McCain Befriends Keating Before Felony, Obama Befriends Ayers After

In a desperate move to avert discussions about his friendship with unapologetic American terrorist William Ayers, Obama has dug up the long buried story of the Keating Five.  The Keating Five was a group of five senators that were caught up in trying to influence legislation on behalf of Charles Keating during the S&L Crisis over two decades ago.  Senator McCain was exonerated of any wrong doing.

What's interesting here though is the contrast of character between how Obama handles his friends and McCain handles his.  After the Keating Five scandal, McCain disassociated from Charles Keating.  McCain clearly showed character by not associating himself with a man of questionable character and integrity.

Obama, on the other hand, befriended William Ayers AFTER he became a terrorist.  Obama also befriended Tony Resko AFTER he had committed crimes.  And Obama remained in "Reverend" Wright's "church" AFTER the "reverend" spewed vicious racist and anti-American rhetoric from the pulpit.

So the contrast in character here is quite clear.  Senator McCain avoids people of questionable character after that character is revealed, while Senator Obama seems to seek out questionable people who may help him further his political ambitions.  Quite a contrast indeed.
