Obama campaign launches Keating Economics website

The Obama campaign has launched two new websites in conjunction with their newly created Keating Five video documentary.

  1. Keating Economics (http://keatingeconomics.com/). Based upon my observation the Keating Economics site represents the Obama campaigns efforts to give legs to the argument that Mccain's involvement in the Keating Five Savings and Loan scandal was the first of two major events in Mccain's political career that illustrate a pattern of poor judgement with respect to decisions impacting the financial lives of Mccain's constituents. The second event or occurence that I have heard Obama use to connect the dots and form a straight line or trending of Mccain's weak judgement is none other than his close association with Phil Graham. Mr. Graham is the Mccain campaign's economic advisor and is a former banking lobbyist. Phil Graham is one of the chief architects behind the banking deregulation of the 1990's that many economists credit as being the key driver behind today's financial crisis. Graham also was said to have heavy connections with Enron.
  2. John Mccain Record (http://www.johnmccainrecord.com/) . This site seems to complement the Keating Five economics site by fact checking Mccain on every issue that is vital to the 2008 US Elections. If you click on any of the fourteen hyperlinked topics, you get 3 to 4 fact check points on Mccain that simultaneously make the argument that Mccain's policies are identical to Bush's policies and have already been proven as harmful to American interests.
Think "swiftboating 2.0" meets Michael Moore. This is what you have when you take these two sites and link them to the Keating Five video-sheer genius!
