"Senator Obama, my association with Charles Keating was an unfortunate mistake in my personal judgment, very earlier in my career in the Senate, 20 years ago when I was much younger. Even though I was an inexperienced Senator at the time, just learning how Washington worked, I should have listened to my inner voice and followed my personal instincts instead of playing Washington's political game. I've sense gained a great deal of experience, and learned never to compromise my principles. And that's why we shouldn't entrust the Presidency to 47-year-old Senators with very limited experience to run this country!"
Where exactly is the mistake in judgment that he should apologize for? As soon as he learned that Keating was under investigation, he cut off all ties and refused to provide ANY more help to him. Isn’t that the kind of judgment that we want? That’s why McCain was exonerated - the fact that they pronounced him guilty of a lapse in judgment is recognized by most impartial observers as simply a way of keeping the scandal “bipartisan”.
How's this for a response?Aside from being a terrible response it's wrong."Senator Obama, my association with Charles Keating was an unfortunate mistake in my personal judgment,
From post #27
Robert Bennett, Chief Counsel to the Democrats during the investigation, said that McCain should not be included in the investigation and that their was not evidence of any wrongdoing by Senator McCain.
And that's why we shouldn't entrust the Presidency to a Freshman Senator with very limited experience, a history of bad judgment and questionable ties to former terrorists and criminals to run this country!"
