Obama Says Keating Five Not Off-Limits
Portland, OR–
Senator Barack Obama responded to comments Oregon Congressman, Peter DeFazio made at a town hall yesterday while introducing the Democratic frontrunner. DeFazio mentioned Senator John McCain’s association with the Keating Five savings and loan scandal, “He says we need less regulation? Hello! Wall Street mortgage meltdown, Bear Stearns taxpayer bail out, Enron, but you know, I guess maybe for a guy who was up to his neck in the Keating Five and saving and loan scandal less regulation is better.”
When the superdelegate introduced Obama at a rally in Eugene, OR later that night he did not repeat the hit questioning McCain’s ethics.
Today, in Bend, OR, Obama was asked if the dig was fair game. He began by trying to separate DeFazio’s attack from himself, but said the information is out in the open and therefore appropriate to bring up, “I don’t have any doubt that John McCain’s public record about issues that he’s apologized for and written about is not germane to the presidency,” Obama continued referencing an earlier question, “You know, I was just asked previously about a whole host of issues and associations that were a lot more flimsy than John McCain’s relationship to Keating Five. What I’ve said is, you know, I can’t quarrel with the American people wanting to know more about that and me having to answer questions about that.”
Obama was asked about Republican attacks on his patriotism, something he brought up at the rally last night.
The McCain campaign’s Tucker Bounds responded to the Keating Five mention, “Apparently Obama’s lively calls for ‘new politics’ ended today and politics-as-usual emerged, because his campaign spokesman said just yesterday that this is an issue they didn’t intend to discuss. If Barack Obama doesn’t have the strength to stand up to his own standards, how is he going to stand up for hardworking Americans who need a strengthened economy? ”
The Democratic frontrunner may have an opportunity to have it out with McCain in person soon. Some of McCain’s advisers have suggested holding town hall style debates with Obama and today he agreed, “I think that’s a great idea–that’s a great idea. Obviously we would have to think through the logistics on that,” Obama told reporters, “But to the extent that I, should I be the nominee, if I have the opportunity to debate substantive issues before the voters with John McCain that’s something that I am going to welcome.

The Senate Committee Chairman of the Keating Five Investigation (a Democratic) recommended that Senator McCain be dismissed from the Keating Five Investigation for lack of credible evidence against him. His recommendation was “overruled” by the then Senate Democrat majority. To do so would mean a Keating Four (all Democrats). A simple case of pure hardball Washington politics! So Obama is the one that will bring about real CHANGE! Now Obama says the Keating Five is not off-limits. A campaign based on the critical issues now facing our country…right! Voters are much smarter than you think Obama! You sir are a pure counterfeit!
I guess you received the FOX talking points memo, since that’s exactly what Robert Bennett, McCain lawyer, said on Fox this year. Why did McCain ever bother to apologize? Hope at least he enjoyed his vacations in the Bahamas with Keating… and the $300,000 he received from him.
In 1991 the Senate Ethics Committee ruled that all members of the Keating Five were guilty of “questionable conduct.” The idea that the scandal topic should be “off limits” when Reverend Wright’s comments are not is ridiculous.
Obama is a hypocrite.
He has taken more money from sleazebuckets than anyone.
“In 1991 the Senate Ethics Committee ruled that all members of the Keating Five were guilty of “questionable conduct.”

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!
you could indict every member of congres(..and that includes BHO) on “questionable conduct”, just change the dates and the political makeup of the so-called “ethics committee”…you obama supporters are a bunch of losers!
…is that all you got? be careful how low you set the bar in order to smear john mcamenesty!

what a disgrace.
how can john McCaine allow his campaign to be associated with people who treat human beings like trash.this is not good news for McCaine. goes to show you what type of character there is
in picking up people to represent him
look at the devastation and suffering of those people.
THAT IS SHAMEFUL
Federal employees are subject to background checks and random drug testing; do people running for office need to comply with these same requirements? Every candidate should go through a rigorous background check before being allowed to run for office! The media is a separtate venue. There is no mention of politicians in the reform mentioned below.

Dwight.
Have you ever heard of a guy named Raila Odinga?
He is Obama’s cousin in Kenya.
Obama even campaigned personally for cousin Odinga last summer.
Please check out how that election worked out.
Obama is personally involved with his cousin
Dick Morris was Odinga’s campaign adviser. Check him out at YouTube. Just search Odinga, Dick Morris. Morris certainly helps Obama too. His job is to defame Hillary Clinton. At least it appears that way.
Obama’s campaign adviser held secret talks with Hamas. They are ours and Israel’s sworn enemy.
I don’t think Myammar is our enemy.
typo,”Myanmar” is not our enemy.
Hey all you Obama lovers - I hve gone door to door in SC and my cousin door to door in
VA - between the two of us we have over 1600 names of people who signed a pledge to vote for anyone other than Obama in the General Election - we now have gather the aide of my 83 year old mother who is hitting the senior citizen gang at her bridge club, country club and lunch groups, my brother is hitting his neighbor and all the builders and carpenters he knows, my sister who is hitting the dance groups in Virginia and DC ballet companies, we have a cousin in Richmond who has enlisted her family and friends. I have now enlisted some of my fellow nurses in SC, NC, GA and TN we are starting this program and with only a week and two of us have 1648 names, this will grow, it is going to the DNC, our congressman, our senators, and some are willing to have their names published in an ad that the very SC paper that back Obama will print….We can use the Richmond Times Dispatch in VA - we also have people working the University of Virginia young democrat and the area of Charlottesville. I am asking every friend, in-law, cousin and co-worker I have to sign and if they can help get names so be it.
Anybody but Obama -
HI BRENDA!! GOOD FOR YOU - SIGN ME UP!
I and MILLIONS like me will never vote for obama - not because of race or gender or even that he is so ARROGANT - but because he is NOT QUALIFIED. The DNC is a disgrace to think obama is a viable candidate to lead our country - it is the DNC and media that have pushed Senator Clinton out and we will NOT “fall in line” in November.
Actually, McCain is pretty good - anybody BUT OBAMA!
FACTS;
VOTER FRAUD - NC State officials looking into votes counted twice - for obama
Obama campaign advisor - left campaign - was having “private talks” with HAMAS!
This is not someone we want for President - Americans will never vote for a RADICAL with a Questionable background who is NOT QUALIFIED
Why does McBush insist on calling Obama experienced?I can’t wait til Obama makes McCain out of an A$$.Hey McCain, let’s talk about why you voted for waterboarding. Let’s talk about why you voted against giving MLK his own holiday. Let’s talk about why you are glad to have the endorsement of a pastor who thinks the Catholic church is the “great ####”. Let’s talk about why you are glad to have the endorsement of a pastor who believes Katrina was God’s judgement on homosexuals. Let’s talk about why you are glad to have the endorsement of a pastor who thinks 9/11 was the fault of the “abortionists”, the homosexuals, and the ACLU; and that they deserved it. Let’s talk about why you don’t want our troops to get an improved GI Bill because you think if we treat them too well, they might not want to fight anymore wars. Let’s talk about why in 2005 you thought a permanent presence in Iraq was bad, but in 2008 you think it is essential. Let’s talk about why Bush’s tax cuts offended your conscience in 2003, but in 2008 you think it is essential to make them permanent. Let’s talk about why you think corporations are more deserving of tax cuts than middle class Americans. Let’s talk about why you called your wife a c**t in public. Let’s talk about how you got free rides on corporate jets in exchange for favors. Let’s talk about how you not only want to keep fighting the war in Iraq forever, but you also want to fight a war in Iran, and anywhere else George Bush tells you. Let’s talk about the Keating 5. Let’s talk about the possiblity that you were brainwashed at the Hanoi Hilton and now you want to infiltrate our government and destroy it from the inside. Yes, Mr. McCain, let’s have a discussion.

_____________________________________________________________________________
The above statement from Jeff X tells you all you need to no about these right-wing radicals. They say and do anything in an attempt to get their candidate elected.
The advisor (Robert Malley) that YOU are talking about was not Obama’s CAMPAIGN LEADER, in fact, he was an INFORMAL advisor to Obama that didn’t even have direct communication with Obama. And, he talked with Hamas on his own accord because Malley’s paid job is with the International Crisis Group, which requires him to meet with Hamas and others.
Here is a quote from Robert Malley “”My job with the International Crisis Group is to meet with all sorts of savory and unsavory people and report on what they say. I’ve never denied whom I meet with; that’s what I do.” Malley always informs the State Department in advance and briefs them afterward.
Robert Malley decided that once the London times contacted him about his meeting with Hamas he didn’t want to play any role with Obama’s camp because he could see how people would use it as another distraction to smear Obama and misrepresent the truth (no sh@t!).
Robert Malley said he has not played any role in the campaign other than as a very informal advisor. But, he added, “once it hits the Times of London it becomes too much of a distraction, especially since the McCain campaign seems to want to make this an issue.”
Yeah, right-wing idiots like Jeff X will tell anyone that would listen to his BS that Robert Malley is Barack Obama’s campaign leader and an intrigal player on his staff. This man was an informal advisor to Obama and his job requires him to speak with groups like Hamas. If I was a candidate I would want a line of communication to a person like that to feed me information on groups like Hamas so I’d know what they are all about. Why would you want to be blind to what any group is doing and saying if you are a leader or candidate to be leader of a nation!
The Obama campaign didn’t fire him or ask him to leave, he left on his own because he didn’t want another distraction to the Obama campaign. He shouldn’t have left because if he can speak with the State department to brief them why can’t Obama be briefed on the situation as well…… Oh, yeah, the right-wing radicals want to twist the truth!!!!
COMMENT TO BRENDA;
Great Hillary Site - wwwhillaryclintonforum.net
Sorry - we do NOT allow trolls - they are watching you and you cannot be PAID like on other sites to post pro-obama stuff. What a DISGRACE
This election is NOT LEGAL - and Americans know it - it is being STOLEN by Obama - BUT thankfully the GOP will not let this happen - maybe I can have Faith in another party because this party is a DISGRACE!
Contribute to Hillary. I gave $50 a couple days ago.
And for anyone to say the Keating Five situation should be off limits, especially when it deals with a savings and loan issue and a U.S. Senator and in the same breath say Rev. Wright should be a topic of discussion is a complete IDIOT!
These are the same people that represent the 28% of Americans that believe George Bush is doing a great Job as President!

the only thing obama thinks is off limits are questons about him. He doesn’t want wright brought up anymore -answered, wifes comments-move on-connections with many others-lets talk about policies. well obama, even when you tell us about this change you have people thinking you want to bring, you never give a straight answer. and if uh was a word, you set a record for mose uses in one sentence. race is ok if it in your favor. so, I say let him bring this up. there is so much sh7t on obama now that it won’t matter. I have left the dem. party to vote for mccain. I don’t think I am alone.
You have to love the republican supported FOXNEWS network!
They sensor anything pertaining to the truth when it’s against the republicans! It’s hillarious!
Freaking hypocrites…..

Yeah, talking about a savings and loan scandal shouldn’t be discussed because it really doesn’t affect the American people! Let’s talk about Rev. Wright because that’s more important!
We don’t care about the EMRONS of the world and how they rip off the American people, we need to talk about a candidates preacher because that’s really what’s affecting our nation! LOL!
Yeah, being from a small town must mean you have your head up your arse!
Since most people haven’t noticed, this is not a conventional race with conventional maps.Obama has changed the game for the Democrats & made them competitive in much more states.We all know the blue states will automatically go Obama.I think to everyone’s surprise he’ll pull an upset with IN(IL’s neighbor).When Obama first started this race they said he could not win the predominantly white states which he did.The pundits can predict all they want, but I think he will do much better than anyone expects.What the pundits don’t understand is that most people would vote for Mickey Mouse over 100 years of war.And McCain makes Rev Wright look like an angel.———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————–THIS WAS MY POST 2 WEEKS AGO.IF MY PREDICTIONS KEEP GOING THE SAME JOHN MCCAIN IS TOAST!!!!
ok
Tim you are a socialist idiot, you are so in the tank for someone who doesn’t even like his country, do you feel good about that? If you do why don’t you get the hell out, move to France dumbazz
we can talk about hamas. they have more of a word than our own people. dont fool yourself.
you dont want to face the fact that they have became stronger under republican control. now yes we all have to talk about them and deal with them.we as a nation will be stronger than thier voice. also lets not mention duringin past years north korea became
a nuclear threat, under republican watch. thier will be a change, you can smell it in the air.
live with it change is inevitable
vote no for mccaine vote no for the same 8 years.
are you better off today ? that will be answered in november
One topic that I hope is on the table is whether McInsane is suffering from untreated Post Traumatic Stress Disorder due to the years he suffered as a POW. It is a legitimate question. McInsane’s temperament, calling his own wife a c#nt in public, and statements from fellow conservative republican senators, i.e. former New Hampshire Senator Bob Smith that McInsane was unfit to be POTUS raise serious questions about McInsane. These topics are more important than Rev. Wright, although McInsane and the whole republican party for that matter have nutty minister issues if you want walk that road.

=============================================================
You do know that Obama receives money from companies involved in the savings and loan problems such as, Lehman Bros, Citigroup, Morgan Stanley, etc.? So I don’t think bringing that up as a topic is such a good idea for you. Actually investment and banking firms are one of the biggest donors to the Dems, even more than unions. But keep up the good work.
yes the saving and loan scandal will be addressed. it shows a track record. now land deals.
all that is showing a pattern. who is looking out for who ?
also loook at what mccaine said we should deregulate the savings institution. look at what
we are doing now trying to bail out all thesel oans, that in its own way is socialism. think how did we get to this? combination of weak dollar, energy dependance , bad trade negotiations in all
making the richer rich. if you were to look at dick cheneys portfolio you would see connections with where he started and now . smart in investments in oil ,,hmmm. looking out for # 1 .chaina is starting to own our banking industry. thanks to 8 great yrs of doing nothing .
we need a change we do not need this for 4 more years.

You know. people kepp bringing up things like that about McCain. But what about Obama. He makes constant slips such as “57 states,” “100 million in Myanmar,” he seems to forget what he wants to say and has to pause to think his answers through alot, and he has to correct what he has said previously, I mean’….
“African-Americans may be more likely to develop Alzheimer’s disease.* Some of the possible reasons are that we have higher rates of blood pressure and diabetes, all risk factors for Alzheimer’s.”
http://www.alz.org/living_with_alzheimers_african_americans.asp
Not any sillier than all the conjecture about McCain.
I would like to thank the MSM, Hillary Clinton,FOX NEWS, and the GOP for thourghly vetting our next PRESIDENT. Now if there are no further questions, Sentor Obama please commence in setting the U.S of A. back on course to peace and prosperity.
HELLO–EARTH TO McAIN AND HILLARY SUPPORTERS–IS ANYBODY HOME
I guess you haven’t heard yet, the Rev Wright thing has run its course. HELLO–there’s no more mileage you can getout of it until the general election. Apparently the people have spoken at the ballot box and guess what?–They don’t give a $%#@ about it. Obviously the only ones it did bother are all on this site
EARTH TO HILL & McCAIN SUPPORTERS–All the anti-Obama stuff that you spew all day long, day after day with the exact same post to the exact same people, is so old and tiresome. In case you haven’t noticed all your diatribes aren’t making a bit of difference outside in the real world
Let’s talk about this Keating 5 scandal for a second. I’d like to offer the Republicans some free political advice, from the other side. Listen, when you end up with a political candidate that is so completely full of sh*t - that’s it’s not even funny - that’s when you need a good diversion strategy.
Because - and you’ve just got to trust me on this - the last thing you want to be trying to explain the first week of November - is why your candidate accepted 112,000 dollars from some crook who helped bilk the American people out of billions of dollars. To be fair, no one needs to be reminded of how their friends’ grandparents lost their lifesavings and had to eat cat food and spam for the rest of their days in a cold-water flat.
Now, this method requires a little preparation - but is relatively easy to execute.
It’s called:
Operation J5
Florida Democrats,
Don’t tolerate Howard Dean’s and Barack Obama’s oppression of the American voter - don’t let them silence our voice!
We will not support a party which has fought to deny our right to participate in our election process. Barack Obama and the Democratic Party have used their power to deny rather than defend our rights as American voters - they have fought to silence our voice! This isn’t the Soviet Union! This isn’t a dictatorship! This is America - we must defend our right to vote!
Reject your membership in the Democratic Party - it no longer represents America’s values and no longer defends our rights!
Continued
Here’s how Operation J5 works:
So this liberal comes up and asks you about McCain’s involvement in the Keating Five scandal.
You just tell this flag-burning commie that of course McCain was involved – in fact he was responsible for some of the best music they ever put out – before they changed their name of course.
ABSOLUTELY WE MUST DEFEND OUR RIGHT TO VOTE
THATS WHY THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY HAD SUCH HUGE VOTER SIGN UP AND VOTING .
YES DEFEND YOUR RIGHT TO VOTE AND DONT FOLLOW 8 MORE YEARS OF THIS NONSENSE.
YOU WANT MCCAINE TO DEREGULATE BANKING INDUSTRY?
LOOK WHAT WE GOT WHEN THEY DEREGULATED THE ELECTRIC COMAPANIES.
I BET YOU CAN SEE IT ON THAT MONTHLY BILL.
DO YOU WANT SOME MORA, FLORA, ARE YOU ALRIGHT IDA.
FLORIDIANS WILL VOTE WITH THERE POCKET , THEY SHOULD KNOW BETTER.
EX FLORIDA LET YOUR CONSCIENCE BE YOUR GUIDE
Operation J5 Continued
That’s when you press the button.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQLZmGybUXU
And explain that The Keating 5 was the first name of the group
- before they changed it.
obama will play dirty so mccain must stop playing nice and play dirtier politics. the real obama is coming out. larry sinclair and obama’s anti-american friend and multitude of lies is now fair game. mcccain must not buck down if he is accused of racism. enough b.s. let the american people know the real obama. it’s about time!
Obama, Howard Dean and the Democratic Party can go to Hell!
SIMPLE
THE MAJORITY WILL SEE THE LIGHT.
WHAT HAVE YOU DONE FOR ME LATLEY????
CRY AND WEEP IF YOU ASK FOR MORE OF WHAT WE ARE LIVING THRU.
CORRECT HELL !!
CHANGE IN NOVEMBER .
If Senator Obama wins, I will support him. Especially after the experts say that his gas tax plan is the best. After all, Rev. Wright won’t be standing at the gas pump when we are filling up our tanks at $7.00 a gallon.
Hillary needs to split from the dems if all the superdelegates go for Obama. She needs to run as an Independent and have Lieberman as VP. She would win and it would destroy the LIBS.
Yes- Libs=Socialism
Sunshine- Thats real smart align yourself with the inept leftwing that has put us in this gas mess. Brilliant
Oh no Obama is the logical one.Senile McCain is talking about 100 yr war, & Clinton is still running for the dem nod she lost almost a week ago.Obama appears the one most sane!
Obama has racial hatred built up, he will set this country back another 200 years
LOL!
get real,
take the advice of your own name.
get real,
This war, which your buddy Bush put on the backs of this country are part of the reason of these skyrocketing gas prices, not to mention what your buddy Bush has done to wreck the economy, weaken the dollar, and lie throught his whole tenure. Not to mention he just looks plain stupid when he talks.
Bigots
Ok, why don’t you get real, we would be better off if you wrote in your name on the ballot, DUMBAZZ
The Keating 5 is fair game. it shows McCain’s total lack of judgment and prevailing greed!
Nobody said Bush was worth a crap either, and as far as looks go Obama looks like Gumby. None of these candidates should be president sure as hell not a racist like Obama
GET REAL.
HILLARY WILL NOT RUN INDEPENDENT.
SHE WONT HAVE THE CASH NOR THE VOTES.
JUST REPUBLICAN PLOY, GET REAL
GET REAL , GET YOUR BEARINGS , DO SOMETHING CONSTRUCTIVE
SCRATCHING FOR ANYTHING CAIN LOVERS
get real,
you have a huge chip on your shoulder. why would we be better off if I wrote my name on the ballot?
From American Thinker
Question remain
Why would Barack Obama have on his foreign policy staff a man who has been widely criticized for a revisionist history of the Middle East peace process sharply at odds with all other accounts of the proceedings?
Why would Barack Obama give credibility to a man who seems to have an agenda that includes empowering our enemies and weakening our friends and allies?
How did Robert Malley, with a record of writing that reveals a willingness to twist facts to serve a political agenda, come to be appointed by Obama to his foreign staff?
Was it a recommendation of Zbigniew Brzezinski to bring on board another anti-Israel foreign policy expert?
What role did the left-wing anti-Israel activist George Soros play in placing Robert Malley (or for that matter, Brzezinski himself) in a position to influence the future foreign policy of America?
What does it say about Senator Obama’s judgment that he appointed a man like Malley to be a top foreign policy advisor?
Or does it speak more to his true beliefs?
______________
I guess not vetting advisors is an answer exceptable to the MSM these days after all the DNC didn’t vet Obama..or did they. That is one thing that bothers me…Is Ted Kennedy and the DNC really Anti-Isreal..? It all has me confussed…Even if Obama was ignorant of Malley’s history…the DNC and Democratic Leaders in the DNC weren’t…
get real, atleast we have that in common…. bush is not worth a darn. I’ll take gumby.
It has to be painful to vote for someone who refuses to say the pledge of allegiance, well for some of you that despise what America has done for you socialists I understand. Just move and leave the US. We don’t need you and don’t want your socialist attitudes here.
Obama is a winner and his first priority is the security of this country. He will never allow this country to be destroyed or bullied. For those to say he hates this country and will allow those who have intrusted him to protect them to suffer are clueless fear mongering bigots.
I guess Obama has nothing better to do than to allow this country to be destroyed so he can get a grove out of seeing his children suffer. He and his family do live in this country people. Come on, get real! LOL!
Tim are you serious? You can’t be. Security- dude this guy will sell us down the river, I’ve read you posts and I think your smarter than that.
I agree with tim. Obama’s first priority will be to protect this country.
GET REAL
COMON DUDE , TALK ALL THIS TRASH.

It has to be painful to vote for someone who refuses to say the pledge of allegiance, well for some of you that despise what America has done for you socialists I understand. Just move and leave the US. We don’t need you and don’t want your socialist attitudes here.

Obama says the pledge all the time. Show me a picture of McCain with a flag pin– bet you can’t find one.
Liberals aren’t for socialism, and conservatives aren’t for completely unregulated markets. We all agree that regulation and control is essential.
But based on your posts I’m guessing reason isn’t your strong suit.
Why do conservatives keep saying Obama is weak, and won’t protect us?
He is the ONLY candidate who’s repeatedly called for pulling out of Iraq, re-inforcing Afghanistan, and going after OBL in Pakistan.
Oh, yeah, McCain said something about chasing OBL “to the gates of Hell” early in the primary season, but not ONE WORD from him about this now.
Sad to see the right is blinded by xenophobia, racism, and jingoism.

Question remain
Why would Barack Obama have on his foreign policy staff a man who has been widely criticized for a revisionist history of the Middle East peace process sharply at odds with all other accounts of the proceedings?
Why would Barack Obama give credibility to a man who seems to have an agenda that includes empowering our enemies and weakening our friends and allies?
How did Robert Malley, with a record of writing that reveals a willingness to twist facts to serve a political agenda, come to be appointed by Obama to his foreign staff?
Was it a recommendation of Zbigniew Brzezinski to bring on board another anti-Israel foreign policy expert?
What role did the left-wing anti-Israel activist George Soros play in placing Robert Malley (or for that matter, Brzezinski himself) in a position to influence the future foreign policy of America?
What does it say about Senator Obama’s judgment that he appointed a man like Malley to be a top foreign policy advisor?
Or does it speak more to his true beliefs?

I’ve answered the question about Robert Malley already. The ramblings like what you are spewing is why he decided to leave Obama’s campaign as an informal advisor. You fear mongering idiots can only try to scare people to vote for your sorry candidate because you don’t stand for nothing else. Let’s not let the facts and the issues be a topic of discussion. Below is what I wrote about Robert Malley. All which can be said about anyone of the others names you throw out. Enjoy your misery by yourself with the other right-wing radicals.
Right-wing radicals will say and do anything in an attempt to get their candidate elected.
The advisor (Robert Malley) that YOU are talking about was not Obama’s CAMPAIGN LEADER, in fact, he was an INFORMAL advisor to Obama that didn’t even h
