I am glad Obama isn't wasting time on this. McCain and Palin are "taking off the gloves" they say and started hitting Obama about his "palling around" with ex radical Bill Ayers.

Well, Obama is ready for McCain. He has a video all ready and is going to slam McCain about the Keating 5 scandle which McCain was right in the middle of. You have to admit, even if you don't like Obama, his campaign is smart and isn't taking sh*t.

And he's using internet marketing to launch this attack on McCain, sending out an email to millions to announce the launch just like some guru's internet marketing launch.

Should be an interesting week.

Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) on Monday will launch a multimedia campaign to draw attention to the involvement of Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) in the "Keating Five" savings-and-loan scandal of 1989-91, which blemished McCain's public image and set him on his course as a self-styled reformer.

Retaliating for what it calls McCain's "guilt-by-association" tactics, the Obama campaign is e-mailing millions of supporters a link to a website, KeatingEconomics.com, which will have a 13-minute documentary on the scandal beginning at noon Eastern time on Monday. The overnight e-mails urge recipients to pass the link on to friends.

The Obama campaign, including its surrogates appearing on radio and television, will argue that the deregulatory fervor that caused massive, cascading savings-and-loan collapses in the late '80s was pursued by McCain throughout his career, and helped cause the current credit crisis.

Obama-Biden communications director Dan Pfeiffer said: "While John McCain may want to turn the page on his erratic response to the current economic crisis, we think voters will find his involvement in a similar crisis to be particularly interesting. His involvement with Keating is a window into McCain's economic past, present, and future."

Obama's offensive comes after McCain's running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, spent two days telling voters, donors and reporters that Obama showed poor judgment in his relationship with the former radical William Ayers.
