Is there a bigger hypocrite then Obama?

Amanda Carpenter :: Townhall.com :: Keating Five Member is Obama Surrogate

If Barack Obama is so outraged at John McCain’s involvement in the Keating Five scandal, why is John Glenn, another Keating Five member, doing surrogate work for Obama.............

Obama’s presidential campaign released a scathing documentary on Monday detailing McCain’s ties to the Savings and Loan crisis on the 1980’s. Five U.S. senators were named in the scandal: Sen. Alan Cranston (D.-Calif.), Sen. Dennis DeConcini (D.-Ariz.), Sen. John Glenn (D.-Ohio), Sen. John McCain (R.-Ariz.) and Sen. Donald Reigle (D-Minn.).

"The Keating scandal is eerily similar to today's credit crisis, where a lack of regulation and cozy relationships between the financial industry and Congress has allowed banks to make risky loans and profit by bending the rules," reads a trailer for the video on a website created by the Obama campaign to attack McCain, Keating Economics. "And in both cases, John McCain's judgment and values have placed him on the wrong side of history.

But Obama doesn’t seem to have any quarrel with Glenn. The former Democratic Ohio senator introduced Bruce Springsteen at a benefit concert for Obama in Ohio on Sunday, October 5. He's also done other surrogate work for Obama as well. According to Obama's presidential website Glenn held a conference calls with reporters for Obama in August.

Major Enigma

Could it be because John Glenn is an astronaut hero from Ohio?
I mean this guy really can fly a plane. Not just crash them.

4 Democrats and 1 Republican. Proof that McCain is a bipartisan maverick.

Doesn't appear to be, but that John Glenn did praise Obama's space exploration stances in August.

Is being 1 of the Keating 5 worse than being associated with 1 of the Keating 5?

It's just more proof that Obama associates with terrorists...

NP, do you even bother digesting the crap you post on here before posting it?
Just what are you saying here? That associating with a member of the Keating 5 that was also dismissed and found innocent is worse than actually being a member of the Keating 5?
My god, something tells me you are extremely scared about what happens come November so you're just grasping at anything that can be plausibly negative with the opponent ticket.
Sad, very sad.
