McCain doesn't do email ad

americanwoman · 09-17-08, 02:17 PM

Who gives a **** about that? Who even in Obama's camp thought that was a good idea? I laughed out loud when I saw that ad the other day. With so much other things to blast McCain about, why the heck did they go with that. Do people actually care if someone can use email or not and is that something to be used against them? In this day and age is that going to be a requirment for someone to be president?

It's an extremely bad ad and it will probably alienate older voters for Obama who don't do email either. Dumb. Dumb. Dumb.

It matters about as much as the internet does in the election I would say.

I think that a potential world leader who does not have an inkling of knowledge of how to use such an ubiquitous technology as a computer is......mind boggling.

He also can't use a typewriter either, which aint really all that mind boggling due to some physical limitations he has. I'm pretty sure that if he could sit at a keyboard and operate it without pain, he could likewise master email and the internet. But then he does have a staff to do all that kind of stuff for him.

Anyway......pretty stupid ad in a season full of them.

Next up, John McCain doesn't do Pilates.

Awwww now I feel sorry for him, I better vote for McCain because he's 72 and was a POW.

The man can sit at a desk, I've been watching him do it for more than 20 years!

God, seriously?

I believe Obama is going for 'McCain is out of touch with today's world' with this ad. It is a valid point.

I've seen a number of video clips of McCain eating with the troops & with others and using both hands to hold a microphone to his mouth. The assertion that he does not have the dexterity to use a keyboard and /or cannot lift his arms up to the level to use a keyboard is suspect. If he has the dexterity to use a knife and fork at normal dining table level and can lift a mic to his mouth with both arms, these claims are nearly certainly false.

I'm not arguing for anyone to vote for anybody. I pointed out a inconvenient fact related to a really stupid ad. And yes God I'm totally serial. Apparently the Obama campaign thought this was a real hot button issue.

Oh no he is a long time DC insider, he has staff for all of that too.
