Well folks….. it ain't just the Keeting Five that we should be worrying about…McGimmic's son was a member of the Board of Directos of Silver State Bank…ya know…the one that just failed recently. Like father, kike son….do you all want McGimmic anywhere close to our money??? I don't!!!!!

Try 2
it's funny how the McCain campaign is trying to wiggle out of the same dirt they're throwing out.
The fact is, relationship with Ayres is really a non issue unless you suggest that Obama's judgment is flawed for having any form of contact with Ayres.. I find that stupid, but let's use the same standard to McCain.
Applying that standard to McCain, you can prove that McCain's judgment is even more flawed for accepting favors from Keating, and also not having the judgment to discern between good and bad actions.

I say McCain's judgment is downright dangerous

Shame on you, John McCain!

MCCAIN HAS BEEN REDUCED TO AN ANGRY, BITTER, ARROGANT, DESPERATE OLD MAN WITH OLD IDEAS.

FOR THOSE WHOSE RACISM WILL NOT ALLOW THEM TO VOTE FOR OBAMA, YOU HAD BETTER WAKE UP!

IF YOU CARE ABOUT YOUR JOBS, PENSIONS, 401(K)'S, RETIREMENT SAVINGS, ETC. YOU HAD BETTER THINK VERY SERIOUSLY ABOUT VOTING FOR MCCAIN AND PALIN.

IF YOUR RACIST BELIEFS CAN'T BE OVERCOME, DO US ALL A FAVOR ON ELECTION DAY………….STAY HOME!

Mccain started this dirty smears….HIS going DOWN,wake AMERICA..wake up, 8 years of economic disaster,weak dollar,
highest forclosure ever,thousands of recorded jobs lost..republican shoud'nt be anywhere near the white house for next 3 decades..
with john mccain your country would totally disappear like a vapor,
WAKE UP……….think about the future of your children and grand children…America deserve better than than this pain She's going thru.

To Tony and Female Voter: Tony…none of those democrats are running for POTUS genious. To Female Voter…so what? Obama never took funds from Ayers, he only met with him, years ago. Don't try to picka nd choose your details lady. Your old man and the lipstick Fido are going nowhere in November. They can smear and distort all they want. Since they have no new ideas of their own to provide, it's the typical Rovian/Atwater plan… It worked before (on McCain in 80) but not this time. Too many people now know the 8 years of agony the current idiot in chief has subjected us to, and JM/Fido are just going to continue them

McCain was young when this occurred…….. we need to stop looking at the past and look to solutions for the future…… what matters is that Obama went the house of a person that was 1970's terrorist (but never convicted) in the mid 90's.

Hey Combat Vet

You should be more concerned over McCains total TOTAL LACK OF SUPPORT for Veterans. He uses his POW history to rally the troops and then votes against every dime needed by Vets!

They keep talking about experience. Bush had experience, but look where we are as a nation. McCain may have experience and that is worse, because he knows how to abuse the system after the Keating Five scandal.

none-issue obama is so pathetic could not come up whit something better then this. Remember everyone cant be accused of any crime . You are not guilty until proven. and McCain was found NOT GUILTY. Can obama prove that is terrorist ties are not real? I prefer some one not guilty of a crime then someone who is a friend of terrorist..

McCain's Own Radical Ties….
G.Gordon Liddy -
McCain served on boards with him, considers him a 'friend'

landed Liddy a four-year jail sentence.

But Liddy's career of inflammatory statements and actions exceed his Watergate actions.

Liddy, advising Branch Davidians how to defend themselves from ATF agents during a radio show:

"If the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms insists upon a firefight, give them a firefight. Just remember, they're wearing flak jackets and you're better off shooting for the head."

Liddy, on the impact Adolf Hitler had on him as a child:

When he listened to Hitler on the radio, it "made me feel a strength inside I had never known before," he explains. "Hitler's sheer animal confidence and power of will [entranced me]. He sent an electric current through my body."

Watch Out McCain – You have a few more skelatons that can be exposed!

Rogers neglected to mention that the ethical review of the Keating Five scandal concluded that McCain had exercised "remarkably poor judgment," or that Keating provided the core funding for McCain's original campaign for Congress. None of these things are central issues, however.

The real point at issue in this election is that the Republican party's experiment with the resurrection of laissez-faire economics has failed in very much the same way as the 19th century laissez-faire period ended, in rampant corruption and economic collapse. "Supply-side," or "trickle-down" economic theory, which the Republican party has enshrined as party doctrine, has been exposed as nothing more than a rebranding of laissez-faire, and the current state of the economy stands as proof that the rebranding of laissez-faire isn't enough to make it workable.

The Republican party is committed to an economic doctrine that is guaranteed to lead to bankruptcy. It has never been more clear that a vote for the Republican ticket is a vote against the interests of American citizens.

Yes, it WAS McCain who continued to cry "deregulation" even after his mistakes were made in the "Keating 5″. He and Cindy spent plenty of time vacationing with Keating while hard working Americans lost their entire life's savings.
SHAME on you McCain!

CHECK MATE!!!

McCain is disgraceful,I had respect for him,now I see as Bush 3

Now, I could really relate to this ad. As supposed to the meaningless ads McCain is running. " it's the economy stupid ".

"About 300 guests turned out Saturday night to celebrate the 90th birthday of Joseph 'Joe Bananas' Bonanno, retired boss of New York's Bonanno crime family. He retired to Tucson in 1968. . . John McCain, R-Ariz., and Gov. Fife Symington sent their regards by telegram."
The maverick,the "straight talk express",you've got to laugh.John McCain and Joe Bonanno a founding member of "the commission".

IT IS ABOUT TIME!!!
Now hit him on his ties to a Communist group back when he started his run for Congress!!!

Great timing on Obama's side. October and another financial crisis is the exact right time strategically.

If Obama runs this country the way he runs his campaign, he will be one of the greatest presidents of all time.

Please, at this time all I want to hear, is what each canidate will DO to get us out of the mess we are in..PLANS, straight and simple..tell all of us mainstreet americanss HOW you will correct the economy, keep us from losing any more homes, pay our medical bills, put gas in our car to look for JOBS, put food on the table for ur kids…Please, oh please, just tells us your plans..so far I havent heard any from McCain..thats all I want to hear..HOW you will correct the economy and how MUCH more it is going to cost US…
Texas independent

More deregulation?? Look at the stock market today.

It is interesting how anything is game when the attacks come from Sen. McCain. Quite a double standard. I hope the American people are not fooled by his desire to portray himself as the "perfect one". The last few days development seems to me that it is "McCain first" and not "Country first" – all this talk of turning the page and going on attack mode makes it clear that our interest as Americans is not high priority for the McCain campaign.

We need to elect the person who has our best interest at heart & not their own. Someone who will seek to change our lot going forward.

To "my dear friend" Deidre from 9:13,
Obama has tried to play this thing the way he laid out in the beginning – above the fray and simply on the issues.

But, when McCain who laid his map down of "run an honorable campaign that will not get down into the mud of personal politics", what do you expect his opponent to do?

Put another way, I don't want to bomb anyone. But if the US is attacked, do you expect anyone to say "well, I committed to not bombing so we'll talk some more?" Of course not.

Which is why McCain attacked Obama for saying he'd go after Al Qaeda interests in Pakistan IF Pakistan itself didn't go after them.

Look, Obama is trying to play nice, and he can since he's got theupper hand on all issues. McCain on the other hand is dealing from a deficit position and has to throw all kinds of stuff to try to get back in the game. Obama simply isn't going to be the "nice guy" and let him do that without any opposition. Which, when we talk to Iran and North Korea, I'm sure they'll get that same msg. We'll talk, but those talks are expected to be fruitful in your actions. If not…

Difference between this and McCain's attacks? This stuff is true, and there is plenty more regarding McCain. Obama has stayed as positive as possible, but McCain has now gone fully into the gutter and Obama will bring out the negatives to counter him–but he will do it factually. Take a lesson, McCain!

4 of the 5 were Democrats.

My 80 year old father ahs voted republiocan his entire life. This election he has decided to vote for Obama and Biden because he says he has become so disappointed in McCain, whom he saw as a man of character and role model, sink to an any, bitter, self-absorbed old man who will do virtually anything to get elected.

He said the final draw came when McCain insulted the intelligence of all Americans with his choice of Palin.

GO DAD!

It is good to remind voters that McCain is the worst kind of scoundrel there ever was that ran for political office. McCain is a relic from a by-gone, for good!!, era where politicians regularly cheated on thier wives, were self-indulgent, and then hid behind a facad of pleasentries and lies, while they acted to transfer wealth from the working folks to the wealthy and well connected.

McCain may have been exonerated, but the facts are sill there. Obama was never brought up on charges of coruption, like McCain and Palin.(lol)

Friends of friends:

What is the link with the Bin Laden family and the Bush family?
Oh right, they were working hand in hand back in the days.

L

Obama playing smear politics while at the same time accusing McCain of using smear tactics. Is this is the change we need? Obama is just the same old Washington politician, nothing new. He will do and say anything to win the election.

Great stuff.

Good to see the lessons of the 2004 campaign have been learned. The only way to deal with a despicable bully is to bloody their nose.

Hit back Obama and HIT BACK HARD!!!

CORRUPT pitiful old warmonger=pow and a traitor

JUDGEMENT? exactly like his running mate NONE

ERRATIC? most of the time just like his running mate

LIAR? all the time just like his running mate

BOTH OF THEM? sickening

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

The Senate Ethics Committee investigated and cleared McCain in 1991, but said that he showed poor judgment in his efforts for Keating, who had been a major contributor to his campaign.

But NOT COMPLETELY as his camp claims….also….WHY ARE THE LOBYISTS STILL IN THIS CORRUPT MAN'S CAMPAIGN?

GOP don't have no more ammunitions for this election.
THE GAME IS OOOOOVVVVVEEEEEER FOR MCBUSH AND PALIN MOOSE WITH A BIG MOUTH.
Let see what happen on october10th in Alaska with legislature comittee.

I think it's ridiculous that during the greatest financial turmoil in the last 80 years McCain and Palin have turned to below the belt Swift-boat tactics (right now the Dow is below 10000 for the first time in years). It's also regrettable that Barack Obama's campaign has responded in kind, as this article suggests, but I guess slime breeds slime.

"a combat vet " give a break, you are not the only one! Go get a life

Why does McCain keep shooting himself in the foot like this? Starting with Palin, he has just started pandering to the Ulra-Right, while ignoring mainstream conservatives.

Now, we have Obama running for President. Valerie Jarrett, was Michele Obama's boss. She is now Obama's chief advisor and he does not make any major decisions without talking to her first. Where was Jarrett born? Ready for this? Shiraz , Iran ! Do we see a pattern here? Or am I going crazy?

On May 10, 2008 The Times reported, Robert Malley advisor to Obama was "sacked" after the press found out he was having regular contacts with "Hamas", which controls Gaza and is connected with Iran. This past week, buried in the back part of the papers, Iraqi newspapers reported that during Obama's visit to Iraq , he asked their leaders to do nothing about the war until after he is elected, and he will "Take care of things".

Looks like Palin is running the show, not only is she new to the campaign, but it looks like she missed the already put-to-rest accusations! And, is McCain really that forgetful these days?

Nice try. McCain was cleared of all wrong doing with respect to the Keating 5 incident. Bill Ayers, Tony Rezko and Rev. Wright were not. The dems. need to come up with something better than this. Oh yeah this is all they have to tie McCain to poor decisions. I smell a shift in the polls.

It's about time!

How can McCain fix the economy when he's part of the PROBLEM!??!

"When Facisim comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross".

for those of you saying obama is getting desperate, lets not forget who started this-if mccain had stuck to the issues, this would have been left alone. Do you expect obama to watch on the side lines like a helpless negro? I mean come on! Who do you think Barack Obama is?! Those who ask "who is barack obama" know very well that he is a man of honor and the only way to bring him down is to define him as scary, and unlike "us"….SHAME ON YOU!

Obama aleady proved for America that he is a leader. He is the one arises above and always work hard on the issue that matters to Americans.

McCain is a warmonger.

You McCain, said you would run an honorable campaign. Because you allowed dishonor, you are being exposed.

What you do not see McCain is that those whom you gave free reign over your campaign are destroying you and the GOP. First of all, they really do not want you McCain, they just want the POWER, you are simply a means to that end. They have found the person that they can maniplulate and use even when you fade off the scene, – Sarah Palin.
She is hungry for Power, They are Hungry for Power. Guess what McCain, if they must push you out of the way……Guess what They will.

Amercians, however will not be tricked by fear and lies. We want truth and that is Obama/Biden '08!

Well I am not happy about this…but it does force the topic back to the economy which is a plus i guess.

McCain takes three days off to bone up for the debate !!!…… Shouldn't he know what his platform is by now ????…….. And while he's cramming…….he sends the neophyte out to do his dirty politiking……. now Palin knows what a VP does !!!!!!

Around 1979 Obama started college at Occidental in California . He is very open about his two years at Occidental, he tried all kinds of drugs and was wasting his time but, even though he had a brilliant mind, did not apply himself to his studies. "Barry" (that was the name he used all his life) during this time had two roommates, Muhammad Hasan Chandoo and Wahid Hamid, both from Pakistan . During the summer of 1981, after his second year in college, he made a "round the world" trip. Stopping to see his mother in Indonesia , next Hyderabad in India , three weeks in Karachi, Pakistan where he stayed with his roommate's family, then off to Africa to visit his father's family. My question – Where did he get the money for this trip? Nether I, nor any one of my children would have had money for a trip like this when they where in college. When he came back he started school at Columbia University in New York . It is at this time he wants everyone to call him Barack – not Barry. Do you know what the tuition is at Columbia ? It's not cheap! to say the least. Where did he get money for tuition? Student Loans? Maybe. After Columbia , he went to Chicago to work as a Community Organizer for $12,000. a year. Why Chicago ? Why not New York ? He was already living in New York .

Obama and McCain have morphed into the same generic power hungry politician.

Jindal 2012

Good thing about this, is that Obama can run twice as many ads as McShame!

How can you say the Obama is desparate when he's ahead in all the polls (not that polls are right all the time)?

I think the point of this ad is about Judgment. McCains bad judgment cost American tax payers billions of dollars he is not fit to lead this country. He was erratic during the bailout he cant handle this countries diverse crisis.

Good. Hammer this old pathetic liar and his marble headed running mate. If the republican party keeps running races like this they will become extinct.

Well, there it is. If Senator McCain feels the need to continue this barrage of negative campaigning, the "darkest days of your life" will be brought back for the world to relive.

To be honest, I hate this crap. I am an Obama supporter and I hate him doing this as much as I hate seeing McCain doing it. But, I don't fault Obama for fighting like this since he did not start it.

Maybe 2 Democrats went to jail, but neither of them were Barack Obama.

Nuf said

Absolutely relevant .. these guys have destroyed this country!!

Just google McCain and the Keating 5. Keating gave McCain all kinds of lavish gifts, Cindy partnered with Keating to buy commercial investments, and the McCains spent alot of time at the Keating's Bahamas vacation home during the Savings and Loan crisis period of time.

Put that together with Sarah Palin's current ethics investigation in Alaska that she suddenly refuses to cooperate with and has hired lawyers to try to block it. Her solution is to have a panel of 3 Alaskan officials do the investigation, 3 people Palin has the authority to FIRE. Come on now. Do think we are just plain stupid?

old habits die hard. you can`t teach an old dog new trick. that why the deregulation is mcsame second name. the team of marvericks has nothing to offer ,just more misery.

It's even worse than Keating – the Hensley family has a long history of mafia-like relations going back many decades. Look up Cindy Lou Hensley – lots of family articles on Google. More corruption.

Then there's the subpoena-dodging VP candidate -

No More. No More. Not this time.

McCain eluded prosecution by a loop hole. McCain is NOT what we need in leadership during this economic crisis. Might I add also? Palin is not of consideration. The VP doesn't have power. Shame on the GOP. McCain would take this country down a road of deceit and good old boys club rallies. Don't do it America…please. Our children's futures are at stake.

Politics as usual by Obama, no surprise here. Move along.

McCain/Palin a pair of crook, you 2 are dangerous for this country.

Obama/Biden

We need someone on the Hill who is aware on foreign affairs and these financial issues at home! Each candidate about taxes this and that both have good issues, I would call them even! Yes even! On foreign affairs my nod goes to McCain. You cannot loligog around with the Russians, China, No Korea Iran, Venzuela $ whoevert else. We've got to put our foot down and strart playing hardball. Obama's suave talk won't get this handled. McCain will surely have Romney on his cabinet who happens to be a pretty good financial genious!(Olympics). McCain/Palin

It's about time they point out how much Senator McCain was in cahoots on this. His words today are pretty and inviting, but his past actions speak far louder than those words; John McCain has favored deregulation for decades and is part of the reason our financial markets and economy are in the melt-down phase. I question if he should even be a Senator anylonger…much less President.

Glad to see the Keating investigation finally being aired. While Senator McCain may not have broken the law, it was clear that he showed poor leadership and failed to take the moral high road. This example of a lack of leadership is exactly why we shouldn't be electing him as our leader.

As for the Bill Ayers ordeal, I would hate to be tied to a man I knew when I was 8 years old. Bill ideas were wrong but a court cleared him of the charges and he has been an active community supporter and recognized college professor since then.

Obama/Biden '08

"Poor Judgement" is what the Senate Ethics Committee said McCain examined. Ain't much change since then.

OBAMA/BIDEN 08

John McCain and Palin are lying crooks. Neither have released their tax records over the last ten years. They both have skeletons in their closets and the nerve to point a finger at Obama just proves how deperate they are.
Refusing to honor a supoenae, both Palin and the first dude tells anyone with a brain that they will do worst if they are elected. They feel that they are above the law.

Where is the Fact Check on this one??? The independent investigator of the Keating Five scandal, Bob Bennett (an admitted Democrat), said the only thing he found McCain guilty of was being an honorable man.

The Obama campaign will stop at nothing to try and smear a great American. I don't know how they sleep at night.

it's funny how the McCain campaign is trying to wiggle out of the same dirt they're throwing out.
The fact is, relationship with Ayres is really a non issue unless you suggest that Obama's judgment is flawed for having any form of contact with Ayres.. I find that stupid, but let's use the same standard to McCain.
Applying that standard to McCain, you can prove that McCain's judgment is even more flawed for accepting favors from Keating, and also not having the judgment to discern between good and bad actions.

I say McCain's judgment is downright dangerous.

This needs to be highlighted and brought to the table. He should be asked about it during the Presidential debates. At the very minimum, he owes an explanation to the American people. Why does McCain become outraged when this issue is brought up??
McCains receiving disability income also needs to be brought up. To be eligible for disability income, one must be nearly permanently disabled and unable to work. McCain needs to return every penny of disability income he has ever received in his life.

I was waiting for them to bring this up. McCain has spent so much time talking about Obama's character rather than the issues, its about time someone called McCain on the stuff in his past. This cost the tax payers billions of dollars to bail out these institutions, and John McCain was at the heart of it. But this wouldn't have come out if he hadn't started trying to label everyone as un-american who doesn't vote for him

It's about time Americans see the reason why John McCain has avoided the financial crisis and used Palin to smear Obama, he didn't want people to know about his involvement with the Keating 5 but Arizonians will never forget. Now investigate McCain's involvement with Silver Bank of Arizona where his son was CEO and left 2 months prior to it's calaspe in August '08 and investors lost millions; John McCain was in Arizona every weekend during this time. FACT.

Exactly…and McCain has the guts to try to question Obama's judgement…

That's right. Fight fire with fire.

The republicans take it to the low road and even though you might want to take the high road, it does not lead to the white house any longer. It didn't work for Kerry or Gore.

Give it right back to them Obama!

Obama/Biden '08

Wow! All supporting comments for Obama… Is there anyone left in America with a dissenting view!? Great job CNN, you've got the best political team liberal money can buy!!

MAKE SURE YOU THROW TROOPERGATE IN THERE AS WELL. IF SHE CAN DISH IT OUT SHE OUGHT TO BE ABLE TO TAKE IT AS WELL.

PAUL BEGALA STATED ON MEET THE PRESS THERE IS OTHER INFORMATION ABOUT JOHN MCCAIN.

THE SWIFTBOATING ISN'T GOING TO WORK THIS TIME

So how does it feel jonnie boy ? Now the gloves are really off! By the way .. new polls released today.. Obama 51% , McShame..43% (From the very conservative Rasmussen!)..
Your ship is sinking GOP swiftboaters.
OBAMA in 30 days !

These smear ads are not going to work this time GOP. Economy, Economy, Economy. GOP have no plan and are trying to change the subject. It will not work, America is smarter and wiser this time around. No more Bush/McCain/Palin

Ha!Ha! The battle begins….GO OBAMA GO….get back at him for his lies/accusations and most importantly bring race into this picture. Has he not heard for EEO…. McCain lacks any kind basic principles. You are a shame to this country and take your hunter Palin with you.

Obama 08

the mcain campain , is really pathetic!!!!!!!!!! no one cares about this kind of garbage.. and he shouldnt even want to walk this treadmill.. considering his ties with the keating five!!!!!!!!!! i want to hear about how i'm going to be able to have affordable healthcare.. and my taxes not be raised.. anyone who falls for this trick.. needs to vot for the sorry mcain.. campaign… they are desprate.. they have nothing else to go on but old stories.. and we wont even go there about sarah palin.. past…..

About time. People want to hear about the economy, not about this kind of stuff, but if the GOP is going to sling the mud, Obama needs to fight back.

Obama got some support from someone who did terrible things 40 years ago – things which Obama has said he does not in any way approve of or support.

Keating 5 is something John McCain himself did – not somebody who supported his campaign. Keating 5 is all about John McCain supporting deregulation, which led to the collapse of a business, which had to be bailed out by the federal government. Sound familiar?

As for Palin, she is trashing Obama for something a supporter of his did, while she and her hubby are refusing to answer subpoenas. Hello??? Where I come from, that lands you in JAIL.

I will take someone with questionable supporters over two people who are themselves questionable!!!

McCain says he was exhonorated of all charges.

But we all know he was guilty.

McCain you lost all the honor you had in my book..you may have served your country honorably then but you are not serving it honorably now. You have not honored yourself in thid campaign..you have disgraced yourself.

I personally like to "nice" Obama, but sometimes youhave to deal with smear tatics. Its about the principle. But that fact that Obama is talking about real issues, and using real eveidence not just snippets and excerpt and disecting them negatively that makes me proud.

Obama/ Biden '08

I thought the Republicans were going to start looking forward and not back. Well so far everything they have said is from Senator Obama's past and refuse to focus on the present. I don't blame one bit for the Obama campaign to bring this up, only I hope they use truthful things and don't go the low road as the GOP has done and use false or distorted claims.

Wow, the McCain camp is getting pathetic… They're rehashing things that are old news. The Obama camp has to respond equivalently with accusations, or else run the risk of appearing weak. It's too bad that John McCain is forcing BOTH parties to take the low road.

Good for Obama! Remember John, mud slings BOTH ways! And with GW in office it's been raining! Hate to see them go negitive but we can not afford another swiftboated president.

After all the mud that has been slung at Sen. Obama about Rev. Wright, Tony Resko, and everything else including questioning his heritage all I can say is this:

It's about time he gave a little of what he's been taking for all of these months! I just wonder how long it will be before Sen. McCain comes out with a poor pitiful Ex-POW commercial. Sen. McCain's matra seems to be when you can't attack, play on the sympathies of the people. That's how I want my leadership to act! Let's ignore the issues and go after the individual. That's just sad.

if mccain wants to turn this campaign dirty so be it. if he and palin can dish it out…you better be able to take it too. shame on them for running a immature, sleezy and lying campaign. cant handle the issues that americans care about…turn to sleeze. this will only backfire more for mccain and the polls will get worse. the very thought of palin in the white house if something happens to mccain is the deal breaker for most of us. very scary.

NOW is the PERFECT TIME to point out McCain has a history of being involved in Bank DeREGULATION. His hands are dirty with the GREED of the banking industry. As President he would once againg give the RICH more and let the poor get porrer.

AFTER ALL HIS LIES NO ONE CAN TRUST HIM. IF YOU CAN'T TRHUST A MAN YOU CAN NOT VOTE FOR HIM

Obama is a man with a plan. A Visoin for the future. He knows the road will be hard but knows Americans can over come the hardships brought upon them by BUSH.

This shows McCain's economic philosophy, it's fundamentally wrong.

About time…

FINALLY!!

What comes around, goes around. McCain and Palin started this negative campaign with their lies and now they deserve to have their reputations drug thru the mud too. Obama should of also put in the ad that Palin is currently under investigation in her state for miss using her powers as Governor along with the McCain Keating 5 information. If the McCain camp wants to run sleezy ads then they should expect to receive the same treatment back.

What about Obama's questionable ties?
He needs more silk, less synthetic.
Ties, that is.

McCain was absolved of any wrongdoing. I think the obama people should say this, otherwise they are presenting just a half of the story.

Didn't know much about economics back then…doesn't know much about economics now. Just knows which side his bread is buttered on obviously.

We deserve better…

McCain = poor judgment

John Kerry lost the last election because he didn't fight back. I applaud Obama for fighting back. WITH FACTS no less.

People are registering Democrat in key states, and Republicans are hoping these new voters won't vote on November 4th. Let's Prove Them Wrong.

WRIGHT, REZCO, AYERS….OLD NEWS…..IT DIDN'T WORK WHEN HILLARY TRIED TO USE IT IN THE PRIMARIES….

PLEASE…………

OBAMA —- TRIED — TO —- AVOID —- THIS !!!!!

BUT MCCAIN AND THAT SLIMY LIPSTICKED BULLDOG SARAH PALIN WON'T STOP SLINGING MUD!!!!

So after 19 months, Obama is forced to start fighting back.

McCain, I will be glad when you're DONE!!!!

Palin is an attack chihouhoua, McCain should have just picked Tina Fey, Palin is a joke!!!!!!!!!!!

TO ALL FELLOW AMERICANS, MCSHAME/PALIN ARE JUST DESPRATE AND WORN OUT.

WHAT'S GOOD THE THE GANDER IS SOOO GOOD FOR THE GOOSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA/BIDEN 08

The McCain camp has resorted to diggin through the past because they are desperate…Obama has again used his counterpunch.

Obama-Biden 08
True Change!

Is this true? In light of the recent financial crisis, I would like to hear more about this.

All I can say is this: FINALLY.

After the McCain camp's slander over Obama's ties (or rather lack thereof) with Ayers, they deserve to have their candidate put on the spot. Unlike the OBAMA-IS-A-TERRORIST smears, the Keating Five scandal is a matter of public record—as in, there are facts (wow!).

Maybe Sarah Palin did not read this information about the other maverick.. Oh that's right she doesn't read.. I find it funny she references an article in a newspaper, she doesn't read.. Everything she says is downloaded in her tiny little brain.. Dumb and Dumber are the candidates on the Republican ticket..

It is also extremely important to note the concession today by the McCain campaign that their health care plan would involve significant cuts to Medicare.

Finally the Obama campaign is gonna hit McCain where it hurts…..oh and by the way you ntice how in the debate sarah palin says not to look backwards but forwards…..she can't have it both ways…palin is a joke

The gloves are off and it's on like a pot of neck bones! McCain and Palin want to hit below the belt and Obama is throwing punches right back at them! Get em’ Obama!

YES WE CAN!

THE KEATING FIVE:

Alan Cranston (D-CA)
Dennis DeConcini (D-AZ)
John Glenn (D-OH)
Donald W. Riegle (D-MI)
AND
John McCain (R-AZ)

GOOGLE 'KEATING FIVE;, READ AND WAKE UP PEOPLE!

Keating is the real danger alright. Why even bother with the other candidate who has been steeped in radicalism his entire life?

Nothing to see here.

The Keating 5…look it up, do your research, know your candidate Republicans. The corruption, the scandal, the selling out of the American people.

John McCain is out of touch, out of ideas and he is running out of time.

VOTE FOR OBAMA
VOTE FOR DEMOCRATS

When is Obama going to admit his poor judgement and turn over the millions of illegal contributions coming from unknown sources in the Middle East?

It looks like all the McCain camp has left are bogus arguments and historically inaccurate allegations that have been out for months and years. All this stuff was around during the primary process and the electorate in charge of choosing the party nominees voted state by state to have Obama carry their message to the White House. It looks like Sean Hannity-type operatives are now in charge of the campaign and message — and the sliver of undecided's, independent's and moderates who have yet to commit have a choice of buying it or not!

Mccain and some of his Republican friends are "Economic Terrorist"…

Obama must balance attacks with offering concrete plans for America's future. The only thing McCain has left are false attacks. He has absolutely no clue on how to solve America's current woes.

Why did Senator McCain Go to Jail?

Look at what his wife Cindy McCain and son Andrew K McCain did to Salt Lake State Bank I see it runs in the family??

Again the McCain 's are not held accountable for the actions…

Please send the McCain family to Jail!!!!!!

Did you forget that McCain wasn't charged and even praised for his cooperation? McCain has the same involvment in this as did John Glenn, a democrat "star"

this is non-news and if this is the worse you can come up with, then John McCain is obviously a great politician

CNN, I hope that you guys do your jobs & show this ad over & over again just like you have subjected us to Sarah Failin's lunatic attacks all day yesterday & today. They want to attack Barack for someone he was on a board with that committed an act when he was 8, but John McCain was directly involved in this corruption scandal. This is huge because it is the exact same thing that we just went through with the Wall Street attack.
John McCain needs to tell Miss Moosebreath to shut her trap because now it's on. She has too many skeletons in her closet to be throwing bs bombs.

Also I am in Nashville, TN & we have the town decked out for Barack for tomorrow's debate. McPalin's a joke!!!! Go Barack!!!!!

About time.

O8ama !

What goes around, comes around. It's sad that Obama has to respond to the lame distraction and diversion tactics that the McLame campaign has now resorted to. Since McCain has nothing new to offer other than Obama's stolen slogans, he's sunk to where he has nothing left to campaign on. Pathetic.

Just say NO to Bush 44.

Looks like Obama can smear with the best of them. Why don't the Obamabots start preaching to him? When he does it, it is justified and when McCain does it, it is "swift-boating"? First, learn the definition of "swift-boating" and second, realize that your "savior" Obama is nothing more than a filthy politician.

the economy stupid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MEOW ***** gnarl

This is becoming like the Kevin Bacon game. How many degrees of separation can put your opponent to a crook? Ayers is at least 3 degrees to Obama, Keating is less.

About time the did this.

When is someone from the so-called christian right going to denounce Sarah Palin’s glorification of alcohol. She knew a lot of kids and young adults were watching the debates yet that didn’t stop her from refering to herself as JOE SIXPACK AMERICAN. She should be required to enroll in AA.

MADD needs to put out an ad against this.

Reveal who millionaire McCain is, let American people know him.

Uh oh. Here comes trouble for McCain. After all the smears on Obama, he wouldn't think he'd get away with Keating 5 would he?

Now that's palling around!! Sarah Palin is a cancer to this election.

Yeah, let's compare Obama's direct ties to Chicago mobsters and American terrorists to McCain being cleared of any wrong doing by the sitting prosecutor..

It is about time the American people know why McCain claims he does not know much about Economics.(hiding Keating five scandal)

It is about time the American people know that this kind of Financial mess is not new to John McCain ,he has been destroying the American financial system for decades!!

It is about time the American people know McCain is worse than Bush.

It is about time the American people say to McCain Enough is Enough!!!

America loves to build people up just to tear them down, and McCain and Obama will each be receiving hate from half the country…. this show is in it's third act. I believe these are both great man, but politics is cut-throat, that's just the nature of the beast, and ANYONE who enters the arena knows this and practices it. Americans that are too delusional or self-righteous to accept this fact are living in a different world.

Good for the Obama camp. If Mccain wants to fight, then lets get the boxing gloves ready!

Obama 08

About time they bring this up!

Awsome now that we are on the character topic McCain will be on the defense because his crap stinks a lot more.

Good attack ad! Obama needs to keep them coming, responding aggressively and proactively to McCain's Rove-tactics of lies and fear.

its about time.

The fear tactics from McCain are vomitous. They have NOTHING to say for how they will make America Stronger! At least this goes to the very weak moral fiber of John McCain!

I
am
Barack Obama
and I do not play politics as usual,

uh until I need to do it to win.

OBAMA IS NOT CHANGE.

I LOVE IT.

IF MCSAME WANTS TO PLAY DIRTY, OBAMA IS GOING TO STICK IT TO HIM.

THIS OLD 72YR FUMBLING BUMBLING TWAT IS TOAST.

It is unbelievable that John McCain has decided to use these kinds of tactics in such trying times. I need someone who can help me put my child through college, maintain my job and retire with dignity. Smears started by the McCain camp and Sara Palin who has enough skeletons in her closet does not help me meet my goals.

Let's elect a president willing to fight on the issues not smear their oponents. I am glad however, that Obama is fighting back.

Ah yes, the Candidate of Change, the "post-political" candidate, one who was going to bring us all together in a spirit of peace and unity, to join us all together in hand and sing Kumbaya… yeah, to where did that guy go?

I guess this is retaliation for the ugly smears now being pinned on Sen. Obama. Palin and McCain are a dishonour to their party and religion, having broken a few of the ten commandments. If they were Catholic they'd mostly likely have to live in a confession box.

NOW HEARS THE STORY!

How did McCain get away with it? With Cindy's connections maybe?

How did McCain GET AWAY WITH IT?

JOHN MCCAIN:

OUT OF TOUCH

OUT OF IDEAS

ALMOST OUT OF TIME

DESPERATE

Don't forget to bring up…..

G.Gordon Liddy
The Bonanno Mob family
Sarah Palin – Troopergate
Sara Palin – Alaska Independence Party

Okay, this is on point. But Barack, keep your head above the fray. Don't stoop, no matter what. People who have to play dirty do so because they have no skill. This is what REAL (soccer/hockey/softball/water polo) moms teach!

millionaire Mccain is done!!!!!!!!!!! you can't fool american people, period.

McCain asked for it and he got it.

And before you McCain supporters get on here screaming "I told you so" about how Obama is a dirty politician and supposed to be running a clean campaign, you need to take a look at the FACT that your candidate stated he was going to run a clean and respectable campaign…NOT!

We keep trying to tell you folks that Obama is NOT John Kerry and he will not stand for the swiftboating and not hit back. I personally didn't want him to go down this road but sometimes you just gotta get down and dirty with the best of them!!! On that note…

SIC' 'EM BO!!!!

How ironic, McCain wants to compare his judgement as a US Senator against Obama's when he was 8 years old. This speaks much more about McCain's lack of judgement. The fact that his is so poor, the best he can do is draw comparison to someone when they were a child. Give me a Break! McCain and Palin are pitiful.

Now should I repeat all of the Obamabot claims from the story above? "how desperate," He'll do anything to win an election." "What a slimy smear."

McCain was exonerated.

Why don't McCain offer any solutions on how to solve the economic crisis?

As long as we're talking about connections to crooks, right John?

As many of us have been screeming, the Keating Five is far more revelant than any of this Ayers, Rezko stuff. McCain was right in the middle of this scnadel which ironically was part of the last big Wall Street mess in the country.

"It's obvious that Barack Obama is frantically attacking because he knows that most voters find these kinds of friendships, and the failed judgment they expose, to be unacceptable for our next president."

LMAO, look who's talking! Ridiculous hypocritical Republicans!

About time!! There is a time for politics and playing nice, and there is a time for a hand-to-hand fight, and counterattack. Time for politics and playing nice has come and gone.

Oh please. McCain was exhonorated after the investigation.

That is the perfect photo of crooked Keating 5 McBush. Looking Angry and Confused.

It's about time they bring this out!! AIR IT ON TV BARACK!

THANK YOU!!!

from a real combat vet.

I do not like Obama dissing our troops. Don't forget our troops gave us the freedom we enjoy today.

If Obama thinks combat is easy why did he avoid going to Iraq and Afghanistan early and often.

Obama is a jerk for saying this, "

"We've got to get the job done there and that requires us to have enough troops so that we're not just air-raiding villages and killing civilians, which is causing enormous pressure over there," Obama said of the U.S. mission in Afghanistan.

Obama I 'm glad your fighting fire with fire but also staying on message…don't forget that Pail has some bad stuff in her background too….USE those!

OBAMA 08

The McCain camp want to sling mud and point fingers. Well there are three pointing back at ya in the words of Sarah. Deal with it now.

as they should. the current crises is similar in nature, because of DE -regulation. republicans are tanking our country,and john mccain is leading them. he is far from being an honorable man. palin's attacks are baseless lies and the mccain camp. will pay at the polls. did anyone know john mccain just voted for a bill containing $140 billion in earmarks? he just made himself famous and we all know his name. if he vetoes beer,again, he's finished.

McCain: unfit for command!

McCain left Obama no choice, if he just sick to the issues Obama could focus on what America needs.
But this is why the Mccain camp is in the mess it's in

Obama/Biden 2008-Until

American people know John McCain, but who is Barrack Obama?

McCain should be ashamed of himself.

McshameBushPalin, Let's go back to the issues. If you have nothing more to offer, then give up and campain for Obama/Biden!
The more you attack, distract, theunpopular you become>
Remember, we"l decide.

This will not help Obama to much on this ad. It is not going to affect the over 40 vote. Everybody knows about it and that John McCain along with John Glenn a democrat was exonerated with no ties. It was mainly a democrat scandal that caused the democrats to lose their seats and the ones who went to jail were all democrat (politicians). This was during a democrat congress with them holding the majority.

Who's getting desperate in the last days? It looks like Obama is very desperate! If Democrats would have voted for John McCains bill to oversee Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac this whole financial meltdown would not have happened! And you want to hand over our government to the Democrats! That would be treason in my book!

If Obama was a viable candidate he would be ahead by double digits.

There are way too many questions that haven't been answered yet about Obama-including his Birth Certificate!

Vote for experience and a proven track record!

McCain/Palin-08 In a Landslide!

With all the junk that McCain has been drudging up, this was bound to come up. McCain fights dirty and should have expected it

Yep and guess what? It's relevant!! McCain is the King Deregulator!

John McCain's ties to bank scandals of the past make him "unacceptable for our next president" in a time of economic crisis such as this. McCain has absolutely no authority to speak about economics and in fact is a huge part of the reason that we're in such an economic hole today. He should do the honorable thing and step aside, but we all know that the McCain campaign is anything but honorable.

How desperate can Obama get? Bringing up a non-issue from over 20 years ago? Did Obama get the memo? John McCain was cleared

Kind of tough changing the conversation away from the economy that the Reptilicans have created since those glory days of St. Ron Reagan. First the S&L debacle and now this!

I believe during this election, we the American people are going to tell the Greedy Old Party that ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!

Wow its about to get really ugly now!

This is tit for tat . McCain is getting a taste of his own medicine

Check Mate!

Yes!! Take the gloves off Sen. Obama. If they want to run a smear campaign based on lies, we can run a smear campaign based on the truth. I've been waiting for you to call him out on this. Let's talk about why Sen. McLame really left his first wife. McLame has so much dirt, he is so easy to expose.

OBAMA/BIDEN 08

Finally, we see some flexing of the muscle. Go Obama! Don't let them "swift boat" you.

FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Way to strike back Obama. If Obama runs this country like he has brilliantly run his campaign this country will be great again! But you forgot troopergate, AIP, DEREGULATION, Witch Palin to name a few.
mccain/palin = pathological liars!

PERFECT!!!!
THIS IS SO RELEVANT!!!!!!!

Well….Its that time….Anythings Possible NOW

Mr Rogers,
It is the McCain campaign who has begun this mud slinging. There is no responsibility you won't shirk, no truth you will not distort, no lie you will not tell to achieve your goal of POWER.
You and your ilk are THROUGH. Deal with it.

Two Democrats went to jail. 'Nuff said.

a response to the previous post;

dear "truly American",
You are the very worst kind of citizen. It would be good for all of us to remember that the last refuge of a scoundrel is patriotism.
Just saying you are "truly american" is an insult to the millions of us who really ARE.
I have a hard time believing anyone who wraps themselves in the flag to insult someone else.

Finally!

Give it to him Obama! An eye for an eye!

Frankly I think he's waited too long to give McCain a taste of his own medicine.

Two can play the game!
