What about McCain being found not guilty etc? Obama is such a sneeky snake!
U.S. Congressman and a growing family
McCain set his sights on becoming a Congressman because he was interested in current events, was ready for a new challenge, and had developed political ambitions during his time as Senate liaison.[62][70][71] Living in Phoenix, he went to work for Hensley & Co., his new father-in-law Jim Hensley's large Anheuser-Busch beer distributorship.[62] As Vice President of Public Relations at the distributorship, he gained political support among the local business community, meeting powerful figures such as banker Charles Keating, Jr., real estate developer Fife Symington III and newspaper publisher Darrow "Duke" Tully.[72][63] In 1982, McCain ran as a Republican for an open seat in Arizona's 1st congressional district.[73] A newcomer to the state, McCain was hit with repeated charges of being a carpetbagger.[62] McCain responded to a voter making that charge with what a Phoenix Gazette columnist would later describe as "the most devastating response to a potentially troublesome political issue I've ever heard":[62]
"Listen, pal. I spent 22 years in the Navy. My father was in the Navy. My grandfather was in the Navy. We in the military service tend to move a lot. We have to live in all parts of the country, all parts of the world. I wish I could have had the luxury, like you, of growing up and living and spending my entire life in a nice place like the First District of Arizona, but I was doing other things. As a matter of fact, when I think about it now, the place I lived longest in my life was Hanoi."[62][74]
With the assistance of local political endorsements, his Washington connections, as well as money that his wife lent to his campaign,[63] McCain won a highly contested primary election.[62] He then easily won the general election in the heavily Republican district.[62]
