CHICAGO (AFP) - Democrat Barack Obama was roiled by another campaign scandal Wednesday when a key advisor resigned amid damaging reports that he had received preferential home loans.

Although Jim Johnson, who has been leading the hunt for a vice presidential candidate, denies any favorable treatment, the accusations could dent Obama's image as an untarnished newcomer who has vowed to clean up Washington politics.

McCain and his supporters shouldn't be throwing stones. McCain was not only associated with the <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keating_Five>Keating Five</a>, he was one of them. As for others on his campaign staff, go to:

As for Mr. Johnson's loans with Countrywide, until the details are released...he paid discount points?...Substantial down payments?...A good credit score? Far be it from the right in its criticism of Obama to overlook the obvious.
