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?

I think Biden should have brought that up.

Guilt by association-- the last desperate straw to grab.

It is always so shocking to me that ardent Obama supporters really have no clue about his political past.
Like our current president who is friends with the Bin Ladens and the Saudi Family?

How could anyone do better than that. The Bush's ties to the Saudi royal family and the Bin laden family is a heck of a lot scarier than someone playing poker with a politician who later gets in trouble. (or not.)

What I wonder about is the cozy little shot of Obama and his "card-playing buddy"....looks like they're about to lock lips. Not that there's anything wrong with that!

...and he is not even president yet. I am always amazed that anyone actually has ties to Obama. The media was unable to find friends or fellow students to interview from his undergrad days at Oxy and Columbia. Obama said he "was a hermit during those years" They did find his two Pakastani roommates, one of whom Obama spent time with in Pakistan, other than that...nothing.
