CNN

Hitting back a little too late isn't he. McCain wants to be elected to this country's top office-a feat that will require an expansive amount of knowledge and memory recall that will aid him in making tough decisions. Hello-he ain't got a clue how many houses he owns? Does anybody else but me see anything wrong with this picture. The media is spinning it--he's rich and out of touch with the common man and so is Obama--for me, him not knowing how many houses he owns since it isn't such a huge number shows me he is just simply OUT OF TOUCH. We don't need Alzheimer John McCain in the Whitehouse.

McPimp has a sweetheart real estate deal. He beat his wife up and broke her arm and now he has 7 homes or more than he can remember. McPimp for President.

Ship it Obama. Now all of America will know your two faces. What a fraudulent coward.

McWar spent his military years being beaten, tortured and spilling his guts about America. They pampered him compared to the other soldiers because of who his father was. He has no credibility on war. What is he going to teach everybody how to get captured? What a loser he is? Look Semper fi when they beat you turn to the side like this and it hurts less. That's his idea of winning a war. What a loser! And so many dumb people worship this guy. Usually when you are good at something you excel in that area. How is being a prisoner excelling? If that is the case our prisons have a lot of experts. I'd elect one of them before electing McBush II.

Obama first lied that he and Rezko had never talked about the house. He most recent story is that they saw the house together but he didn't know Rezko was going to buy the side yard. The story that the media has swallowed is that the owner wanted to sell the house and the fenced in side yard at the same time but making two seperate lots out of them. The fact is that isn't the way real estate is done and Rezko is the first owner ever of the lot. Meaning Obama had to know Rezko was buying the lot while he was buying the house. Rezko never does anything with the fenced in, accessable only to Obama lot for several years (while he is going bankrupt ) and then ultimately sells part of the lot to Obama, making the rest of the lot less valuable at a time he desperately needs money.

It Was A Very Simple Question, How Many Houses You Own!
And Bam!

"BUT the question must be asked, what did Obama's campaign do that would require a doffing off of the gloves"

Sorry, I'm over this. Already dealt with NEXT!

mccain dont know how many houses he has and the rep. party wants him to run are country. its like bush didnt know gas was going 4.00 a gal. they both down know anything about the real people in the u.s.a.

Don't you get it? We've already waded through this crap in the primaries.......
GO BACK to one of YOUR SEVEN HOMES McCain......

The Rezco story is old news. McWar is rich, old, out-of-touch and trigger-happy.

McCain has no honor. He cares more about winning an election than doing it with honesty. I'm not questioning his patriotism, but I am questioning his judgement. Shame on you, John McCain.

Mccain offers the nation a real path to energy independence that will create a new energy boom in this country will millions of jobs. All this while we secure our economy and military against a choke hold of middle eastern oil.

Obama prefers to count houses, play celebrity and push changes....as in changes of positions to align with the latest opinion poll results.

The choice is clear. If you want to gamble, vote Obama. If you want security, vote Mccain.

Hopefully the truth about McCain will come out. CNN talks a lot about Obama and Chicago politics, maybe you should do some research about McCain and Arizona politics.

I thought McCain wasn't going to run a dirty campaign? Well shows how much you can trust him.

Obama '08

McRichie Rich;

The Obama campaign issued a response to the ad from spokesman Tommy Vietor saying that a key player in The American Issues Project, Ed Failor Jr., is a paid McCain consultant.

"The fact that John McCain dispatched his paid consultant to launch this despicable ad from a so-called ‘independent’ committee shows how desperate he is to change the subject from his shocking disconnect with the economic struggles of the American people," said Vietor. "He knows that Barack Obama has denounced the detestable crimes that Bill Ayers committed forty years ago."

The Obama release points to an article from National Journal last year noting that Failor "signed on with 2008 White House hopeful John McCain this January," and links to an old McCain press release trumpeting the hire.

Obama's house deal makes him well qualified to be Mayor of Chicago in 1929.

KEATON 5. . . . . . . Remeber that?

OBAMA 08

That's right, Obamabots, you're supporting someone with DIRECT relations with a criminal and was involved with him in a property scam for his own million dollar house. Obama's as crooked a politician as they come.

McCain '08

Gene August 21st, 2008 8:34 pm ET

MILA:

You know NOTHING about the facts. This ad has already be PROVEN and VETTED to be a complete lie. Obama WAS able to afford that home, and he bought it at market price. He bought a small plot… 10 foot strip.. to expand his back yard a little bit.. which he ALSO bought at market price.

So before you go off spouting ignorance… learn the facts. It's people like you and McCain that make this country so disgusting to live in.

Actually Gene, the lots were being sold together. It was both or nothing. The Obamas could NOT afford the full asking price for both the house and the vacant lot. Lo and behold along comes Tony Rezko. Willing to buy the vacant lot. He then sells 1/6 of it to the Obamas. Can we see the bill of sale for the ten feet? Rendering HIS (Rezko's) lot useless. Who wants vacant property that nothing can be built on due to the size? Without Rezkos help Obama could not afford the house. Look it up.

So before you go off spouting ignorance… learn the facts. It's people like you and Obama that make this country so disgusting to live in.

McCain's "old age" is showing again....John, you have 7 houses...remember?

OBAMA in 2008!!!

It doesn't matter once the voters made up their mind they won’t see the different. Why don’t we all just sit back and wait until after November to see who will win? None of the two will let any of us move in to the White House with them so let them fight each other for their spot. Just a suggestion to save your time and energy to go to work so you can support your family. I know I will good night I need some rest to go to work tomorrow so I can by some expensive gas and some foods for my family.

Good. What goes around comes around.

Has McCain and his advisors forgotten about John's dealings with Keating? How soon we forget.

We already know about Rezko and Obama was not involved in his illegal dealings but we do need more about "Keating 5"

Oh, I see. When Obama's camp tries to tie McCain to some scandal, it's "that away Obama." But, when McCain does the same thing it's a dirty lie. You liberals are pathetic. Grow up.

Yawn....

Same old tactics. At least Obama's hits are based on the issues and facts.

The Rezko connection is just the tip of the iceberg. Obama's ambition stops at nothing. He's a fast-talking nobody with hateful supporters. I will not be voting for him!

sounds like the Obama folks are getting nervous...

obama should be ahead by miles but his slowy sinking

gloop gloop gloop

Touche!

Well this is nothing compared to the Ayers add that I saw on Fox. Obama, his campaign and Kaine opened up a can of worms now and all Obama's skeletons will come home to roost again.

Based on the comments I've read on this blog the polls are about to change quickly! Americans have not been sleeping they're wide awake. And looks like McCain will be enjoying his Comfy Chair and taking a long vacation sooner than I thought! Hip Hip Horray! Don't let the door hit you in the behind on your way out John! Surprise Americans are too savy to the Repugnicants less than honourable tactics used to win at any cost... CYA John .... Enjoy your easy millions
in one of your ? who knows how many probably tax free mansions and best of luck to you. No More Lies, Wars and Tax Cuts for the Big Guys Obama 08 !

For those that support McCain you and your children better be the first in line to join the military.

single homeowner August 21st, 2008 7:00 pm ET

Too bad Obama was cleared of any connection to Rezko's illegal activities, including the Chicago Tribune, who aren't Obama-friendly saying he did nothing wrong.

try again senator McCan'trememberwhomanyhousesheowns

1 The Tribune is in the tank for Obama. I bet you have never picked up a copy of the Trib in your entire life. Google Chicago Tribune endorses Barack Obama for president.

2 How exactly was Obama cleared of anything in the Rezko trial? It was the people vs Tony Rezko. Obama was mentioned but not on trial. Without being on trial you can not be "cleared" of anything. Or did they just start handing out judgements on everyone involved? If they can tie Obama or Gov Blago to this in any way. They will. One trial at a time. This was the first of MAYBE many trials.

If you want to support Obama, it's cool. However don't just start making stuff up. If you have no clue what you are talking about. Don't talk.

Again Obama makes a fool of himself!! What a fake he is, so what ??? what the big deal people ?? Mr. McCain can have as many homes and properties he wants! That's called a hard working man folks!! If that's his American dream then God Bless him!! Maybe all you good for nothing tug's will stop selling the drugs and get a job!!! McCain worked for his home people and Obama gave favor's and took money for a felon Mr. Rezko in jail. If you people let this slug Obama Trick you out of your vote that your problem, were all voting for McCain all the way. Thank-God for McCain and i hope someday i can work hard and own my home too.

Obama will haunt your dreams McLoser. He hits you with the out of touch not only to Americans but to your own portfolio and all you can do is throw some six degrees of separation nonsense. I knew you were a tool as far back as the 90's.

Obama should have had enough sense to keep his whinning, school boy attitude to himself. Owning a million + dollar home does not make you better able to relate to those that are facing foreclosure, even if it's only one home. What Obama is not saying is that his home deal was accessed with the aid of a convicted felon, one who took at least 14 million dollars of tax payers money that Obama helped him get through his Senate office. In other words, Obama wrote letters, etc. to screw the tax payers out of all this money and we are the ones who have to pay. it will be a cold day in h- before I will vote for obama.

Americans are realy sickening... This ad is based on a bold-faced lie and has been previously cleared already! Why do you get attention distracted with this kind of foolishness and don´t concentrate on the issues? Should you elect this inmoral old man, then you got and will have what you really deserve...

OBAMA , IS ON GUARD BECAUSE THE PRESENT SITUATION MIGHT GO TO THE HANDS OF THE F.B.I. TURNIG IT DIFFICULT AND DANGEROUS AND EXPLOSIVE EVIDENCE TO PROOF MORE WRONG DOINGS./////

Mila

I would suggest you get your facts straight. Obama purchased his home with his own money and legally.

As for your precious candidate, in his own book he states that the reason he decided to run was purely ambition and not to reform anything. He was 62 an figured this was the only time to claim the prize, so please explain to me where in any of that you see someone who really cares about YOU.

wake up people, don't you see that this country is going down? make a smart decision in November, and don't doom us all.

hahaha...obama threw the first rock....he better duck.......he should learn to think more before he opens a can of worms......by the way...kerry s wife is richer than mccain s and no one seemed to care 4 years ago....so why are the dems making an issue of it now....iand i do think, ,,,gore, clinton, kerry and edward and obama are all rich richer and richest.....

Oh geesh – how juvenile so many of these blogs are. The same people cheering and clapping for the Obama campaign for airing an ad about how many houses McCain has (which has nothing to do with any of the issues) are now complaining about McCain returning the favor. Boohoo....cry me a river.....Obama is dirtier than McCain and it is about time Obama's crooked past gets a little coverage.

It is a shame that McCain camp is using this as their message. Those of you who are so bitter to vote against Obama, if you like vote for McCain, you will have yourselves to blame for voting the last administration back to power. Senator Obama will still have a decent living with his wife and children. You all against Obama will be the losers for not voting for Obama.

You can bet your last dollar that there was something shady about the deal that Obama made on his house the property next to his.

I would not put anything past Obama and his shady past with Rezko and his pastor Wright.

The only way that he will get my vote is if he puts Hillary Clinton on the ticket as his VP, and better yet, the delegates should see that Obama cannot win against McCain and if they want to win back the White House, they ALL need to vote for Hillary Clinton and make her the nominee instead of Obama.

OBSERVING----–PLEASE OBSERVE FACTS----

BEFORE POSTING----–YOU SOUND-----LIKE A--–

STUPID IGNORAMUS

I don't see what the big deal is

If my friend money and I was like "hey dude I need a favor can you help me buy this house" and he said yes so what

just because rezko sold it back to obama for cheaper doesn't matter the original dude selling the house got all of his money so no one cares

LET ME SEE I GET HICHED BEFORE I DIVORCE MY FIRST WIFE. I LEAVE MY FIRST WIFE AND HAVE AN AFFAIR WITH THE STEPFORD WIFE AND LIE ABOUT THAT. NOW I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY HOUSES I HAVE. SHE LIES ABOUT THE COOK BOOK, I LIE ABOUT THE CROSS STORY. OK.OK,OK, I'M BUSTED, BUT I STILL WANT TO BE P.O.T.U.S.

This won't get printed because CNN is in the tank with Barack Hussein Obama (oohhh..I can't say his middle name? How about Hillary Rodham Clinton?) I am a Democrat but I will definitely not vote for a man who's "just words." No substance,fear monger and a toy buy of Nancy Pelosi,Harry Reid.

You're weak man, real weak. Give me some substance for once!

FOR THE PEOPLE NOT OLD ENOUGH TO KNOW MCCAIN'S PAST STAY TUNED THIS IS GOING TO GET NASTY. TRUST ME.

OBAMA......08

The Republicans and racist Democrats waited too long. This is old news. It would be like bringing Rev. Wright up again. Who doesnt already know about this?

What Obama needs to do at this point is remind people of the Keating Five and Jack Abramoff.

Hey CNN – ask Nat. Enq. to investigate – How about Cindy stealing drugs and WAS CONVICTED but kept out of PRISON because she was married to a senator that her mafia-related daddy helped get a start in AZ politics?

Where's that CNN??????

McCain's foreign policy: Joke about bombings (which kill civilians including women and children); threaten to bomb anybody who doesn't look exactly like us; and then smile. The man is bizarre, reckless, and extremely dangerous to our long-term future. Think for yourselves and aim higher.

COME ON CNN....WHAT ELSE DO YOU HAVE? YOU KEEP TRYING TO BRING UP OLD NEWS. MSNBC DOESN'T DO THIS. PLUS, THE FEDS ALREADY INVESTIGATED THIS AND THEY SAID OBAMA HAD WAS CLEARED OF ANY WRONGDOINGS. HE NEVER ACCEPTED OR GIVEN CASH TO THIS MAN. AND CNN......YOU KNOW IF THERE WERE THE SMALLEST EVIDENCE OF ANY WRONG-DOINGS ON OBAMA'S PART IT WOULD HAVE BEEN ALL OVER THE AIRWAVES. CNN...YOU ALL ARE NOTHING BUT A BUNCH OF MCSAME FLUNKIES! GROW UP ALREADY....PEOPLE ARE AWARE OF WHAT YOU ARE TRYING TO DO. THE KEY WORD BEING "TRYING".

Bill Ayers an admitted and unrepeant terrorist and Obama are good friends. Ayers stated on 9/11/01 that he should have done more acts of terror while Obama sat on a board with him and allow Ayers to raise money for him. This is even worse than Rezko.

Whenever Senator Obama hits McCain hard, McCain's temper flares up. This is McCain's reaction to having a miserable week. He melts down, can't stand on his own record and has to make up lies about his opponent to ease his anger. McCain's life is riddled with things he'd rather forget about, like Keating 5, making propaganda films for the North Vietnamese, signing statements against the United States, which is an act of treason, and a myriad of other failures. McCain wears $500 Italian loafers, can't remember just how many houses he owns, doesn't understand the economy and calls Obama an elitist.

JWC, the tire thing from Obama has been discussed to death; but since you are hearing and intelectually impaired; I'll explain it again. He answered a question about how to conserve fuel with a simple short explanation. Keep your tire pressure up to suggested standards. We've been hearing that since drivers ed back in the 60's (or maybe earlier). It wasn't his energy plan although McCain probably thought it was since he's still operating on 64K memory. At any rate; it was a good suggestion and every one should check their tire pressure. Now, find something legimate to complain about or stop writing.

Obama '08

Obama's racist and marxist thoughts, in his book!

Educate yourself b4 you vote!

If McCain says he doesn't know how many houses he owns, he is either a lair or he is senile. Either way disqualifies from being President.

All I have to say is

KEATING 5 KEATING 5 KEATING 5 KEATING 5 KEATING 5 KEATING 5
KEATING 5 KEATING 5 KEATING 5 KEATING 5 KEATING 5 KEATING 5
KEATING 5 KEATING 5 KEATING 5 KEATING 5 KEATING 5 KEATING 5
KEATING 5 KEATING 5 KEATING 5 KEATING 5 KEATING 5 KEATING 5
KEATING 5 KEATING 5 KEATING 5 KEATING 5 KEATING 5 KEATING 5
KEATING 5 KEATING 5 KEATING 5 KEATING 5 KEATING 5 KEATING 5

Obama has really drawn blood with this one..... what a desperate response from the McBush camp.
Obama's not one who's worth 100 million dollars or owns 10 homes, flies in 12.6 million dollar jets or wears $520 Italian Ferregamo loafers.
And if the GOPigs want to go there.... can you say "Keating 5????"

Only people that are so tied up in Republican baloney would vote for McWar .
What is his record of accomplishment in 25 years sure nothing to write home about all we hear is
surge
war
cheating,
lies ,
10 homes he owns"has forgotten how many own"
Millions of $'sssssss
His speeches are hallow,
He repeats the same thing ,
has no memory,
Dreams ,thinks speaks War war war
draft,draft draft
what we know is he lies,spends his time running low road personal attacks,misspeaks continually ,has to have elbow puppets
Has to take naps and depends on depends .

I love it!
First Obama says enough with the negative ads, let's focus on the issues.
Now, he supermagnifies an innocent comment from McCain?
Give me a break!
Obama is a liar and loser. McCain and whoever he chooses will trounce him in November!

McCain '08

Correct me if I am wrong, but wasn't McCain on of the "Keating 5"? A select group of 5 senators who did favors for Charles Keating, a convicted felon?

McCain I hate to be the one to tell you this but Hillary already tried this stunt and it did not work.

WOW, when McCain says he's the original maverick he means it. To not know how many homes you own, now that's original.

Obama did nothing wrong and he has being convicted of nothing,Now is time for american people to wake up,Mccain is a disgrace to this country he can not and he will never be our president how rich are you for you not to no how many houses you have stupid old man you out of touch

mccain doesn't know how many homes they own because HIS name is not on the deeds. he does NOT own them, his wife does. she, her dependent children, their trust funds, and corporations actually own them. they are investment properties or are for the use of her family. get over it. at least she got them legally and without convicted felons helping her along under the table.

Rezko, Rezko, Rezko... I'll take Rezko over Abramoff and Keating anyday. Abramoff and Keating are the real criminals.

McCain and Chuck Keating were BEST FRIENDS... McCain went on vacation with him and everything!! (staying with Keating and he footed the bill for the vacation too!!) McCain NEVER disclosed this and was caught several years later on it, only then fessing up to it.

John McCain is up to his armpits in lobbyists... he's just another part of the Republican Culture of Corruption!!! WAKE UP, AMERICA!!!

How many brothers and sisters dose obama's family have?
how many brothers and sisters who in Africa or Asia does Obama
have?

Typical conservative GOP fare. When you have nothing new or original to offer and can only run on the failed policies of your predecessor, you attack your opponent in such a way as to cast doubt on his character or ability to lead. McCain is so out of touch with the ordinary American, he just doesn't see that we are fed up with personal attacks and negative Rove-style campaigning. That's why McCain will get his butt deservedly blistered on election day!

what a choise
one who cheated on his wife 30 years ago and
one who consorts with convicted felons on real-estate deals

are we lucky pick one go ahead dare you

Maybe Obama would care to explain his house purchase price and the sweetheart of a loan deal he managed to get and what he had to do to get it. Maybe the Chicago "guys" came through?

explain to me how a litigation lawyer and his wife who is also a lawyer can get themselves caught up in a real estate deal to the extent they have to have someone bail them out. and these same people want to occupy the white house.if they can't even read the small print that said both properties had to close on the same day, how can we trust that judgment when it comes to our welfare

Senator McCain, please explain how somebody who ranked 894 out of 899 midshipmen qualified for flight school ahead of dozens of more qualified candidates.

McCain is getting a little.........TESTY!

LOL
You Obamabots are too funny. You get so worked up into a tizzy. McCain is doing exactly the same thing that your god is.

I have decided that a large number of you people leaving comments on the blog have no idea whats what – you listen and watch fox news and believe whatever they say.

I agree – is this all McCain can come up with – We the people have already read and heard about Rezko – and have already learned that it amounted to nothing.

Also McCain is very wealthy and cannot pay the property taxes on several of his homes. At least Obama pays his bills -(Student Loans have been paid in full. That speaks volumes for me.

Go get him John! Barak is such a hypocrite! The Democrat leadership is running their campaign just like they run congress. They are implying that they are better when they clearly are not.

All the ignoramus Obamabots are out in droves in these comments. Good thing they only make up a very small part of the actual electorate, we'd all be in big trouble. Mostly young, ignorant Obama supporters on these blogs and they're well known for blowing off their mouths but history has shown that when it's time to leave the party and actually vote they're too busy drinkin' beer and shooting off their mouths. All the rock the vote campaigns by MTV have produced zilch in actual young voter turnout. It's obvious all you have to do to get their support is to go out a holler 'Change" in an inspirational way and they'll follow you over the cliff like the lemmings they are. I'm a liberal independent and the more I read of their nasty slimeball comments the more I am sure to vote for comeone of substance ...John McCain

I hear Obama must get mad if he wants to win. How in the world can this man function in the White House if he has to get mad to win? This is the most stupid thing I have ever heard. We have other people working in the White House besides the President, I do no think they woul want to work around some that must get mad to be a winner. What a loser. I think Obama has more sense than that any way.

mcains doin payback, but not warrented,,,,, he really needs new staff,,,,,,if mccain cant remember,, well, then doesnt that tell americans what he's like??????,,lol sure tells me,,,, my votes for obama,,,,,,,,mccian halloween isnt til oct,, silly boy,,

Deception, misdirection and propaganda that is the Republican way. They have nothing so they make up something. Senator Obama needs to kick hitting Senator McCain and keep hitting hard. In this game second place gets you nothing.

LOL ... all you Democrats ... "McCain is McSenile" ... too old .... LOL ... what has gotten real old and tired in a hurry is Obama. Rezko .. Ayers .. Wright ... polls got you Dems panicking .. have to call McCain more names ....... LOL !

YES! The Rezko connection is a major blight in Obama's record. Obama and Rezko go WAY BACK in Obama's political career. Rezko contributed to EVERY Obama IL campaign since DAY ONE! Obama manipulated Ilinois legislation to benefit Rezko's slum lord programs, all of which failed and cost Chicago MILLIONS of dollars. Then Rezko gave Michelle and Obama a favorable deal on their million-dollar home. There's no disputing that, no matter how hard you try. The record is very clear on that!

WE NEED TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THAT, AND OBAMA BETTER 'FESS UP!!

this is a joke Obama gave back all the money and distanced himself from rezko. McCain has his own "Tony Rezko" Charles Keating

Two words: KEATING FIVE

And also...define rich...out of touch elitist.

This is such a slly thing. Let;s get to the important items.

Obama Air Heads !!!!! Corupt Politicians Take tax Payers Money For Thier Corupt Circle of Freinds , So They ( Obama ) Can Get Their Home For $ 300,000 Under Market Value , And Have thay Corupt Freind Donate Hundreds Of Thousands To Your ( Obama's ) Campaigns .Corupt Politicians Like Obama Takes Tax Payers Money For Their Wife's Company , And In Return Obama 's Wife Gets A 250,000 Pay Raise . And That Company Donates To Obama's Campaigns .

Keating Five, McCain. McCain is worse than Obama ever was. McCain is a fraud.

This has been debunked nine ways to Sunday. The Republicans have nothing to offer on why McCain does not know how many houses he owns or why he want's to bring back the draft. this is always their strategy – throw out nonsense nad get the spotlight off of McLame. To bad the MSM falls for it every time.

Why not make an ad on him being an adulterer and the Keating 5 and supporting Bush 85% of the time..... oh wait that is McCain!

Typical of McCain; Obama was cleared of any dealings with Mr. Rezko. McCain is the one with the housing problem. I can't imagine not knowing how many houses I own.

Obama '08

hey pumas did bill clinton having truble picking out his vp eight years ago

let me help you john mc cain......o bama friendS are....donald young....alexi giannoulias george soros.... huffington... and KOS.....OPRAH......AND ALL THE OTHER ILLEGAL CONTRIBUTIONS HE has managed to acquire from non AMERICANS VIA THE INTERNET

finally! let obama answer for his shady connections. rezko, and the link obama has to auchi, the iraqi businessman with connections to saddam hussein. bill ayers the domestic terrorist who bombed the pentagon, (among other buildings) and obama's relationship goes way back to the 1980's. can't wait till mccain does a commercial about that "friendly" relationship!

i thougt forien policy was issue number one

All right, Johnny boy, let's talk about your relationship with a fellow named Charles Keating and the savings and loan debacle you helped bring about.

obama helped Rezko buy many homes with taxpayers money . this was done to help house the people in his area while a community organiser. these buildings have been mostly condemned and those that are not are in such disrepair that they soon will be Rezko grabbed the upfront money and ran leaving others to worry about the fallout. that all happened and obama was well aware of it before obama went to him for help.

JEEZZZZ

this guy just doesn't know how to control himself

IF YOU ARE NOT FROM CHICAGO YOU WILL NOT

UNDERSTAND HOW MUCH OF A NON – ISSUE THIS IS !!

CHICAGO DID A FULL INVESTIGATION

(AND SO DID THE MEDIA)

AND THEY FOUND THAT OBAMA DID NOTHING

WRONG, ILLEGAL, OR UNETHICAL !!!!!

Keating 5, Mr McCain what did that cost? Some of us remember. The rest of you should google it.

As for Reszko, if Obama had done something illegal, it would have come out in court because they sure tried hard enough to find some dirt.

So....someone helped Obama buy his ONE house???!!!??? Is that what I am supposed to take away from this ad? McCain...have you figured out how many houseS you and Cindy own yet? Rezco is dead...Obama was never found guilty of any wrong doing. Lets start dragging out all the scum McCain and the Clintons are tied too in some form or fashion. Why is it never mentioned that McCain was part of the Keating Five...does anyone remember thatt liitle bit of criminal activity. Go home old man...you have plenty of them to choose from!!!!

obama did nothing wrong so get over it.

I am glad that McCain hit him back where it hurts. Obama did an underhanded deal with a convicted felon. He should be ashamed of himself. I think there is more to find out about Obama that will really show us who he truly is as a person. He does things that if another politician (white) did, they would be called in for it. The media is letting him get away with dishonest things but I suppose they are afraid to make too much of it becuse he is black and they will be called racist. That's the easiest excuse to use seeing that it makes all you white folks back off because you don't want to be called racist. Let all all his dirty laundry come out. I wonder what else is there lurking to be revealed.

The Rezko thing? It was already proven that Obama did nothing wrong? Obama didn"t do anything wrong? Why Didn’t McCain Call Ralph Reed To Testify During Abramoff Investigation?

let the fun begin...

Both sides are kind of making me sick. McCain's side is making me the sickest as he started it. Can we talk about the issues now?

I don't care how many houses or how much money the next president has. My vote is going to McCain after watching the debate last weekend. McCain seems like a straite up guy.

Granpa and Barbie, that's funny!

BSERVERING August 21st, 2008 6:58 pm ET

Stop the stupid text spacing!

what as obama accomplished he quit as a community organizer because he was frustrated. woe is me, he quit his ill gotten state senate seat before accomplishing anything, he no sooner got his again suspicious federal seat that he decided to run for the presidency. which tells us that he cannot fulfill his obligations to the people who elect or employ him and you want him for president

How about we just air all of the dirty laundry NOW so we can get it all out of the way so that we can focus on what actually matters?

Everyone in Washington has their skeletons in the closet, so playing with fire for either candidate is likely to get collateral damage.

I don't see how Rezko or Keating Five or Abramoff or any other skeleton in the closet lowers my gas and food prices or solves any foreign policy issues.

Good ad, Way to turn the tide without hitting low. This is the change I can beleieve in.

I'm more worried about Obama's shady deal for his one house than McCain's 4 houses. At least McCain didn't deal with a convicted felon for his purchases. Why is it you Dems keep bringing up the Keating 5, in which McCain was completed cleared but 3 Democrats were found guilty; yet you say Rezko is old news? The fact is Obama could not have bought his million dollar house without Rezco's help.

Let's talk about Keating Five .. dirty money ? That is McCain all the way !

Wow..... McCain throws this out to us when he can't even remember HOW MANY houses he owns. Secondly, I think Abramoff and the Keating Five are a whole lot worse than Rezko. Better watch which stones you throw, McCain–those stones could coming rolling back as boulders toward your credibility!

Mccains ad dont border on slander.
They are slander because that the kind of person he is all he do is
talk down to people and turn up his nose he is the elitist he and the
rest of the republicans all the same.;
All they do is accuse with out proof.
Mccain not fit to be president.

Keating 5 "my friends"

McCain has more experience, which means more skeletons and more time to get his hands dirty. Watch out!

Shortly, the POW card is not going to work anymore. It's starting to get old. It was 30 years ago, my godness. Why is he talking about vietnam, when we are fighting TWO unnecessary wars, not in the PRESENT!

McCain is clearly out of touch.

Oh, and John McCain, I have two wonderful sons 20 and 11 and two daughters 22 and 19. And a granddaughter who is 1.

I'm sorry you can't have them for your DRAFT!!!!

How did Mcbush afford seven houses as a senator????????????

check out tony rezko on the net. check how far back he and obama go. cnn won't let a lot of things that are fact be printed so you have to do it yourself find out where tony rezko was born and raised and his connections in that country. obama supporters you have as much right to support obama as McCain' people have in supporting him but people should know the facts about their candidates whoever they are and CNN should not prevent facts that are and in many cases been aired on their and other networks.

McCain, like all Republicans, has to lie to win. Ask McCain about his role in the Keating investigation which earned him a Congressional censure. The straight talk express is stuck in the mud–McCain will do and say anything to get elected.

Frankly I do not care for either candidate. Hopefully the next time we get to elect it will be a hard choice because they will both be good. I am so concerned about the welfare of our country. It will take years to get back in shape. Ronald Reagan was the best President this country ever had. Where is Ross Perot ? Certainly wish that someone would listen to his suggestions as he is an intelligent man and could get this country back on the right track. Hope Ross Perot can help and SOON.

Why is the choice so difficult if Barack wants The White house the obvious answer is Senator Hillary Clinton or all is lost for him

Wow CNN, you have two nearly-identical posts on this "story" up.

Whatsamatter, you scared Obama's Abramoff charge is gonna stick to your boy McCain? You gotta get shrill and post as much lie-filled articles as you can find to try and save John?

Why does Senator McCain's campaign always exagerate, lie and attack in its ads? Rezko most definitely did not receive $14 million from taxpayers, this money was for an apartment development for seniors which was built and is now open. Was it the most effective use of taxpayer dollars? I don't know, was the war in Iraq?

Perhaps it is time for the Keating 5 stuff and the fact that the McCain's haven't paid taxes on their San Diego condo in four years.

The Obama camp probably won't run those kinds of ads as they are far too dignified and respectable. But I'm sure MoveOn will.

Scott L, funny you might ask. There has been coverage of several tire companies and repair shops reporting a noticeable increase of customers inquiring about their tire pressure.

Actually, many people feel the Republican Party is lost (including me as a former Republican). Bush/Cheney/McCain shamed the party with their misguided diversions in Iraq.

Hey, CNN....where is the blub you like to add in the last paragraph against Obama that goes something like this....

"However, this ad could be a problem for McCain because..........."

How about I help you out with it... "However, this ad could be a problem for McCain because no wrong doing has been found on Obama's part. AND McCain is really, really, really, really, really OLD so how could he remember how many houses he has OR how to run a country?"

Why, oh why, did much of the national media – CNN, NBC/MSNBC, ABC, NY Times, Washington Post, LA Times, etc. – never thoroughly investigate in depth, or certainly never linger, on the political-financial entanglements of Resko and the Obamas? Any VP candidate the Obama campaign vets would probably be disqualified by this dubious business connection.

$3.6 BILLION DOLLARS IS WHAT JOHN MCCAIN AKA KEATING 5 STOLE FROM INVESTORS, NOT A HOUSE IN CHICAGO. YES, $3.6 BILLION DOLLARS THAT THE FEDS USED OF YOUR TAX PAYING DOLLARS TO BAIL OUT INVESTORS WHOSE LIFE SAVINGS WERE LOST. AND DON'T LEAVE CINDY OUT SHE WAS ALSO INVOLVED AND CLAIMS THAT ALSO CONTRIBUTED TO HER DRUG ADDITION WHEN SHOULD COULD HAVE DRANK MORE BEER INSTEAD OF STEALING DRUGS. FACT.

McCain says he was not questioning Obama's patriotism but his judgment....i think McCain is again confused...
lets see...Obama says he would talk with Iran, after all of the criticism Bush...talks to Iran.
Obama calls for a time table of withdrawal...McCain criticizes...today Rice negotiates a timetable of with drawl...
the only one in the GOP following judgment is John Mccain...he followed the Oil Companies judgment to drill off shore.

WHATS IT ANYBOY'S BUSINESS HOW MANY HOUSES MCCAIN HAS ANYWAYS. THESE STUPID ISSUES HAVE NOTHING ABOUT BEING EXPERIENCED RUNNING OUR COUNTRY. O.B. IS UNEXPERIECED AND SO HUNG UP ON HIMSELF. YOU YOUNG MORONS PRAISE HIM AS IF HE IS THE SECOND COMMING. YOU YOUNG PEOPLE ACT SO CHILDLISH SLAMMING THE CLINTONS AND COLORING THE PICTURE OF OBAMA THE WAY HE TELLS YOU.I NEVER THAUGHT AMERICA HAD SO MANY NAIVE YOUNG PEOPLE.NO HRC NO OBAMA. WE DONT NEED A SCHOOL BOY TRYING TO PLAY PRESIDENT. AMERICA GHETS WHAT THEY ASK FOR.

This is not about 1, "more than 4" or 20 houses.

IT'S ABOUT TELLING LIES ! ! ! ! Don't you get it??????

If McSAME doesn't know how many houses he has he can't run AMERICA!

If he *does* know . . . he lies like the rest of the G.O.P.

Throw the bums out of the White House and give it back to the real people of America who live in ONE House (and know it).

um HILLARYOUS um

CNN please posts some of Obama's racist remarks from his books.

The citizens of the U.S. needs to hear them before they vote in November!

I am happy to see Barack fighting back. McCain is a liar and a coward. I will not think less of Obama for defending himself against these "swift boat" attacks. McCain will slime to any low and any lie to try to get into the WH.
Well, Cindy Lou does nor belong there. No chippies in my WH.

MCCAIN SUFFERS FROM PTSD

So the McCain "Campaign" is at it again. Ever notice John never says anything? Well, not anything right! It is always his "Campaign" that has to explain what he didn't say. For 7 years we've had government by PR Campaign, that should be "experience" enough!

Again Mcwar declaring war against Sen. Obama without enough intelligence!

Rezko and Obama, both more crooked than a fork in the road!

Bring it on war mongers neocons we are ready, how about the keating 5? McCain started it and we are going to end it by not putting McCain in the White House NO MORE NEOCONS...

MILA:

You know NOTHING about the facts. This ad has already be PROVEN and VETTED to be a complete lie. Obama WAS able to afford that home, and he bought it at market price. He bought a small plot... 10 foot strip.. to expand his back yard a little bit.. which he ALSO bought at market price.

So before you go off spouting ignorance... learn the facts. It's people like you and McCain that make this country so disgusting to live in.

Does Big Mac even have a vision for the country? Johnny, get yourself out of the gutter and act like a leader. You are about as inspiring as dog poop.

The Rezko story is old news and has already been run over and over. McCain 8 houses is a NEW story people didn't know about.

It's about time someone brought up this issue in the ligt of the mainstream media! Barack Hussein Obama can no longer hide! The truth is coming out! Hopefully the DNC will see it in time to change their nominee!

Amen, Rob! The fear tactics won't work this time, there is too much at stake.
Obama 08

Come on CNN!!! Why are you reporting on this when Sen. McCain was just recently asked if there was a way we could chase Bin Laden with out the draft, and McCain says that he agrees with the woman!
If Barack Obama had said that, he would have been blasted by the national news media. Someone get tough on McCain and hold him responsible for what he says!

McCain wants the draft!!!

I want OBAMA 08

The only reason McCON can have his 8 homes is because he cheated on his ex-wife (who was his best friends ex-wife) with Cindy, married Cindy who inherited a fortune from her daddy's beer distirbution business which was a criminal activity and Cindy's daddy was indicted at least 2 time for fraud and illegal activities. Why doesn't anybody report that?

I just heard the Republican analyst call Cindy McCain a "hot chick". Did anyone else hear that? It is on now with Campbell Brown on "election center" 7:15 or so central standard time. This guy is trying to defend McCain saying he is married to a "hot chick"????? What century is this? I wonder how his previous wife feels hearing his present wife referred to as a "hot chick"?????

TO : SCOTT L. about the draft yesterday your man McCain said that he was for reinstating the draft. If you wish you can see it online. You won't see it on CNN or Fox but you can hear it for yourself. And about this new McShame Ad he knows that Obama did not get help in buying his home that he bought part of a lot next to his home from rezko . After a investigation it showed that Obama did nothing wrong. Now John McCain , Cheated on his wife and had a affair with the new Mrs. McCain... she had more money and was not scared from injuries, lied to congress 2002 flip flop on 21 issues said that he voted 95% the same a Bush, said in Mar. 2008 that Bush has done a good job and the counrty is better off in some ways. Gof help us if he wins,

NOT THIS TIME!!

McCain's ads are LIES, and that speaks volumes!
Obama was cleared of any wrong doing with Rezco.
McCain's banking on the average Joe believing this crap!

894th out of 899 students, God please not another C- student in charge.

(As opposed to the Editor of The Harvard Law Review. Harvard don't take C students. If your daddy and grand daddy are admirals, you get to go to Annapolis. [894 out of 899] Even if you're not qualified.)

When you loose 4 planes due to pilot error, they shouldn't let you fly a country.

Interesting. CNN never fails to include the McSame's predictable response to all Obama ads (ie "I know you are, but what am I?") Yet, when McSame runs a totally dishonest discredited ad, they don't even provide the Obama campaign's response. My son is right. CNN in some ways is worse than Foxnoise bc. they PRETEND to be unbiased. Everyone knows Fox is a right-wing shill operation!

@Scott L
And McCaine has committed Adultery to, so what is your point.
If you don't want to check your tires that's fine, spen more money than you have to, I'm sure you are well off enough.
McCain by the way leads all congress people in being absent from Congress,
He Chaired several commitees and yet, name one piece of legislature he has initiated?
Judgement..we can trust my @55..We had the Taliban/Al-qa-ida/ Osama Bin Laden on the ropes and diverted our forces to Iraq and let them off the hook..for What!!!
He said he would chase Bin Laden to the Gates of Hell, but I guess not to the Hills of Pakistan....

Interesting –When the Repubs response to a negative ad by Obama –
They get so pissy–
Both are putting out questionable ads–
But learn one thing–
If you can't stand a little heat during an Election –how is he going to handle the PRESIDENCY–

One item that says it all-
When asked " When does life begin ?
Obamas answer " It's above my pay grade"
Let me tell you Mr. Obama–So is the Presidency-
No way he wins-
This will be a landslide for McCain–

Since your people brought that up...how much $ and free vacations did felon Charles Keating give you? That ended up costing BILLIONS in taxpayer money to bail-out and Rezko cost taxpayers nothing.

If we are going to bring up old news in ads then Senator Obama can do one that asks if Senator McCain has admitted a mistake since writing in 2002 that attending the two April 1987 meetings with Edwin Gray of the Federal Home Loan Bank Board and others senators, known as the Keating 5, was "the worst mistake of my life."

The negativity of McCain's campaign is a total flip-flop from his pledge for a positive campaign and deserves intense media scrutiny.

LET THE GAMES BEGIN...

MCCAIN IS A VINDICTIVE EVIL WARMONGER....
HOW LOW WILL YOU GO YOU OLD GOAT

YOU TRY SO HARD TO SMEAR DIRT ON OBAMA....BUT THE TABLES WILL TURN ON YOU AND ALL YOUR GARBAGE WILL BE REVEALED....

If osama had any experience he could have bagged two houses from rezko.

What a weak and stinking argument by McCain! To forget how much property you own really sucks for someone who makes the claim he is right for America! I initially thought he was just having the cognitive decline that affects all of us past fifty, but now it is looking more like a kind of dementia.

LOL

Keating Five Keating Five Keating Five Keating Five Keating Five Keating Five Keating Five Keating Five Keating Five Keating Five Keating Five Keating Five Keating Five Keating Five Keating Five Keating Five Keating Five Keating Five Keating Five

Keep fighting back over Obama's pathetic attacks. Obama's the one who's got so many connections with radicals and convicted felons.
Go McCain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

uhmm... the Rezko thing is a NON-ISSUE! there really isn't that much to it. Look up the Clinton's records!

McCain is the richest of the 2 candidates running, or did everyone in the media forget that.

Obama only needs to respond with two words. Keaton 5

McCain needs to talk about how Chicago politics got Obama in office in Illinois. Obama threw a lot of people under the bus, in that state.

Obama respectfully donated those funds to charity. I commend him for that decision.

How many mansions does McCain have? Oh that's right; he could not remember, no matter how large an investment houses are. I guess that's not surprising when $5 million yearly income is McCain's elitist base level for wealthy.

Obama '08

Yo CNN...Where's the BEEF on McSames 7 Houses, private Jet, Million dollar parking lot, beach front properties, 500 dollar shoes..etc

Remember your slogan..NO BIAS, NO BULL..I see the Bull here.!!!!!

Go ahead, dare you to publish this...Dare you!!!!!

Obama should have known this was coming.

Harry Reed is a slim. So is obama

Is this the best McCain can do on Obama?

A single housing deal costing him $300,000 of his own money?

Too bad the Keating 5 scandal blows this away.

Question: What was the Keating 5 scandal cost TO TAXPAYERS for federal regulators following McCain's advice and not cracking down on Keating's failing Lincoln Savings and Loan?

Answer: $3.4 BILLION.

Try harder next time McCain – a LOT harder!

Looks like Obambi took Carvelle's advice to start smearing. Too bad Obambi has much more to attack. The gloves are off, and Obambi shows he is just another politician. No, I take that back he is a lier (ie: campaign reform, his vote for denying medical attention for a botched abortion that resulted in a live birth in Illinois). We are glad to talk about character (ie: Rev Wright,William Ayers). But let's get back to the issues. Obambi would lay down in a foreign crisis, he can't have a sensible energy policy because of the left wing nuts, and is dead wrong on taxes and healthcare. This is a capitalist not socialist country.

Remember Keating 5 anyone???

Obama '08

This issue is dead. They tried that crap back in the primaries. Obama already donated all of the money Rezko gave to charity once he found out his shady dealings.

Good try McCain on trying to get people off your "10 houses" gaffe.

You wanted the spotlight, you've got it (and everything that comes with it). What a sad, looney old man. Come Nov. 4 Barack will put McSenile in his rocker.

Obama/Sebelius 2008/2012.

"Obama couldn't afford"

So this ad proves that McCain is the filthy rich guy with so many houses that McCain does not know. This is Obama's only house and by McCain's words, Obama is just a regular guy who is paying his "struggling" to pay his bills.

By the way, this ad is more sleazy than Rezko.

McCain can now be called McSleazy!

BONE HEADED MISTAKE IS NOT A CRIME!

recycle recycle recycle!

Being 100% objective, its easy to understand why Obama's arguement is more effective than McCain's. Frankly, the Rezko issue is complex and it's been brought up before. On the other hand, McCain not knowing how many homes he owns is more relatable and simple. Americans facing foreclosure will find a republican forgetting how many homes he owns offensive, flat out.

Obama 1: McCain 0.

This election is about to get dirty

OBAMA and HILLARY share 95% of their views.

McCain and BUSH share 95% of their views.

Make your choice based on what you believe, not spite.

keep after him obama. hit him with the truth there is nothing negitave
abount the truth. i wonder are evangelicals liars or is it there pastor ?

James D....

On your comment:

"God…how I wish the west coast could secede. The "heartland" and the south have held this country back for my entire lifetime. Europe…here I come."

I totally agree with you. This whole prudish holier than though, bible belt, everything in the closet "heartland" mentality is what's keeping this country back. They call themselves real Americans. I call them the plight that holds America back.

But please... don't break away from the East Coast states either.. Places like NY, NJ, Maryland, FL, VA... those places are all moving forward too .

I wonder how many guns are in marxist, militant Michelle Obama's closet.

Another thing;

Our country has lost respect, in part because of our President. BUT, also because we have become so rude and self-centered, just look at the names McCain and Obama have been called in these posts.
If we want respect as a people, we need to start where WE can do something. Our attitudes.

Does McCain really want to go here? Is he not worried that the Obama campaign bring up Keating 5. That's right KEATING 5. The one which cost the US taxpayers $3.4 billion dollars. The one which McCain was one of 5 Senators that got slapped in the hand.

Or G. Gordon Liddy, the domestic terrorist who threw McCain a fundraiser.

McCain's campaign begins the fear-mongering way earlier than Bush did.

Hmmmm – he must be more desparate than bushie

KEATING FIVE

The ultimate cost of the crisis is estimated to have totaled around $160.1 billion, about $124.6 billion of which was directly paid for by the U.S. taxpayer.

LOOK FOR THAT AD SOON

This is such a non issue. The facts are that he purchased the house at fair market value and later some land next door also at fair market value. The ad is misleading. Why is nothing being said about McCain's Keating 5 involvement?! Or the way McCain treated his first wife...that is enough deciet to make you never want to vote for this scumbag. If character (or lack of it) doesn't bother you, think about him bringing back the draft and your kids and grandkids being killed in an immoral war.

OKAY LET'S GET THE FACTS STRAIGHT!

THE OBAMA'S WANTED TO BUY THE HOUSE, BUT THE OWNERS WOULDN'T SELL UNLESS THEY BOUGHT THE EMPTY LOT NEXT DOOR (CNN'S SPECIAL LAST NIGHT IS MY SOURCE) SO REZKO'S WIFE BOUGHT THE LOT AS A FAVOR.

BIG DEAL!

THIS......PALES..........IN COMPARISON.........TO THE KEATING FIVE!

TO THE LIES BUSH/CHENEY TOLD ABOUT THE REASON.......TO ATTACK..........IRAQ!

PALES........IN COMPARISON..........TO THE 225 DAYS OF MISSING WHITE HOUSE EMAILS!

PALES........IN COMPARISON........ TO THE BUSH/CHENEY LEGACY OF ALMOST.............$10 TRILLION IN NATIONAL DEBT..........OWED TO.................CHINA.........SAUDIS........... DUBAI!

THE GOP CAN ATTACK.......... BUT THEY BETTER BE CAREFUL.........WE ARE GETTING SMART...........AND LOOKING INTO THEIR DARK CLOSETS!

mcsame you should talk,(keating) how many houses do you own? oh wait a minute, let me ask my staff. since there is so many i can't remember. what an idiot. and you running for president. putz

Why is it that McCain even blames his lies on Obama and answers any criticism with the POW card? His antics and rationalizes give the Obama campaign the rational that everything about McCain is also on the table.

Time to release all of your military records: 60 pages released; 540 unreleased. What is hiding in the other 90%?? McCain has not been thoroughly vetted!!

McCain's campaign hq in denver received a shipment of nose candy for botox barbie and called in the feds – ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

Actually, both John McCain And Democrat John Glenn had equal roles in the Keating Five situation and both were cleared. Obama should probably stay away from that one, with his numerous sleazy connections.

When did it become a bad thing to be wealthy in America?
You guys are putting McCain down because his wife is well to do?
The probable truth is the Mr. is always in Washington as opposed spending time in those homes and the Mrs. is the one who enjoys them.
When Obama sells a bunch (more) books and also starts buying multiple homes, will you still consider it bad?
Follow and agree because you believe in his principles and ideas not because he told you to.

According to FactCheck.org... this entire ad is a lie...

Obama bought a 10 foot strip of vacant land which Rezco owned to expand his back yard... that's it. The only involvement he had with Rezco was for a project where Rezco helped funding for community restoration. All political contributions made by Rezco have gone straight to charity. Obama was NOT involved any ANY of the projects that Rezco was indited for.

You can alway tell when the left wing has been hit dead center by their attempts to redefine reality.

MC CAIN, WOULD BE TRUSTED TO RUN NATIONWIDE WITH A TEAM THAT WILL GOVERN VERY WELL FOR ALL USA CITEZEN AND ALLIED. THE CHALLENGE WORTH THE NEW POLLS RISE THE BIGGEST SINCE CORRECT DATA FROM POLLTERS ,FACED THE REAL PEOPLE WISHES./////

Scott L -your party has shamed the entire country with eight years of corruption and greed. You need to check the "air" in your candidate.
My how quickly we forget

Wow the right cant find anything new so they dig up a dead horse and beat it some more. Losers!!

Sorry McCain, I am still hung up how many houses you own! I cannot identify with you, Move on OLD man

Good! The McCain scum was supposed to come as a commando action in the last moment but since Obama campaign finally decided to play neo-cons' game, they had to come early. Unfortunately for McCain, all of this dirt was already spilled by Billary. There is nothing left for the McBush. tch tch

the sad thing is, the republican playbook of repeating lies over and over until people believe them WORKS because the American people are too lazy to bother reading anything other than spam emails and sensationalist headlines.

Obama wins this round

Scott L

The Republicans are the ones who are morally bankrupt and will lose in a landslide in November. Who sent more than 4,000 troops to die in war based on lies and fabricated intelligence? McCain supported this policy and will undoubtedly get us into more trouble if elected. At one of his so-called "town hall" meetings he agreed with a woman who said that the draft should be reinstated. Get your facts straight before you post.

Only the foolish will vote for:

McCLiar McCpanderer McCadulterer McCgambler McCdraft McCwar McCoilpuppet McCantremeber McCsenile McCkeating5

How many more of our children are you willing to sacrifice for your war loving ways? Save the embryos until they are 18 then use them for cannon fodder!

Oh No Mr. McBush.

Why McLiar is running for president,,,,he was not born in the USA,,,I did not know they have change the rules that you must be born in the usa to run for president.

Nice nice house.....
Go Obama!

It appears that Obama's "Chickens are coming home to roost"

See, the problem with this ad is that it's too complicated. If you're just some random person who doesn't follow this stuff, you probably have no idea what they are talking about.

Obama's ad is much more simple, and it goes to the root of the whole "McCain is old and out of touch" without putting much thought into it (thanks to McCain).

McCain got hammered today and him and the GOP threw the kitchen sink at Obama out of desperation.

Democratic will Unite and we will win. Go Democratic Take Back The White House!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now it is time for the Democrat party to bash McCain and his vitriolic senility.

The Republican party and McCain are easy marks. Get angry and take advantage. We are all with you.

Reason and intelligence will win out over fear and ignorance!!!

McSame had a bad day yesterday. What to do? Make up something and attack Obama to get the spotlight off him. Same old song and dance. The Rezko thing played out a long time ago. If there were anything illegal about it, Obama would have been on trial also. Just try and fool the people like the Republicans always do. That's all they got! They offer no new plans for the future, only recycled stuff every election...abortion, gay marriage, war. Sound familiar?

Another example of Obama’s inexperience. He should have never taken on this home deal.

Why not compare that he has a better-looking head of hair than McCain?

McCain needs to get his behind somewhere an sit it down I'm sure the last thing he really wants is someone investigating his past. What I find extremely funny is the fact that he can hatch up so much information about Obama's affairs and not give an account for the number of homes he own.

I'm sure as low down as McCain and his fellow Republicans are IF they knew of any wrong done by Obama it would have been reported with all the extra smear they can get away with and some. What point is being made here besides the one they are forcing is Obama the fact that IF Obama could not afford his million dollar home it's because instead of running over the less advantage while chasing a dollar he was actually helping them with little financial profit, but gained a wealth of moral values that he plan to share with America.

John owns more houses than even he can count how did he obtain them? How did he get to be one of the richest senators? It sure wasn't from spending his time doing good unto mankind because the same way he only thinks of himself and what he wants now is the same way he got all that he has now. SELFISH GAIN! CHEATING ON HIS WIFE WHILE CHASING A WOMAN THAT HAD THE MONEY HE DESIRED TO GET MORE!

My friend John is the last one to question any one's morality!

All of you Obamaniacs shouting "Keating Five, Keating Five" need to learn that McCain did not violate any law of the United States or the Senate. It was a mistake of poor judgement and McCain has admitted that it was one of his greatest mistakes.

@Scott L

I sure love Obama's energy plan. No more nuclear power (we need it Obama), no offshore drilling (so we are forced to buy it from people who hate us), just check your tires and we should all be fine. More solar, wind, and energy research is great but we also need more nuclear power, and in the short term offshore drilling.

So let me get this straight...... McCain slams Obama for ties to special interests.....

This is too funny....

McCain's mom should have taught him to look in the mirror.

Remember Charles Keating? Or should we forget about that since it happened years ago?

Get real.....

McRichie Rich
How Can Someone Run For President, and Not Know How Many Homes They Own.

Plus Why Didn't He Say I'll Have To Ask My Wife.

My "Staff" I Find This So Weird!

He Is So OUT OF TOUCH!

I will state this emphatically. I am a former Republican so you can't bash me as being a liberal.

The Republican party is pure trash at this point. You have to hold your nose and dissociate yourself with this idiocy. It's strange how conservatives claim they are closer to god. Far from it. They are the most ignorant people on the subject of religion.

and Obama has been long cleared of any shady dealings. Just another desperate LIE from McSame and his tribe of mudslingers.

Unfortunately, the campaigns are relying on our ADHD-type attention span to ensure the only topics that cross our lips are the least important part of the candidate's past activities, the vast majority of which can easily be refuted to be untrue or at least a victim of interpretation.

That I and so many of us have thinking, intellectually curious minds and a real concern over the future direction of this country, and what our children and future generations will inherit, means very little to the "strategists" running the campaigns.

These tactics are demeaning, and frankly, if to desire to be informed and addressed as an adult is to be termed and labeled an "elitist", then to the campaigns I plead: PLEASE pander to this elitist citizen and patriot to exhaustion and avoid these schoolyard, adolescent antics.

Rezko is currently a non-issue. Obama did not do anything illegal in getting a great deal on his home.

However, when it comes to the charge of elitism, I think granpa and barbie win every time...

Say no to McWarmonger and Barack the vote

Obama 08 B4 it's 2 late

And.....where's the crime???? Is this all McCain and his camp has???

Hmm lets see his wife is rich and buys homes for investments. Rather than say he has 5 and it turn out to be 7, and then he's really out of touch he wanted to make sure the right number got out there. And like he said it's mostly the condo's. I'm guessing his wife(who makes a lot of money) invested in real estate. As opposed to ohhbama who for a long time was in Rezko's pocket. Gee I wonder if Nobama will now return all the money from his previous state senate run since he's already returned the "Rezko money" They both have the same issue they're politicians. And politicians deal with some people who end up being disreputable. Abramoff had his hand with every lobbyist and politician on both sides of the isle. Rezko had his hand in every Chicago politicians pocket. Like the saying goes, Let e who is without sin cast the first stone. And since we all know that Uhhhbama is the One or Messiah or whatever his followers are calling him he new he was perfectly safe from any controversy involving real estate or corrupt politicians....Not.

I'll take someone who's wife bought some property over someone who bought some property with a Criminal any day of the week.

How about obama take real questions and stop using the teleprompter. Oh wait, he hasn't received the appellation Uhhbama for nothing. He's about as clumsy as bush when it comes to thinking on his feet.

Since you dems haven't stopped buchering McCains name and not respecting him I think it's time some of us Republicans returned the favor.

Change without substance is Status Quo....No to O.

Why do all of McCains ads border on slander and twisted news snipets? What I find odd is that McCain has been in office for @25 years he should have a laundry list of changes and accomplishments that he implimented. Instead attack ads and promotes war. As far I find the FAITH INTERVIEW his answer to time of conception funny I liken it to the FAMILY GUY when Marge was running for Mayor her answer to all the question "911"

McCain : Can't count his 13 million dollars worth of houses. Probably why he failed to pay taxes on many of them.

McCain: Main economic advisor called YOU...yes YOU...a whiner for suffering in a time of economic downturn.

McCain: Thinks a person making less than 5 million in income isn't rich.

THIS MAN WILL RUIN OUR ECONOMY AND INFRASTRUCTURE...all while having us fight in Iran and Eastern Europe.

Vote Obama, for your family's sake.

I love how the only people who ever bring racial issues up during this campaign are Barack Obama and the liberal posters on CNN.com. McCain and his upporters are concerned with issues, experience, credibility and readiness to lead a nation, not skin color. Get over it and stop playing the race card.

Bring up the Keating 5. McCain has been in the Sen. for nearly 30 years. Throw everything at him including the kitchen sink! Through the baby out with the bath water! Hell, through the tub out! Hit 'em high! Hit 'em low!

ccs, your comment made me laugh out loud! Obama honest! hahahahahahaha.

Ok, McCain let's talk Keating 5. Let's also talk about your complete lack of character and moral fiber evidenced by what you did to your first wife. Let's talk about the documented emotional problems of former POWs and your therapy for post traumatic stress disorder. Can you tell us just how much medicine you take for your injuries and limited range of motion in your arms and knees? How about that cancer?

McCain seems to be in the gutter the way Bush was during the 2000 nomination battle with McCain. McCain has gotten down in the gutter with Bush.
I like the way Obama is keeping his powder dry before the battle begins. All McCain's CRAP and he's still behind ... and still in the gutter!

@CCS

Have you checked the air in your tires yet? Where is this so called important step every American must take to check the air in their tires? Has anyone checked the air in their tires? Single moms, people working 2-3 jobs, families with ailing family members...

Did anyone rally around the cry to check the air in your tires? No. So stop believing in the Democratic dream. You will get crushed in November and your party is hopelessly lost. Bill Clinton shamed your party with cigars in the oval office. My how quickly we forget.

I am just upset that McCain and the Republican are using God and is Word to debase Obama.
I guess McCain would rather gain the world and lose his soul. God is real and so are his words and to play with him is mean and spitefful and showns no respect for people space.

Well gee... that was predictable.

The lying McCain still peddling the same old lies.

Of course, the ad won't talk about Jack Abramoff raising over a million dollars for this liar, LAST WEEK.

Right? My friend?

All I can do is laugh on this one.

How many of you saw last night's special on CNN? Well, I sure did and NOTHING Sen. Obama did was illegal with the purchase of his house. On the other hand, McCain was cheating on his first wife before he met Cindy McCain.

McCain in my humble opinion cannot win based on facts, his senate record or anything else. This is why his camp started this negative ad crap. People wake up!

One Problem. THER IS NO CONNECTION, THIS AD IS PHONEY, just like the John McCain, his wife and everyone that he surrounds himself with.

Why do Dems constantly say McCain supports the draft? He does not. Charles Rangel a DEMOCRAT proposed a bill to reinstate the draft back in 2006. Democrats really need to check their facts before blasting McCain. This includes you EDW.

McCain has a very short memory of his own. Tony Rezco dosen't compare to Joe Bonanno, (yes that one), who retired in Arizona and became one of John McCain's closest friends and contributors

The McCain house gaffe proves he had the questions in advance at Saddleback.

McCain must have some old people like him working on his campaign, because this is the way they did it in the 70's make personal attacks, and not stick to the issues.
Wow, I think this is a joke!

Unbelievable. This is lower than low. Those of you that condone this should be ashamed.

And vic from Nashville (of course) and others saying vote for Hillary or McCain....it's because of people like you that we have suffered with the likes of GW Bush. You are utterly clueless.

God...how I wish the west coast could secede. The "heartland" and the south have held this country back for my entire lifetime. Europe...here I come.

Actually....and you are misrepresenting facts and just because you post obnoxiously doesn't make the story true....the house could only be bought by buying an adjacent property that cost 300K. Rezko's wife, not Rezko himself, bought the property which allowed Obama to buy the house alone, which he bought at market price. He then purchased 1/6th of the adjacent land from Mrs. Rezko at market price....there's some truth for you.

OBAMA '08

McAincient

Could not have said it better myself folks.

How about an Obama ad on the Keating scandal?
How about one on conflict of interest when dealing with lobbying from the alcohol industry?

I guess Obama has to dig deeper, being that mcsame has been in office for 26yrs and hasnt accomplished any thing except being invovled in corrpution....we have years too look at mcsame record. thats y i like obama, he hasnt been in washington long enough to get corrputed unlike mcsame, bush, clintion just to name a few....it seems the longer ur in washington, the more favors u owe to "special interests", lobbyists, and no favors for the american people...time for change people

Hey Obama supporters (and I'm certainly one)...we were soooooooo outnumbered.

I'm getting the feeling the gun is being held to our head. I.e. Take on all that HRC baggage or lose. HRC and Bill have some seriously bad baggage. Barack – not so much. McCain – a load of mess...but that's all that experience.

Hillary's "whip team" ....is that a team to bring about unity or does it have to do with something from the dark period in the US when African Americans were treated poorly(?) I'm just asking

MCCAIN WORKS WITH CHARLIE BLACK WHO DEALT WITH SAVIMBI OF ANGOLA (THE MURDERER KILLED MANY ANGOLANS); CINDY MCCAIN HAD SHARES WITH THE NORTHERN SUDANESE CORRUPT GOVERNMENT...LOOK AT THESE TIES. MCCAIN WE ARE NOT STUPID...NOT THIS TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sooo, what's up with Charles Keating, Abramoff, cheating on first wife, leaving first three kids, lying about Mother Theresa, not knowing how many houses you own, your current Barbie wife's addiction to pain killers, and stealing the pain killers from organization????

Cost to taxpayers:

Rezko – $0

McCain/Keating 5 – $150,000,000,000

Re. Rezko, there's very little there–see the Illinois papers that investigated this thoroughly rather than McCain's smears.

I'm hoping we get just as much detailed financial investigations about McCain's mysterious 4,6,7,8,9–whatever number–houses–especially about the acquisition deals they involve and the likely tax shelters they provide.

McCain deserves to have his 'Obama is Elitist' smear bounce back on himself as it rightly should since the McCains are far more elitist compared to regular Americans. The hypocrisy was too much to swallow.

Another shady character Obama deals with. This one is a convicted felon. When McCain mistepped and Obama hit him on it, he might have opened a door that cannot be closed

Every sleazy add only reinforces Obama's message, and how urgently we need change.

Just deflect the issue instead of trying to answer the question, Obamabots. Obamanation launching attack ad in 3 ... 2... 1

all you have to say is "keating five"

McCain is now blaming Obama for his gaffes. He is an old scumbag that will do anything to win.

It really is sad how the DNC threw this poor guy to the wolves.

And shunned the only candidate that could have fought them. She's been fighting (and may I add winning) them for 16 years.

And don't you love how the Obama fans quickly dispersed these past few days? I' read these every day and there are, in my opinion, half of the responses. And the other half are making fun of Sen Clinton's debt. Because that is hilarious.

RIP – Representative Tubbs Jones

Does the McCain campaign really want to do this? With the things in McCain's closet to bring up so called "scandals" that Obama has been cleared of is rediculous. Take the Keating Five as a a perfect example.

HOW ABOUT $3.6 BILLION DOLLARS OF YOUR TAX PAYERS MONEY TO BAIL OUT JOHN MCCAIN & KEATING 5 AFTER STEALING FROM INVESTORS. THAT'S RIGHT $3.6 BILLION DOLLARS STOLEN BY THE KEATING 5 AKA JOHN MCCAIN. NOW WHAT'S GOING ON WITH SILVER BANK AND JOHN MCCAIN, LET'S TALK ABOUT THAT.

That's right-Rezko and Obama were "tight." Follow the money and Obama will be in deep doo doo.

Where is the honorable, decent John McCain. He disappoints me. I at one time respected his courage and service to his country. That has all been flushed down the toilet.
What I am coming to believe is that McCain will just be another Bush administration ,,,,,only the name on the oval office will change....

LAME!

pathetic mccain campaign. of course, you can suspect the connnection between obama and businessman rezko, but you ABSOLUTELY cannot make a conclusion based on your suspecion.

So basically you have Obama with his dirty dealings taking money from criminals to buy a million dollar house he can't afford. He does this of course because of his huge ego and his desire to show off so he can pretend he's something he's not and of course to show off!!

And then Obama tries to make something out of the fact that McCain doesn't want to brag on and on about how many houses he owns. – Homes Mccain actually CAN afford by the way unlike the phony Obama.

Mccain cares more about the country, more about Americans, more about sacrifice and doing what's right than running around the world trying to show off, and trying to brag about his homes. Obama just cares about looking down on people and trying to be superior with his inflated ego.

Why is this info buried in political ticker, when Obama's attack is still front and center? I thought there was no bias media coverage... guess I was wrong...

all youve been talking about is house you call this news cnn

Obama has opened a can of worms ..... there are too many skeletons in his closet

Why is it every single time Obama airs an ad about McCain, it's based on truth and exact quotes yet every time McCain airs an ad about Obama, it's based on exaggerations and falsehoods?

My guess is it's because the only way to come up with something negative about Obama is to make it up?

Oh, Wow! So much (again) for a "respectful campaign"? McCain has lost ALL my respect. His ads are loaded with outright light lies and gross exaggerations.

Disgusting!

Mcbush, how did you get seven homes as a senator????????????

Rezko yet again – this has been thoroughly investigated by the Chicago Tribune (http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/opinion/letters/chi-0316edit1mar16,0,7855333.story) – there's no meat left in this bone. Read the story if you haven't already; "boneheaded" is how Obama describes his action, and that's all it is. Any of us might have done something similar, but an aspirant POTUS should have been more cautious. It was a mistake, Obama's not God, get over it.

There are many similar or worse skeletons in McCain's closet – but it's not minor errors of this sort that make him unsuited for the job.

Anyway, McCain's campaign firing this gun now rather than in November shows how rattled they were by the "houses" shtick. Good – it's time the real contrasts between the two started to get exposed.

Obama (aka Howdy Doody) is in no position to debate housing with McCain, especially when Obama buys a house through a convicted felon.

I can't begin to express my dislike for the Repugs, John McCain and their same old tactics. What choice does Obama have but to fight back? I hope he comes out of Denver with his heavy weight gloves tied and ready to punch hard. McCain, with the Repug machine behind him, has sunk to the same lows we've seen before from Karl Rove and the thugs that promoted W....a huge disappointment, but not a surprise.

Go Mc Cain
Hillary supporters will support you
Hillary 08 or Mc Cain 08

That is old, old news that has been vetted, and Obama had already
said he made a mistake he should not had deal with this Rezko guy. McCain has the nerve to be tellling us that Obama does nto understand the poor and the downtrodden. But he McCai with his millions of dollars and 9 houses can relate to us. What a laugh. McCain is insulting us and talking down to us. It blows my mind how many people would believe him. It is a fact that whe you are that rich it is very hard to relate to someone who cannot afford the next meal. Wake up American.... McCain is a lier and a Joker. He is talking
us all for fools.

If John McCain wants to talk about "land deals", then let's report about his illegal/corrupt Arizona land deal with (SunCor Development) Steven Betts. By the way, we (family/friends) wonder how much money Steven Betts has raised for John McCain's presidential bid.

McCain should know a thing or two about political favors to convicted felons.

Only democrats get convicted, the republicans , they just change addresses.

Hey McRichie Rich How Many Cars Do You Owned?

St. John McCain,

Obama did nothing wrong in buying the house from Rezko. But there is a problem when you cannot recall the number of houses you own. It reflects either a lack of due diligence and inteeligence on you part or that, coupled with the many gaffes you've made to date, your in the early stages of dementia. And that can be a real problem for our country if your elected president.

Shady dealings, indeed. Obama opened the door on this one...

Lowell Paxson...For just a mere $100,000.00 you can buy McCain too.
Hess Foundation...well we bought McCain for 1.3 million
59 LOBBYIST running McCain camp...well we didn't have to pay a dime, we are getting ours in the back end.

What comes to mind when seeing Panamanian McCain?

POST TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER (unresolved).

People this fraud, McCain, is dangerous, very dangerous for America!

GREAT AD John McCain!!!!

Expose Obama the fraud and thug that he is....

Cnn you have printed the same thing twice and since you have connected t with Fox you better print this at least a dozen times but just in case you missed something just ask Hannity he in the desk right beside you he will guide you .

Let's add to it: There was nothing illegal found to have been done. Vs the Keating Five, where there WERE people put in jail for their involvement. One of those people involved was John McCain.

If you think 'not doing something illegal' is worse then 'doing something illegal', then you are obviously going to vote for McCain anyways. The rest of us are waking up and finding out that McCain offers a 27 year record of corrupt politics and self interest for a few close friends and lobbyists.

I haven't completely ruled out voting for McCain, but his ties to corruption run longer and deeper then any of Obama's.

Just like McCain... point the finger at someone else to hide who HE really is - rich, more houses than he can count and all because he had the foresight to grab a rich heiress even before getting divorced from his first family.

NOW THAT'S JUDGMENT! He's got his - you're on your own.

What a crock. McCain probably can't REMEMBER where the houses ARE, I mean... he's proven how little geography he knows without Joe Lieberman whispering in his ear.

McCain = Bush = 4 more years of the SAME lies, the SAME aggression, the SAME giveaways to BIG OIL.

McCain is a moral and ethical wasteland.

Lame... Next

McCain should know about land deals being one of the Keating 5!

What a jerk!

It's about to hit the fan!!!!! I hope we get to hear it all before the election.

Time to demand McCain to release his Navy records.

Just like McCain... point the finger at someone else to hide who HE really is - rich, more houses than he can count and all because he had the foresight to grab a rich heiress even before getting divorced from his first family. NOW THAT'S JUDGMENT

Obama has committed no crime with Rezko, and all the money that Rezko ultimately donated to the Obama campaign was transferred to charity. McCain had to do the same thing with donations he took from questionable sources.

Slimy Republican politics. I hope Americans are smart enough to see through this garbage.

Why hadn't CNN included the Obama response to this ad as they always do when there is something scrutinizing McCain??

Why aren't these ads from either side scrutinized when published? Isn't that the ROLE of a NEWS media? All of the claims in this ad were debunked during the primaries and your news staff is aware of it.

Is McCain getting "testy"?

Lies...

Obama purchased the home as the highest bidder. The owner was not Rezko, but rather Rezko's neighbor! After Obama moved in, he paid full market value for what was in essence Rezko's backyard so that Obama's girls could have a nice backyard. No favors were granted at all.

Unlike McCain's involvement in the Keating 5 scandal, Obama was never even involved in Rezko's trial. He was not involved ... because he was not involved!

Yet another example of McCain not being able to win on values or ideas, so (like the GOP always does) he resorts to mud slinging. Throw enough lies out there and eventually the moronic, dittohead public will believe. Ask Bush and Co. how that 9-11/ Saddam mantra worked. You right-wing sheep.

dig harder than this old man McWar...this is old news an can not hurt our new president. barack obama. did you really not know how many houses you have or did you just have a senior moment? THANK GOD IT WAS NOT 3AM AMD YOU FINALLY HEARD THE PHONE RING AND YOU WERE ASKED SOMETHING IMPORTANT LIKE SHOULD WE BOMB OR NOT BOMB. MAYBE YOU SHOULD SEE A DR.FOR ALL THAT FORGETFULNESS.

This is OLD news. We hashed this out during the primary. John must have been too busy trying to find out where all of his houses were and not seen the Rezko headlines that were floated for almost three weeks. Hey didn't McHouses belong to some cool group of five guys – Keating something or another?

It's about time-hit BO where it hurts-BO comes from the cesspool of American politics-the Daleys-who of course have ties with Rezko-dirty, dirty, dirty!!!-Here comes the tidal wave!-gonna be fun and watch Obama UM his way out of this one!!!

The Daleys delivered IL for JFK and they coined the phrase-"Vote Early and Vote Often" in Nov. 1960.-

It's amazing that the mccain campaign has said very little about what it wants to do for the country. The experience touted is POW. I applaud mccain for his service to his country but it does not qualify him for president. What specifically has he done in his 26 years in congress to better the life of Americans?

If we as voters allow ourselves to be suckered in emotionally by all of this negative campaigning then we deserve what we get because it works. When I close my eyes and listen to mccain, I get flashbacks to George Bush who said and acted the same.

Please, let's step up and take our country back from the politicians, lobbists and special interest groups!

Hey McRichie Rich How Cars Do You Owned?

Obama tells the truth in his ad. But McCain's campaign lies about this one with Rezko. When will McCain start "straight talking"?

Wynter

As we all know there was no findings of wrongdoing on Senator Obama's part in the Rezco trial so once again Senator McCain is putting out his norm of half truth and out right lies. He is trying to deflect from what is known about he & Cindy owning all those houses. Maybe he may have forgotten or be having one of his senior moments so lets not be so hard on him but he at least needs to tell the truth.

mc c you cannot go any lower than a snake´s a_s

you are corrupt (Keating 5) cheater (on your first wife=Misogynist, warmonger, shameful and you look like the albino hulk......numbskull repugnants all of them.....

who cares. McCain is going to lose big time.

IF Obama is that dirty, then why isn't he facing charges?? Surely a man running for President would be scrutinized more heavily.. More McCain tricks of flinging mud and seeing what sticks..

McCain has over 55+ lobbyists working on his campaign. McCain has 7 homes, Obama has 1.. Now who is the elitist? McCain got favors in the Navy because of daddy. McCain sang to the Viet Cong during the war to less his punishments.. He is NOT the hero he is made out to be!! If he is such a hero why no M.O.H (Medal of Honor)??

McCain will raise taxes and lower medicare payments.. He collects Naval Disability but yet he won't release his Navy records.. What is he hiding??

CNN or McCNN,

McCain could not remember the number of houses that he and his wife have. Not "the number of properties" which undoubtedly is an even larger number - if he can't remember the number of houses, he surely can't remember all the "properties" they have. But what would you expect from a man who even when he was young finished 894th out of 899 cadets.

Again! "What can I say"? John McCain.... Stability! When all the World Has Gone Crazy.... John McCain is still on Stable Ground ..

McCAIN YOU'RE SO OLD.

a kitchen sink response to his gaffe about how many homes he owns.

I can still see both Cindy and John boy saying how they were not going to travel down this road, I think Obama tried to make this election about the people and would still like to but how can he when obviously McDumb has made it about Obama since it is the only way he can get attention from the Bush followers.

I will vote for Obama over McCain any day of the week, I live in Arizona and know the real "JOHN", if you did you would not vote for him either.

There are a lot of issues (cost of food, energy, wars, dwindling 401Ks etc) affecting we as Americans and yet we sit and let our leaders ran stupid negative ads against each other, and we use that as a yardstick to measure how good they would be as a leader. WOW!! No wonder we've lost our respect in the world market. Boy we have not credibility.

What a lie!!!!!

If Rezko got any political favors from Obama he would be in jail or under investigation...just like the Republican Senator from Alaska!!

Does this open up the Keating can of worms? I sure hope it does.

and mccain got his 6+ houses (he couldn't afford by himself) by marrying into orgainzed crime by way of adultery.

Give me a break!!!!
Senator Obama simply bought A .*.one house* from rezko
He was investigated when rezko was and was not that tied in with him
he was not tied in any illegally activity to rezko thats the *important issue*
if you watched the show last night by Suzanne Mellville(Great show) you would know that!
unlike McCain who was tied in with the keating 5 BIG Time!!!!

What's worse, not remembering how many houses "you" own or getting a sweetheart housing deal (below market cost) and having Rezko's wife buy the adjacent property on the same day so that you did not have to purchase both properties. as the seller insisted......?????

NOT EVEN DONALD TRUMP COULD HAVE PULLED THOSE TERMS

Too bad Obama was cleared of any connection to Rezko's illegal activities, including the Chicago Tribune, who aren't Obama-friendly saying he did nothing wrong.

try again senator McCan'trememberwhomanyhousesheowns

Hmmm, remember Keating 5 anyone?

7 houses...wow

This ad is another lie...McCain has yet to have an ad with truth in it.............Resko did NOT recieve political favors from Obama in any way shape or form. Obama was not implicated in any of Resko's dealings..period.

McCain is the fake in this race

Yeah.........he worked with Rezko and when he decided to run for President, his cover up would be revealed regardless of the consequences...

I tell you what, we can probably have the GOP on our payroll...it'll be just like the good times! LOL!!!!

Wow the right cant find anything new so they dig up a dead horse and beat it some more. Losers!!

Unlike McCain, Obama has taken responsibility for the mistake of dealing in real estate with Rezko, gave all contributions to charity, and cut all ties long ago. McSame is still raising money with Abremoff cronies.

The McSame OLD politics!!

Dont back down Obama nation, the Attacks are working, as the Right Wing is in full defense mode, just where we want them.

Wanna talk about bad money connections, McCain? How about the Keating Five?

Mccain ad highlights more bull in hope's to scare the public, oh my god he's a celebrity! Oh my god he knows somoene who knows someone who is related to a bad someone, oh noes!

Mccain is an idiot, he literally is stupid, please do not put in an idiot into the white house again, it just doesn't work! In 8 years we've doubled our national debt, we can't afford another 4 years of the same policies...c'mon think....ah who am I talking to, almost half the country is a bunch of idiots that swallow republican BS like good little sheep.

Take the gloves off Obama. The GOP needs to know that the American people are sick and tired of the lies.

Shall we list all the less than manly qualities that Old Man McCain has? This is just sickening.

OBAMA N 08

McWar are you not off topic just a bit?....Looks like Obama's housing

ad did the trick.

Rezko is already discreated as a non- issue. John McCain will be known before November and there is no holding back on his 26 years fake experience in DC. OUT OF TOUCH WITH THE REGULAR AMERICAN PEOPLE!

OBAMA 2008

Oh yea, this ad is so full of lies! Sure, of course he has ties to criminals like all black people do! Racial overtones much?

Is this all you got? Too bad there's NOTHING OUT OF LINE with the purchase of this house. Been covered and DEBUNKED already.

Boring
