WASHINGTON, DC — Another case of Joe being Joe.
The Delaware Senator took issue with an attack ad from his own side in an interview with CBS, telling Katie Couric that the Obama hit on McCain’s ignorance of computers and technology was “terrible.” paints McCain as out of touch — and, subtly, all but calls him ancient — but doesn’t mention that one reason McCain doesn’t use computers much is that his injuries from Vietnam prevent him from doing so.
Asked whether he’s disappointed with the tone of the campaign, including the ad that Couric characterized as “making fun of John mcCain’s inability to use a computer,” Biden said “I thought that was terrible by the way.
“I didn’t know we did it and if I had anything to do with it, we would have never done it”
But Biden said he didn’t think there was anything intentionally personal in the ad — and argued that it doesn’t sink to the level the McCain ad accusing Obama of voting to teach kindergarteners about sex. The Obama campaign says the bill would help children avoid predators. “Very different in degree,” Biden said.
Still, the McCain campaign pounced on the VP nominee’s comments.

Interesting, hehe.

That is funny, isn't it? I'm so glad Obama picked Biden. He's entertaining me nearly every single day.

So a big part of why McCain doesn't use a personal computer is that his disabilities makes it difficult and they're mocking him for it?

Classy.

TRANSLATION: the Obama campaign requires adult supervision.

Sarah Palin is claimed to be a show of bad judgment by John McCain.

So what does Old Joe say about Obama??

Or better, what does Joe's accepting Obama's nod say about his?

JMak · 09-23-08, 11:09 AM

Hmmm, that would be an interesting question for Biden regarding him accepting the VP nod.

Mr. Biden, during the Democratic primaries you challeneged Mr. Obama's qualification for POTUS, explicitly saying that he was not qualified. What exactly has changed your mind about Mr. Obama's qualifications to be POTUS?

You know the Obama Campaign really parallels McGovern's campaign. If Obama dumps Biden, his campaign will be exactly like McGovern's.

Obama is showing his leadership skills by demonstrating he can't even unite his own ticket.

Well Biden should have been online here at DP for some really well informed and oh so logical "discussion" of this ad in this thread:

They need to get on the same page. Obama chastised Joe for saying there should be no AIG bailout, too.
