(CNN) -- Sen. Barack Obama's campaign is trying to draw a parallel with Sen. John McCain's involvement in the "Keating Five" scandal and the current economic crisis.

The Obama campaign announced plans to release a 13-minute documentary called "Keating Economics: John McCain and the Making of a Financial Crisis."

Charles Keating was a businessman who went to prison for fraud.

McCain was investigated as being one of five senators, dubbed the "Keating Five," who met with regulators on behalf of Keating, the owner of an Arizona savings and loan.

1. If McCain continues with his smear campaign today...

It will show he has absolute contempt for America and her people. The stock market is dropping like a rock, and they want to forget about the economy? I don't think so!

2. Nice, finally a Democrat with a bit of bite.

3. It's a good slam because it doesn't take focus from economy. nt

5. If anything, it highlights what's up with the economy

Win-win.
