I suppose that when Obama is president he’ll spend lots of time surfing the internet, sending e-mails and having chats.

Age discrimination - like 'same old fish' is a stinking fish. Appealing to the young folk as the bearers of all wisdom because they've been raised with computers. Makes ya sick.

A fighter pilot landing on a carrier in difficult weather conditions certainly conjures up visions of why a community organizer is more technically literate (LOL). These Rats keep stepping on the only thing they ever think with.

You know it might’ve occured to Obama’s camp before the insulting commercial that there are a great number of people in the over 45yo age range that know zero about computers too and as the age goes up the percentage goes down. Since there are more voters over the age 0f 45 than those under IMHO it was a grave mistake to again call those people stupid! My DM is 67 and can play solitarie but that is it and that new commercial has all in her elderly building upset!

Thanks for posting this.

Besides, Internet is easy. My kids had to teach me how to use Windows.

When I was trying to learn it (after DOS) my daughter just told me (she was 12 at the time): “Mom, just look at the pictures!!”

McCain could do it, but just like a lot of folks, they just don’t want to take the time. Their life works (and has worked) just fine without it.

A VERY excellent point. Being a fighter pilot, especially one that takes off and lands on aircraft carriers takes a LOT of intelligence, and skill. Honestly, after watching the last few commercials Obama’s people have come out with, combined with his public comments (like lipstick) it would seem that Obama really DOESN’T want to win. They are continually digging themselves holes.

As a response to the Obambi man-child, McCain's team should put together a video showing an A4 doing a nighttime carrier landing during a storm at sea. Talk about complex, technical, and terrifying.

At the end of the video they can show Obambi operating his wussy little MAC computer.

One thing Obama is saying is that the elderly have no value. To the elderly, or senior citizens, computers are not the most important things in their lives. Obama only wishes he had the experience that seniors have. He might be worth something.

LSUfan (not a big LSU fan after what they did to beloved Irish in the 2007 Sugar Bowl), you captured in one picture the most powerful argument to one of the left’s most imbecilic claims in an attempt to belittle Senator John McCain.

The question is; So, obambi — do you know what a tail-hook is used for?

Can you take off/land a jet from a pitching and rolling aircraft carrier during general quarters...hum punk, well can ya...didn’t think so — now sit down and STFU, adults are talking!

Excellent post!

Yeah, but that's all mechanical, and hydraulic, and stuff. Old Tech. Practically Victorian. Not a microcircuit to be seen, and so of no consequence, y’know?

And he flew it into the guns of people just as “backward,” and more than once. More stones than sense. I wonder how Obama scores THAT way? I can guess.

I've flown both versions of that bird,with a afterburner and without. It was a sports car with out the burner and it climbed like a homesick angel with it. You didn't sit in it you strapped it on. you could almost think it through maneuvers.

This “John McCain doesn't know who to use an ipod” strategy is utterly ridiculous.

As you point out, he flew fighter aircraft. Once this is pointed out, Obama’s people look foolish.

Secondly, I don't care if my President doesn't have an ipod. He's not in a coolness contest with Obama. Again, making this comparison makes Obama look “cool” but hardly Presidential.

Also, older people vote more than young people. Older people will empathize with McCain.

Foolish move on Obama’s part. His entire staff must live in some weird bubble where Wired magazine and MTV emerge as the key demographic of their campaign.

Cheney’s got a weather raygun under the gulf of mexico on a submarine.

Does this mean something’s wrong with Cheney or is there a technical glitch with the raygun since New Orleans is safe and Galveston is in the line of fire?

1982 - McCain was a footsoldier in the Reagan revolution, and had laready been a war hero, a POW, a leader of the largest naval squadron, and won election to Congress ...

Obama was doing this ...

“Junkie. Pothead. That’s where I’d been headed: the final, fatal role of the young would-be black man. Except the highs hadn’t been about that, me trying to prove what a down brother I was. Not by then, anyway. I got high for just the opposite effect, something that could push questions of who I was out of my mind, something that could flatten out the landscape of my heart, blur the edges of my memory. I had discovered that it didn’t make any difference whether you smoked reefer in the white classmate’s sparkling new van, or in the dorm room of some brother you’d met down at the gym, or on the beach with a couple of Hawaiian kids who had dropped out of school and now spent most of their time looking for an excuse to brawl. ...You might just be bored, or alone. Everybody was welcome into the club of disaffection.” — Barack Obama

If you noticed, McCain hands are in bad shape due to his Injuries in Nam and resultant arthritis I wouldn’t be surprised if the condition of his hands makes punching a keyboard difficult. Seems like a good opportunity to put together a counter video together reminding people of this fact followed by some images of the fighter with cockpit that he flew.

And if you know the types of old geezers I know, once they DO know computers, they send out emails every day to everyone they know ...

And it wont be pro-Obama emails either with this kind of nonsense.

Bush took the same grief about his flying TANG jets “over the Gulf of Mexico,” as if that were moron’s work. I’d love to see the people who attack them on their lack of technolgy expertise even start to fly one of these things.

Two points:

1) Obambi just lost even MORE of the vote of those people over 50 - treating them like they're stupid.

2) The McCain campaign should use your idea as a commercial. It would blow Obambi's butt clear out of the water!

This is a great response. Good job!

I’d like to point out one thing though - for accuracy sake - .... Obama was like 6yrs old when he moved to Indonesia, so he probably wasn’t in diapers then. Though he was in diapers when McCain was a pilot. :~ )

I don't know if it happened to him, but when i ejected from an F-4 in Nam, I lost my grip on the face curtain with my right hand. This caused the wind to force it back and up.. it dislocated my shoulder.. now that I'm older (ain't sayin how old, but JSM was a POW when I was flying in Nam)I have numbness and tingling in that arm with a very reduced range of motion from arthritis
