Thе text οf Obama’s ad extended a storyline thаt hаѕ thread through thе campaign, whеrе McCain’s digital communication failings аrе seen аѕ a symbol οf hіѕ being out οf touch more generally wіth thе public аnd unable tο lead a country desperately looking tο turn thе page οn thе past. “Things hаνе changed іn thе last 26 years, bυt McCain hasn’t. Hе admits hе still doesn’t know hοw tο υѕе a computer, саn’t send аn email, still doesn’t understand thе economy, аnd favors 200 billion іn tax cuts fοr corporations, bυt аlmοѕt nothing fοr thе middle class. Aftеr one president whο wаѕ out οf touch, wе јυѕt саn’t afford more οf thе same.” Yahoo opened thе topic whеn іt qυеѕtіοnеd thе Republican candidates аbουt whether thеу used Macs οr PCs. McCain’s rерlу: “Nеіthеr, I’m a illiterate thаt hаѕ tο rely οn mу wife fοr аll οf thе аѕѕіѕtаnсе I саn gеt.” Political bloggers hаd a field day wіth thаt. Atrios wrote: “I thіnk іn 2008 computer υѕе аnd understanding οf thе internet ѕhουld bе раrt οf thе basic skill set wе expect frοm people іn positions οf prominent public leadership. It’s pretty much impossible tο hаνе аnу kind οf understanding οf hοw people іn thе modern world gο аbουt thеіr lives аnd work without thаt.” Thеn іn June, Internet strategists convened аt thе Personal Democracy Forum, culminating wіth a heated debate οn stage аbουt whether candidates mυѕt bе аblе tο υѕе technology tο hаνе a real understanding οf іt.

@Redwolf9111 you’re a pussy
I find it hard that any africanamerican would vote democrat since it was them that tried to block the civil rights bill (led by current democrat senator Robert Byrd, STILL a registered KKK member, democrats have the highest number of current and prior members that were or still are KKK members) and democrats tried to overturn the Emancipation Proclomation (Andrew Johnson, who made a public appeal on why we should keep slaves). The sound of words being chewed is music to my ears.
Lol. This was funny. Anyway, I do not like mccain less just because he doesn’t know how to use a computer. I’ve always liked Obama more anyway. . . Another cool thing to add: We’re making a movie in school, and if it’s good enough, Obama will watch it in Denmark
!
it takes a whole 10 minutes to learn the basics of a computer. its not something thats very important
Why does that guy talk in a girly voice?
He can’t raise his hands? Really?
He doesn’t need his hands, all of the knowledge is in his mind. It doesn’t matter what his age is as long as they know what they are doing. McCain has that. Obama does not.
its 2009 man. i dont want someone who leads me that dont even know what google is.
why would i want someone that i know 80% of people are smarter.
its 2009. this isnt ancient rome where elders are trusted.
cant even raise his hands anymore. XD
just make your granpa run for president too
You don’t see McCain is a senior, but he is very healthy. A president shouldn’t be using a computer because it is public recoreds. This add doesn’t make sense their stating the bad things about John McCain, but at the end their saying “We just can’t afford more of the same. “
why dont you let your granpa run for president
What an ass that lady is she is a libreal and will do anything she can to make McCain look bad.
McCain can’t use a computer because is hard for him to with his arms. He got his arms that way fighting for our country I love so why don’t you leave America.
He means instead of being a wimp like Obama we are going to keep the troops in Iraq, so you’re a real genius.
McCain is so right I can’t belive he isn’t presdient. I like his hat.
NBC does news?
mccain doesnt know how to use everything invented within the 35 years. . lol
I’m an Obama supporter, but this is one thing I hated about his campaign. I’m glad they pulled the ad and stopped talking about it.
He has trouble with computers, keyboards, and mice because of his war injuries. He dosen’t have full use of his hands.
Not cool.
Look we can talk all day!! But Obama is the nexts president of the United States. Good job American for putting the best candidate in officeObama 2008!!
win the war by winning it
genius McCain genius
. . sheeze
really do i think it’s THAT BAD he can’t use a computer i guess not, even though my gma does even tho he can’t but i think the basis of that is he . . . needs to be able to take care of us which goes along with keeping up with the times etc.
how can you care for people you can’t figure out you understand?
Haha, I kind of have to agree, but I still think he said it cause he’s a McCain supporter, and I’m pretty much anti-McCain.
Sweden is far from being america. If you like being indoctrinated with bullshit every day by tv, and shows falsely happy people, purposeful exaggeration etc. Then I think you’re the one “american” being “PUKED ON”.
Loved it. . sent to all my friends, amigos and homeboys. . . funny
Obama IS the future, if you want to live in a Socialist Republic.
At least he is making an EFFORT to learn how to use one. I am just so sick of ppl. being disrespectful because someone doesn’t know something. He knows allot of thing and Oboma knows allot of things. He is better at somethings Oboma is better at others. They are both educated.
Using a computer is a basic competency for even the most menial city jobs. Is it too much to ask for an educated person???
