So, looks like the Obama campaign is about to launch a little push back.

Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) on Monday is launching a multimedia campaign to draw attention to the involvement of Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) in the “Keating Five” savings-and-loan scandal of 1989-91, which blemished McCain’s public image and set him on his course as a self-styled reformer.

Pushing back against what it calls McCain’s “guilt-by-association” tactics, the Obama campaign overnight began e-mailing millions of supporters a link to a website, KeatingEconomics.com, which will have a 13-minute documentary on the scandal beginning at noon Eastern time on Monday.

I don’t know if this is a good idea or not. Not because it isn’t relevant to what’s going on these days, but because it may be a little too complication for “Joe Sixpack” to understand. You have to admit, “Obama hangs with terrorists” is a much simpler concept to grasp (and anybody with a brain already knows that McCain/Palin is a disaster of biblical proportions – so to speak – in the making).

To try and explain it all to the unwashed masses, the campaign has a website – KeatingEconomics.com – which will have a 13-minute documentary on the scandal beginning at noon Eastern time today.
