...when Obama was running around Indonesia in diapers, McCain was mastering this slightly technical piece of machinery...

Two points:

1) Obambi just lost even MORE of the vote of those people over 50 - treating them like they're stupid.

2) The McCain campaign should use your idea as a commercial. It would blow Obambi's butt clear out of the water!

Yes, without the teleprompter he’s lost. LOL!

This is a great response. Good job!

I’d like to point out one thing though - for accuracy sake - .... Obama was like 6yrs old when he moved to Indonesia, so he probably wasn’t in diapers then. Though he was in diapers when McCain was a pilot. :~ )

As a TU alum parent, I must observe that the comparison of Tigers/Green Wave is not dissimilar to emailing v. flying ;)

Hey, Obama, can you do this or are you still practicing with Microsoft Fight Simulator?

I don't know if it happened to him, but when i ejected from an F-4 in Nam, I lost my grip on the face curtain with my right hand. This caused the wind to force it back and up.. it dislocated my shoulder.. now that I'm older (ain't sayin how old, but JSM was a POW when I was flying in Nam)I have numbness and tingling in that arm with a very reduced range of motion from arthritis

I’m 79 and never claim to be a geek, but I love my computer more than my TV. I hardly ever turn to TV for news. I think there are many old codgers like me . Others in our age group aren’t interested. Nothing wrong with that,either.Obama doesn’t seem to be a master of anything except putting foot in mouth disease. I’m glad he has this disease..;))

Yes Sir! That is the picture I was looking for...

But, I guess that is a lot like using a computer (dripping sarc).

“Yeah, but that’s all mechanical, and hydraulic, and stuff. Old Tech. Practically Victorian. Not a microcircuit to be seen, and so of no consequence, y’know?”

Yeah, and that cockpit user interface is horrible. Those guys had no idea how to make a good GUI.

I’ve picked up your comparison and pictures, and posted commentary on my blog - with credit to you, of course! Thank you so much for pointing this out. I highly doubt Mr. Obama could even HOPE to master this incredibly technical aviation machinery!

For one thing, there doesn't seem to be a teleprompter.

Good point! I have a relative who was an A-4 pilot in the ‘60s (didn’t know McCain b/c he (my relative) was generally with the 6th Fleet in the Med). Anyway, his post- Navy career was in computer programming..... not merely using them but writing customized programs in several different languages. He still says carrier landings, especially at night, are the hardest thing he’s ever done. He has 500+ carrier landings.

I suppose then the Obamanation will have to say they’re not talking about skills or intelligence but about CURRENT technologies, etc. But of course they never complained about Bill Clinton being computer illiterate, which he was (don’t know about now, but when he was President it was said a number of times that he had never used email). These are the kinds of things that pop up from the Demagogues when they don’t have anything more useful to babble about.

This “John McCain doesn't know who to use an ipod” strategy is utterly ridiculous.

I'm in the same boat; good company! Who has time to fool with a little music box when I should be working, running, shooting hoops or playing with my grandson?
