    More political heartburn for Obama. Will McCain capitalize on this?
    The news reports that the verdict is in. The question is: Will Republican Presidential Nominee John McCain capitalize on this and other stories surrounding Obama and his friends?

    Get ready for *Johnny Who?* to get blasted by a REAL SCANDAL... the Keating Five... Johnny is not going to like to have that brought up and harped on during a Presidential Election.

    That's just the beginning. :)

    Only if McCain's hungry enough to eat crow during a national live debate. I don't think his handlers are that stupid. Wait a minute! On second thought... never mind. Anyway I think it's more than likely that the Republican think-tank might try to slip this in as McCain butchers another teleprompter speech. BTW Rezko was tried through a court of law, not a witch trial with judge John McCain wearing a wig and looking for dimple on Obama's chin.

    He is already tried and convicted. When he starts to talk a lot of Chi-town pols are going to run for cover. But this is just another close associate of the big O that he misjudged .

    My Sky - don't you have a little obsessive/compulsive thing going about Obama. That's all you can think about. I think you love him. :)

    [You may have heard of Rev. John Hagee, the McCain supporter who said God created Hurricane Katrina to punish New Orleans for its homosexual "sins". Well now meet Rev. Rod Parsley, the televangelist megachurch pastor from Ohio who hates Islam. According to David Corn of Mother Jones, Parsley has called on Christians to wage war against Islam, which he considers to be a "false religion". In the past, Parsley has also railed against the separation of church and state, homosexuals, and abortion rights, comparing Planned Parenthood to Nazis. John McCain actively sought and received Parsley's endorsement in the presidential race. McCain has called Parsley "a spiritual guide"]

    The above quote is from a Nation article: "McCain's Pastor: US Should Destroy Islam"

    Just one of the many problems McCain has "throwing stones"...

    To update : We have discussed Hagee ,and the distinction between McCain seeking his support compared to Obama attending and keeping Rev Wright as a personal spiritual adviser for 20 years.
