Obama ad klandrar McCain för att inte kunna sända email

I denna Demokratiska kampanj-ad klandrar Obama McCain för att inte kunna sända e-mails:



I en artikel i Los Angeles Times försvarar dock Jonah Goldberg McCain och skriver följande ganska lustiga, och tänkvärda betraktelse gällande reklam ad:en ifråga:

One reason McCain is not versed in the mechanical details of sending e-mail and typing on a keyboard is that the North Vietnamese broke his fingers and shattered both of his arms. As Forbes, Slate and the Boston Globe reported in 2000, McCain's injuries make using a keyboard painfully laborious. He mostly relies on his wife and staff to show him e-mails and websites, though he says he's getting up to speed.

"It's extraordinary," Obama spokesman Dan Pfeiffer said, "that someone who wants to be our president and our commander in chief doesn't know how to send an e-mail." For the record, President Clinton sent exactly two e-mails while in office, according to the archives in his presidential library.

Besides, by this logic, Obama is even less qualified to be commander in chief because, unlike McCain, Obama has never fired a gun, flown a plane or led men during wartime.
