"Furthermore, two of McCain's top advisers were recently lobbyists for Ameriquest Mortgage, a lender involved in the recent mortgage meltdown.

In March, the Daily News reviewed disclosure forms and reported: "John Green, chief liaison to Congress, and Wayne Berman, his national finance co-chairman, billed more than $720,000 in lobbying fees from 2005 through last year to Ameriquest Mortgage through their lobbying firm".

One wonders how McCain can reform the economy when his closest associates consulted for some of the players deeply involved in the current crisis."
