Campaign

What Keating received in return from McCain was never specifically nailed down, but McCain was admonished by the Senate Ethics Committee for showing "poor judgment." McCain used his own ethical problems to recreate his image by calling for campaign finance reform, co-sponsoring the popular if somewhat toothless McCain-Feingold Campaign Reform Act of 2002. Which he is violating at the present moment.

This was one of the biggest taxpayer swindles of all time, and it was aided and abetted by McCain and the rest of the Keating Five.

Of course, when Keating’s empire collapsed, it was the American taxpayer who was left holding the bag.

   The better question is what did Tony Rezko do for Obama? Now that is the real scandal. Maybe that is what Michelle Obama was referring to when she said she is not proud..of what they have done.

   McCain was completely cleared of any wrong doing in the Keating affair you twit.
