reports on numerous other banks that also failed soon after.) [3]
McCain Profile: The Keating Five
"You're a liar," McCain said when a Republic reporter asked him about the business relationship between his wife and Keating.
"That's the spouse's involvement, you idiot," McCain said later in the same conversation. "You do understand English, don't you?"
He also belittled reporters when they asked about his wife's ties to Keating.
