Between this and Palin, Id say the Democrats just lost the handicapped vote. True but he has really solidified the "raving ding-dong" vote. On the other hand, that *is* his base...

It is called a secretary. Something that comes with the office for free. Well that's great. It's nice to know someone gives up their time makes no income to help him out :>}

It's pretty clear exactly where Obama is going:
"Although it has been suggested that the strongly hierarchical and anti-individualistic "bugs" in
Starship Troopers were meant to represent the Chinese or Japanese, Heinlein wrote the book in response to calls for the unilateral ending of nuclear testing by the U.S., so it is more likely that they were intended to represent
communism. Indeed,
Heinlein suggests in the book that the bugs are a good example of communism being something that humans cannot adhere successfully to, since humans are of individual minds, whereas the bugs, being a collective, can all contribute to the whole without consideration of individual desire. The slugs in
The Puppet Masters are likewise explicitly and repeatedly identified as metaphors for communism."
Did Robert Heinlein anticipate the Internet, or Obama? Regardless, the internet is clearly seen by collectivists as one of the means by which the individual will be subjugated by the collective, Fascist, hive.
Yes, fascist. When the organizational structure becomes the object of worship and servitude - that is the classic definition of Fascism.

Technology is a tool to be used - not a god to be worshipped.

How in the hell does this commercial slip past Joe Biden who's had to have known for 30+ years that his fellow US Senator John McCain has physical limitations caused by his brutal interrogation at the hands of his North Vietnamese captors?Unlike the Dems/Liberals who use their weaknesses/injuries/disabilities as a path to true victimhood, Senator McCain kept the extent of injuries to himself. He apparently did/nor does not want, pity, or extra, visible measures on his behalf.
I did not know until these last two weeks the extent of Mr. McCain's injuries, nor did I know that he was a fine person. I had swallowed the MSM line about Mr. McCain's DISqualifications for CIC of the USA.
Yeah, I think Obama's campaign is not asking Joe anything...to their detriment and our good.

Biden is actually running for re-election for his seat this year. Against a woman!

Um, was that meant as a joke, because HIS WIFE does exactly that. Or should his wife bill him?

McCain was subject to the Vietnamese "Rope Torture" on many occasions. His room mate for a time at the Hanoi Hilton, Col "Bud" Day (Medal of Honor recepient), was subject to this torture and to this day cannot totally function either because of his injuries.
____________________________________________________________________
From McCain's own account:
They later said that their first impression of me, emaciated, bug-eyed and bright with fever, was of a man at the threshold of death. They thought the Vietnamese expected me to die, and had placed me in their care to escape the blame when I failed to recover. Bud had been seriously injured when he ejected. After he was captured, he had attempted an escape and had nearly reached an American airfield when he was recaptured. His captors had looped rope around his shoulders, tightened it until his shoulders were nearly touching, and then hung him by the arms from the rafter of the torture room, tearing his shoulders apart. Left in this condition for hours, Bud never acceded to Vietnamese-demands for military information. They had to break his already broken right arm a second time, and threaten to break the other before Bud gave them anything at all. Because of his injuries, Bud was unable to help with my physical care. Norris, a gentle, uncomplaining guy, cleaned me up, fed me, helped me onto the bucket that served as our toilet and massaged my leg.

This method of torture is still common in Asia. It is used in China, Vietnam, and other nations to this day.

Obama, you want to make fun of John McCain because he cannot used a keyboard?

You are nothing but a cowardly, tissue paper resume little jerk.
To: SkyPilot
What a horrible thing to go through and Obama is making fun of John McCain’s inability to use a keyboard.
Thank you for the details of what an American Hero suffered through in Vietnam.
Hussein Obama is an a$$ and should be kicked out of the Senate after he endorsed this ad.
For an encore, Obama may want to consider putting kittens in the microwave. He is a disgusting person.

Uh, Does she goto work with him too at the Capitol Building? I doubt it. Whether or not he wants to use a computer is HIS choice. HOWEVER his injury as such does not make it impossible for him John McCain to use a computer by himself which Obama said he could not do.

The MSM isn’t going to “rake Obama over the coals”. Never!
It’s up to us....and maybe Fox News.

McCain probably won’d make the response personally, as he
is fairly modest when it comes to his incarceration and
war injuries....but his ALLIES/SUPPORTERS need to make sure this is
out there!
Just like we are here!

I’m sure others have already done it, but I just sent the
link to this article to Sean Hannity. Maybe he’ll have
something to say about it next time he has a show.
