Obama - Wrong Again
Obama gets is wrong again, here’s the new ”get tough” ad from Obama.
Doesn’t know how to use a computer? I think the Obama campaign has overlooked a few things.
A transcript from The New York Times, July 13, 2008
“The Times Interviews John McCain
Following are excerpts of a transcript of an interview conducted by The New York Times’s Adam Nagourney and Michael Cooper with Senator John McCain in Hudson, Wis., on July 11. The answers are transcribed verbatim; some of the questions are paraphrased. The other people Mr. McCain refers to, who were in the room, are his wife, Cindy; Mark Salter, a senior adviser; Brook Buchanan, his press secretary; and John Taylor, an economic adviser.
Q: Do you use a blackberry or email?
Mr. McCain: No
Mark Salter: He uses a BlackBerry, just ours.
Mr. McCain: I use the Blackberry, but I don’t e-mail, I’ve never felt the particular need to e-mail. I read e-mails all the time, but the communications that I have with my friends and staff are oral and done with my cell phone. I have the luxury of being in contact with them literally all the time. We now have a phone on the plane that is usable on the plane, so I just never really felt a need to do it. But I do – could I just say, really – I understand the impact of blogs on American politics today and political campaigns. I understand that. And I understand that something appears on one blog, can ricochet all around and get into the evening news, the front page of The New York Times. So, I do pay attention to the blogs. And I am not in any way unappreciative of the impact that they have on entire campaigns and world opinion.”
And this from The Boston Globe By Mary Leonard, Globe Staff, 3/4/2000
“McCain’s severe war injuries prevent him from combing his hair, typing on a keyboard, or tying his shoes.”
And what about “Tax Breaks” for corporations? Corporations don’t really pay taxes. Actually they do but taxes are part of the cost of doing business. Those costs are passed on to the consumers in higher prices for goods and services. Obama is hoping you are educated in a government school and are unable to understand this.
After all, how do Democrats get elected? They use lies and distorted facts. They count on the dumb masses to be ignorant of the facts, playing on the human emotions of envy and greed. THEY ARE GOOD AT IT!
Maybe the next Obama ad will say that John McCain never learned to tie his shoes either. That will probably be next.

Here’s a different spin on the story from Little Green Footballs “McCain Sets ‘Em Up, Knocks ‘Em Down.” It’s suggested that
“John McCain’s self-deprecating statements about not “getting” the Internet”
were thrown out as a setup to the Obama campaign, and they ran with it. If Obama is so gullible, then what happens when Obama is duped by a world power such as Russia or China or Iran for that matter? In that light, maybe it would have been better for Obama to appear with the “Not Ready for Prime-Time Players” of Saturday Night Live after all. Clearly Obama is not ready for “prime-time” himself. It would have been a perfect fit.
