WASHINGTON, Oct. 6 (UPI) -- Democratic U.S. presidential candidate Barack Obama Monday began hitting his Republican challenger's involvement in the 1989-90 savings-and-loan scandal.
The multimedia campaign is designed to push back against what the Obama campaign calls Sen. John McCain's "guilt-by-association" tactics linking Obama to onetime radical Bill Ayers, a leader in the 1970s radical Weatherman group who is a college teacher and activist in Chicago, Politico reported.
