Obama comes out swinging

[MrLabGuy]

Poking fun at McCain not being able to use a computer in a new campaign ad.

Unfortunately, his staff did not research the real reason he avoids the keyboard before throwing together an attack ad as he slips back in the polls.

Seems there was an article in Slate back in 2000 which talks about McCain and his computer use.

From the article in 2000

"At 63, he is the oldest of the bunch and because of his war injuries, he is limited in his ability to wield a keyboard".

Great job Obama...Make fun of a war hero who was beat and broken in a prisoner of war camp.

Might want to be careful with the rhetoric there...it comes across as you giving unconditional support to a broken individual for the highest elected office, doesn't sound too bright.

There are far better quotes about McCain and his lack of comfort with modern technology, you don't have to go back to 2000. I think he used the word illiterate himself. Doesn't have much to do with manual dexterity.

Unlike you I have no problem supporting people with disabilities. Just look at Stephen Hawking and his contribution to society and explain why a person with a disability should not be allowed to contribute even for the highest office?

Now who sounds silly?

Better hope you don't get injured or come down with a disability. I doubt you would be laughing then.

But then again you're an Obama supporter.

Here you go JCL. I guess he is not smart enough for you to hold office

I agree with MrLabGuy, there is a HUGE difference between a physical handicap that is merely a minor limitation obtained servicing this country and a mental handicap that affects your ability to perform the tasks in a completely different manor... And Stephen Hawking has a all but useless body but an amazing mind that makes him a more useful member of society than most!

I was surprise at the criticism above. I guess liberal leaning people talk about compassion and equal rights for handicapped people but laugh at them and others who support them.

Obama better hope McCain does not point out the truth about his handicap and scold him for making fun of his war injuries.

more realistic liberal statement: what the politicians are probably thinking... "equal rights yes, but equal to someone lesser than me"

I just don't get it. Show me one place in the world that politics are not run by money, influenced by major corporation CEO's. Somewhere that the government is still honestly "of the people, for the people" and only wants whats best for the countries people and I will move there in a second! Yes, I want the fairytale, history book America...!

David Paterson, the Governor of NY, is blind. Does that make him any less capable?

Just sayin'...
