You got to read both sides, and something like this is just pure propaganda. Unfortunately in politics, when you're in the game for a long time, you can sometimes get mixed up in things by mistake. McCain was cleared of involvement in the Keatings scandal and found to have the least involvement whatsoever of the 5 senators involved. Here's a little of what Obama has had his hand in his only short time in politics:

The intro to the website you sent says: "The current economic crisis demands that we understand John McCain's attitudes about economic oversight and corporate influence in federal regulation. Nothing illustrates the danger of his approach more clearly than his central role in the savings and loan scandal of the late '80s and early '90s." This implies that McCain was negligent towards oversight and regulation and therefore played a very important role in the current financial crisis.

and then there's this, what he actually said in 2005, 2 years before any of this started (Obama was already in the senate for this, it would be interesting to see which way he voted, I'll look it up when I have more time):
