Obama Says McCain Doesn’t Know How To Use A Computer

Barack Obama’s campaign has started a new ad war today, and will step up attacks on John McCain. Obama campaign manager David Plouffe said, “today is the first day of the rest of the campaign. We will respond with speed and ferocity to John McCain’s attacks and we will take the fight to him, but we will do it on the big issues that matter to the American people.” One of the first issues they want to address is McCain’s lack of computer knowledge. As Obama spokesman Dan Pfeiffer points out, “our economy wouldn’t survive without the Internet, and cyber-security continues to represent one our most serious national security threats. It’s extraordinary that someone who wants to be our president and our commander in chief doesn’t know how to send an e-mail.” The new ad starts with an old picture of McCain at a hearing wearing some really cool glasses. The announcer says, “1982, John McCain goes to Washington. Things have changed in the last 26 years, but McCain hasn’t.” “He admits he still doesn’t know how to use a computer, can’t send an e-mail, still doesn’t understand the economy, and favors two hundred billion in new tax cuts for corporations, but almost nothing for the middle class,” it says as it shows pictures of McCain hanging with President Bush. “After one president who was out of touch, we just can’t afford more of the same.”
UPDATE; McCain spokesman Tucker Bounds said today that the McCain “travels with a laptop, and knows how to use a computer.”
