What’s the Subject of Obama’s First Attack Ad on Issues that “Matter to Families”? John McCain’s War Injuries
Oh, dear. Nancy boy crybaby Obama is angry…again. He’s promised to get fierce with John McCain and go on the attack. But his attacks won’t be just any attack. Oh, no. They’ll be important attacks.
“I will guarantee, we are going to hit back hard,” he pledged. “But we are going to hit back hard on the issues that matter to families.”
So what issue that matters to families did he tackle first?
John McCain’s inability to use e-mail.
Well, I’m sure that’s dinnertime conversation in the Obama household, but out here in the sticks, where we have a deathgrip on God and our guns with one hand while scooping deep-fried roadkill into our pieholes with the other, we could give a rat’s patoot about John McCain’s e-mail ability.
As it happens, John McCain can use e-mail. He just got a late start on it. Part of that is because he’s 72 years old and if you know more than five folks close to that age who use their e-mail easily and routinely, you’re living in the retirement home from the movie Cocoon.
The bigger reason he got a late start on the wonderful world of cheap Viagra and generous Nigerian princes is because he spent a few years being crippled by the North Vietnamese, suffering injuries so severe that he couldn’t lift his hands high enough to comfortably use a computer keyboard. Jonah Goldberg found this out after a few minutes with a wonder of the online world – the search engine – that neither Barack Obama nor anyone in his staff seem to know how to use.
Of course, the possibility does exist that Obama knew that McCain spent a good chunk of his adult life unable to lift his arms to keyboard level but decided to make fun of him because of it anyhow.
Either way, Barack Obama’s first hard-hitting ad on an issue that matters to families is one that makes fun of a war hero’s crippling injuries.
And he did that after a whole week where his unleashed hounds savaged Sarah Palin’s pregnant teenaged daughter and her Down’s Syndrome son.
Awesome job there, Obamessiah!
Is there anyone on Obama’s staff who got there because they were competent, or did the interview consist solely of finding out who could salaam the lowest when he walked by?
The ad is below the jump.
UPDATE: Ace, using that miraculous device called Google, found another article on John McCain’s e-mail aptitude. Turns out he’s an “inveterate devotee of email” who has to dictate his responses to his wife at night for her to type because it’s too freaking painful for him to type them himself.
Oh, and if you’re reading this and happen to be on the Obama campaign, “inveterate” means habitual. It especially refers to a habit created through persistence.
You know, the kind of persistence a man might have developed getting the snot kicked out of him for 5 1/2 years in a prison camp or the kind of persistence shown by a man who made a habit out of something that caused him physical pain.
Barack Obama can make plenty of attacks on John McCain (shamnesty, anyone?) but he sure as hell can’t bag on him for his e-mail habits or claim that his age has slowed him down any.

If it weren’t such a serious and sad matter that Senator McCain is left with painful injuries for serving his country, I would be howling at your portrayal of the stupidity of Obama camp. I might add, Obama would be best NOT to broach the subject of amnesty either because he doesn’t have anything meaningful or helpful to our country to say about it.
Thanks for the great laugh…we have to you know because this borders on the surreal. You are right–his minions can not use a search engine because they are too busy kow-towing.
Note the dates for the different quotes.
They were reading the same articles that contain the whole story.
They are just ripping quotes out of context.

@ptama – Horsepiddle.
McCain has not said one word about his injuries in relation to this article. In fact, his campaign asked Jake Tapper not to report on the pain that using a computer keyboard causes him.
Shame on you for not being better informed before spouting off with an Obama talking point.
Obama stooped to a new low.
Ptama-thank our God you can spout your bullshit here.
And I would love a link, that actually shows, you know, the FULL CONTEXT in which John McCain said he was out of touch. Can you provide it? Because I really mean this in all sincerity, I will eat my keyboard if he actually said those words.
Here we go again, use the POW experience to cry foul. Noun- Verb- POW
We all use computers, The commercial speaks to how McCain is out of touch with everyday Americans. He said so himself in the recent 911 forum.
[...] D’oh! But that’s Obama’s “executive experience!” To his credit, though, Obama has pulled the ad from internet and TV. (Correction: no, he hasn’t. Jimmie Bise says Epic Fail! [...]
This will no doubt come as a shock to the Obamanites, but the President has a _secretary_!!
He tells him/her to send a message to xx, and the secretary does it. That might be by phone, by email, or by US Mail…but the president doesn't do it him/herself. The secretary probably even signs the president's name…can you imagine that? Why, I'm even old enough to remember when it was common for young women to take Gregg shorthand – you know, so a boss could dictate a letter, and the secretary would _type_ it! The boss didn't even know how to type…can you imagine that? The CEO of a _big_ company couldn't even type his own letters! How do you suppose such an incompetent managed!!
And Kings in the days of yore…they didn't _do_ stuff either. They simply said "let it be done" and guess what…it got done!
So Obama ridicules all the seniors who have arthritis, or who have vision problems, or who just really would rather do something else rather than wrestle with a 404 error…and who _VOTE_, because he thinks that he's more impressed with those who can text, have a myspace page, or myface page…but who aren't likely to vote.
Egad.
And by the way…I'm not over 70 yet, but I can see it from here!
@ptama –
Obama and his groverelers should be running out of excuses and twisted thinking soon.
Face it HE blew IT… Ran it right in the ground.
He said he was "IN CHARGE" of his campaign so he had executive experience. BLAH BLAH BLAH
THE TRUTH HURTS HUH ITS ALL TRUE MAYBE MCCAIN NEEDS TO START OVER FROM PRE-K ITS NEVER TO LATE
Wow, that's one hell of an argument, I don't think I can top that. Really.
Poor Obama. He can’t win in the arena of ideas so he has to go cesspool diving to come up with this? Well when you see Obama has zero ideas, aside from the usual Communist Manifesto ones, how can he be expected to come up with something that makes sense?
If you need proof of his intellectual abilities or talents just look at the comments of his supporters. I’ve seen carrots with higher IQs.
