"Hey - Barak - Here is an ad I think you should run with."
"Gee Thanks Bill. I will get right on it!"

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.

Holy Cow! The story made AOL. Someone at AOL is going to lose his / her job.
How low will Obama go? The man makes me sick.
I guess he'll have to throw himself under the bus by saying, "that's not the Barack Obama I knew...."
I hope the mccain people are working up a suitable bomb to drop on hussein the muslim regarding this and then no let up, keep hammering away with it. maybe some images of John at the hanoi hilton interspersed with some images of hussein playing in his sandbox (or wherever the hell he was from ‘65-’73) during those years and then some mention of just why John has trouble with a keyboard.
“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.”
I agree. He is detestable.
Will people finally stop calling Obama intelligent now?
This guy has no Respect at all for anything sacred to REAL americans.
Hate’s the military, won’t wear a flag pin or even say why he thinks this is a great country. What makes him qualified. But to make fun of a man who SUFFERED and was Tortured and wouldn’t leave his men behind.
He knew without each other they wouldn’t survive. He kept his PRIDE in his Country the entire time. Refusing to bow to propaganda and make things easier on himself.
Those SCARS OBAMA are what show his HEROISM and PRIDE IN COUNTRY. What can you say for yourself little man.
You really are just a stupid, cowardly , little street punk huh? Well you little know nothing jerk his scars are worth a million HARVARD diploma’s in my eyes.
Tell more of his achievments and lessons learned in the School of Hard Knocks. Your ivy league diploma is TOILET PAPER when compared to McCains loyalty, service, and devotion to this great nation.
When were you proud of this country? EVER? What did community service teach you? Don’t trust Whitey.
But Men like McCain did fight and bleed and some died so your stupid arrogant campaign could ridicule the man for his injuries.
He’s old.
We all get it but your supposed to show them some respect. Learn from their wisodom and experience.
Your Grandma needs to take you over her knee and use her belt to Whoop some sense into you! Teach you some manners and respect for older folks.
I watched some of Pastor Manning’s videos on youtube last night. He really goes off on Obama and Obama’s momma.
He cracks me up.
“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”
If Obama and staff have so much computer savvy why didn’t they know this before running the add?
So now the Democrats are making fun of pregnant teenage girls, babys with Downs Syndrome, and POWs who are disabled because of enemy torture. Is there anything left? How about they make fun of blind people, or people with cancer? I am sure there is some level of depravity the Democrats have not yet reached but will reach soon, although I cannot quite imagine what that would be.
“How low will Obama go?”
Good question. I also wonder how long the Dems will stick with this idiot. There must be some serious remorse going on at planet Dem.
And another thing —
In 1982, I was in elementary school. I played on a computer and with a rubik’s cube.
But I wasn’t qualified to be president, now was I?
Ridiculous ad. Simply juvenile.
