NEW YORK (AP) — John McCain is mocked as an out-of-touch, out-of-date computer illiterate in a television commercial out Friday from Barack Obama as the Democrat begins his sharpest barrage yet on McCain's long Washington career.

Is this another of those “Merci boucoup” type statements where obama is linguistically illiterate and is claiming others like himself embarrass him?

That's a real smart strategery. Remind people you're an insufferable elitist!

Even worse, Obama is a elitist hypocrite, which seems to make him a fairly typical liberal.

I see the Kitchen Sink strategy is in play now.

The attacks we’ve leveled on Obama have been damning, painting him as an out of touch, vapid celeb. This junk here is spitballs that will bounce right off McCain.

First, Obama attacks McCain because he’s in DC since 1982? Hello?? Biden has been there since 1972.

Mayve McCain can find some photos of Barry back in the early 80s when he was smoking crack and getting drunk every night

And is anyone else bothred by Barry usnig Bush 41 in the ad? Thre’s no need to insult an ex-President like that. Barry is low class all they way.

Most people outside of the under 25 generation don’t know how to use a computer either, and if they do its for internet browsing and word processing at best.

Obama is so out of touch.

To be honest, I don't believe Obama has been attacked all that much. There has been a light shined on him and his past...and he has quite a few cockroaches hidden there...and such ugliness that it the revealing of which might appear to be an attack. I know when I've told my mother of one thing or another that a democrat has said or done she won't even believe it because it's so extreme...but I told her the truth. The problem is, the dems behave so extremely bad that it's hard to believe.

It is Obama who is out of touch. Apparently a few slash/dot anarchists left over from the BBS era, and subsidized commie bloggers like Kos have tricked him into thinking that this newfangled internet thing is the cutting edge of progressive propaganda.
In fact, our side OWNS the net, just as his side owns the dinosaur media.

Weak commercial. Just the same talking points with he doesnt know how to use a computer at the beginning.

It is just going to insult people who dont know how to use a computer.

So while McCain is better adjusted to trivial matters like service for the country, Barack Obama would totally defeat him in online video games.

That’s the first thing I thought of. This is going to insult a lot of voters.

Everyone knows someone who’s computer illiterate. It’s not uncommon.

Those most likely to show up at the polls are seniors, many of whom freely admit they are not very computer literate.

Obama is insulting the group most likely to show up and vote!
