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

We’re not voting for a tech support guy.
We’re voting for Commander in Chief of the United States of America.

-Holt on Fox today.

In addition working class, blue collar, and low income individuals don’t use a computer either. Their jobs don’t require it and they can’t afford a personal one.

To paraphase something I said on another thread, if the Commander-in-chief is a clueless cryptocommie neophyte, it really doesn’t matter to me whether he uses email or the phone to call in his dumbass instructins to the military.

John McCain will pick up thee phone and tell them to kill the cockroaches.

I have seen quite a few talking heads refer to McCain’s record as a “fighter pilot.” Maybe some Skyhawk driver can help me out here, but did the Navy classify the Skyhawk a fighter, or a bomber? More a carrier attack aircraft, than a fighter, per se?

So Hussein calls McCain 'out-of-touch' because McCain is not computer-knowledgable??

WHAT ABOUT HUSSEIN KNOWING NOTHING ABOUT THE HANFORD NUCLEAR COMPLEX IN WASHINGTON?

Talk about being 'out-of-touch'!!! Geeez

Even though I’ve followed aviation since I was a small boy, I read something the other day that really brought home how dangerous carrier ops are. It compared a night carrier landing to falling 70 stories toward a small target in the dark, guided only by a small light...and if you miss the target you die.

Let’s see Obama (who couldn’t be bothered to volunteer for a nice safe job like Air Force cook) try that one.

Oh great catch. That would be a great ad:

Machines Barak Obama has mastered: Show a picture of a PC with a video game on it.

Machines John McCain has mastered: Show a jet fighter

Any questions?

BUMP! Excellent idea (hope you don't mind one small tweak below):

Machines Barak Obama has mastered: Show a picture of a PC with a video game on it.

Machines John McCain has mastered: Show an A-4 jet on a carrier deck, just taking off, loaded with bombs

Any questions?

Hmmm let's see.
'Older Than Dirt' McCain operating one of these:

Uh.. what was Barry's point about computers again?

Obama has taken a bad track by challenging McCain on technology. The point has often been made about this topic, but allow me to add a bit as a former Navy aircrewman. Landing ANY aircraft on a carrier deck is NOT for the faint-hearted and substantially tougher than it looks.

Landing an A-4 on a carrier deck was even trickier. The aircraft was light and fast. If the Obamessiah wants to gain respect, prove to me that he can land an A-4 on a pitching aircraft carrier deck.

I’ll take Sen. McCain’s proven technical background and experience any day over the Obamessiah’s. Sen. McCain has proven his skills, what’s Obama done??

Good stuff..... here’s one the McCain camp won’t do but it would make for a great web ad by a 3rd party......

theme would be:

“President John McCain will not need email to order our commanders to bomb the S### out of our enemies!”

or something like that.....

:^)

I think Obama's rear tire is going flat, just like his campaign ;-)

LOL. How about an ad comparing Commander John McCain taking off in an A-4 loaded for bear.....

with Obama.....

holding a tire pressure gauge at a jaunty angle

[make the tire pressure gauge a cutesy wimpy color like pink or bright yellow]

Who would you rather vote for, America, the man who knows military aircraft or the man who knows itty bitty tire pressure gauges???

Obama should not have opened up this line of attack!! If the McCain campaign won’t do it I’m sure that 3rd parties will.
