A Different Member of the Keating 5 Introduces the Boss at Obama Rally
“You don’t get introduced by John Glenn every day,” Bruce Springsteen said yesterday at an Obama get-out-the-vote rally at Ohio State University, as reported by the Columbus Dispatch.
Former Sen. John Glenn, D-Ohio, was — along with Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz. — one of the Keating Five, the handful of senators who met with federal regulators to urge them to ease up on the savings and loan owned by contributor Charles Keating.
Hours after Glenn introduced the Boss at the Obama rally, the Obama campaign launched a campaign attacking McCain for his Keating Five activities. They made no mention of Mr. Glenn.
In fact, it’s likely that McCain was only kept in the [Keating] case because to have removed him from it would have meant only Democrats would have been involved. Even the NYT thought so.
