In its zeal to get tough on Sen. John McCain, who has taken the lead in the presidential race, Sen. Barack Obama's campaign released a television ad today, titled "Still," making fun of Sen. McCain for being old fashioned. In the ad, the Obama campaign says that McCain hasn't changed much since he went to Congress in 1982, to make the case that McCain's campaign does not represent change. But the campaign crossed a line when it ridiculed McCain because he "can't send an e-mail," and unwittingly embroiled itself in another controversy that will throw the campaign off message. The charge is true, McCain cannot send e-mails. But the reason, which the Obama campaign clearly did not take the time to investigate, is that because of his Vietnam War injuries, suffered at the hands of his tortuous North Vietnamese captors, Sen. McCain cannot type on a keyboard.
The Boston Globe reported the details in an article first published in March 2000.
McCain gets emotional at the mention of military families needing food stamps or veterans lacking health care. The outrage comes from inside: McCain's severe war injuries prevent him from combing his hair, typing on a keyboard, or tying his shoes.

Wow, that was incredibly stupid and jerkish of Obama. It sounds like he’s recruiting the low lives on DU to work his campaign now.
So much for a different type of politics, a different types of campaigning.
I do appreciate that Obama has called McCain a hero and saluted his bravery in serving his country. But then if they also come up with this kind of crap, what are we voters supposed to think????
the more pressure on obamao,
the more outlandish and rude he becomes!
Oh man, when AOL slams you, it’s all over but the cryin’.
Well, Obama hasn’t thrown anyone under the bus lately..... so this will be a good time for him to blame an innocent staffer...... /s
All this should put the lie to the notion that Hillary is sabotaging Obama. This dude is completely capable of destroying his campaign without any help whatever.
Obama, you’re pwned!
McCain can stay quiet - BUT...., the rest of us should rake them over the coals! This is the gang that CANNOT SHOOT STRAIGHT. How will the country count on them to SHOOT at our enemies?
I saw this comment and will plagiarize it here....
“It was only 2 years ago. Remember the election in 2006?
Thought you might like to read the following:
A little over one year ago:
1) Consumer confidence stood at a 2 1/2 year high;
2) Regular gasoline sold for $2.19 a gallon;
3) The unemployment rate was 4.5%.
Since voting in a Democratic Congress in 2006 we have seen:
1) Consumer confidence plummet;
2) The cost of regular gasoline soar to over $3.50 a gallon;
3) Unemployment is up to 5% (a 10% increase);
4) American households have seen $2.3 trillion in equity value evaporate (stock and mutual fund losses);
5) Americans have seen their home equity drop by $1.2 trillion dollars;
6) 1% of American homes are in foreclosure.
America voted for change in 2006, and we got it!
Remember its Congress that makes law not the President. He has to work with what’s handed to him.”
maybe this is the result of the Toon’s 2 hour meeting yesterday, Mwa-Ha-Ha. Great advice Bill.
Obama is a disgrace. This is a slap in the face to disabled vets all over the country. Is this what he thinks of those who have made life altering sacrifices. How low can Barack Hussein go.

Like Bob Dole and his pen, McCain’s (unseen) heroic efforts may perhaps do a too-good job of covering up his disability sometimes.
These scum suckers are killing themselves. Let them rant on that the world may know them mad. Somebody said that, or something like it along time ago. It fits the media to a tee.
EXPOSURE is what these Liberal human waste fear the most. Take the truth to the American people and they will turn on this Marxist slime and his cohorts including the drive-by media. Hit them hard with national ads exposing their gutter tactics and then hit the Messiah with the truth about his Chicago mob ties and tactics.
Wow is right
AMEN Brother!!!!
"McCain is an inveterate devotee of email. His nightly ritual is to read his email together with his wife, Cindy. The injuries he incurred as a Vietnam POW make it painful for McCain to type. Instead, he dictates responses that his wife types on a laptop. "She's a whiz on the keyboard, and I'm so laborious," McCain admits."
What a hero McCain is! What an angel Cindy is! Regarding Obama: what a pile of crap Obama is!
