This is stupid.
A couple weeks ago, the Obama campaign decided to run an ad criticizing how McCain can't use a computer and is thus "out of touch" with society.
Obviously, this ad was meant to prove that McCain doesn't know how to interface with today's society and has no idea how to operate in the technologically advanced modern era. Those concerns, though they have a shaky basis, are legitimate. However, it came out recently that McCain cannot use the computer due to his injuries he sustained as a POW. Ouch. That's gotta hurt Obama. Even more interestingly, Joe Biden had this to say about the ads:
Well I couldn't agree more. Yes, I am a Republican, and yes, I am voting for John McCain, but I'll admit Joe is right on multiple accounts. Yes, it was terrible of Obama not to research into why McCain can't use the computer, but I believe Biden is also correct in saying it wasn't meant to be personal and that McCain's ad on Obama trying to teach sex ed to kindergarteners was also done without much research (it recently came out that the bill was more about teaching kindergarteners about innapropriate touching than legitimate sexual education).
I think both campaigns are running some dumb and uninformed ads that have little substance. This gets worse every year. At this rate, TV ads will soon just be conjecture about one candidate eaiting babies as opposed to the other murdering grandmothers. Barack Obama and John McCain both need to chill for a minute and get some facts before they run their ads. This is getting ridiculous.
My hat's off to you, Senator Biden. I never thought I'd say this, but I agree with you, sir.
Just a thought.

Let's just say he can't use a computer because he just doesn't know how to-putting aside the issue of his injury. Who cares? How often does Bush probably use a computer? Or Bill Clinton for that matter? There are people that work for the President. Just a few don't you know. The only 3 adjectives I care about in regards to a Pres. are: honesty, character, and good judgment.
