the reason Obama is dealing with all these attack ads (not that its cool)
is that since he's a newcomer to the national scale and media, all of his past questionable doings need to be explained for.
McCain had the keating five incident, where he and other senators received 1.3 million dollars towards campaigns to allow crappy deals to be passed. that was several years ago, and both parties believe that McCain has done a good job apologizing and explaining himself.
he admitted to being wrong.
thats not good but he explained himself.
obama basically told everyone that those questionable relationships " he doesn't agree with their politics"
which doesnt explain why he spent 20 years listening Jeremiah wright or several years on a council with an unrepentant william ayers.
if he honestly disagreed with these people, why did he spend so much time under their council.
a simple" i dont agree with thier politics" doesnt give the public enough of an answer.
