More soon at KeatingEconomics.com. Kudos to the Obama campaign, a documentary on the web is a terrific way to present this information. It's interesting how the campaign used McCain's attack on Ayers to break out the Keating relationship.
Obviously reporters are going to be sorely tempted to equate Charles Keating with William Ayers and rail about how the campaigns are both descending into the muck. The difference is that Charles Keating had a financial relationship with John McCain for which McCain did political favors during a financial crisis that was structurally identical to the one the next President will have to solve, while William Ayers was a guy living in Obama's neighborhood who committed terrorist acts when Obama was eight.
Other than that, they are the same. Politics is dirty!
