This video appears to be from at least six weeks ago, but no one has really commented on it. Do we want a commander in chief who can't use a computer without assistance?

Man and we thought having a president who uses "the google" on "The internets" was bad.

Well. Maybe his wife can launch the nuclear weapons for him. Or sign those bills granting tax incentives to breweries for exploring alternative energies.

Pretty weak "smear" attempt, but not surprising considering it was posted by the Obamagirl.
I'm sure McCain knows we only have 50 states and the U.S. Army didn't liberate Poland and its concentration camps, unlike the lying Obama.

Ahhh the god ole day of tag you're it, Red Rover Red Rover,,, catching fire flies,,,,,, your Mom or Dad whistling for you from the porch at dusk for you to come home instead of texting you or calling you on the cell, drinking from water hoses,,,, when race issues was only about how to win the foot race,,,,, when some words had a different meaning than they do now,,,,,, a Drive-by was done bike and with the wave of a hand,,,,, when a good stick and your imagination was all one needed,,,,,, when you come exhausted from 'playing'. And the best of all the good ole days when we weren't zombie slaves of technology.

FTA:
In 1979 â;; while still married to Carol â;; he met Cindy at a cocktail party in Hawaii. Over the next six months he pursued her, flying around the country to see her. Then he began to push to end his marriage.
DARN!!
Seems liek EVERTIME we Christian Conservatives Arrogantly promote our Moral Superiority on ever issue ... the legislators we support SLAM us to the floor!!
In retrospek ... maybe it woulda been better for everbody involved if we accepted that the only Religion we REALLY believe in is ---
'To Always Keep Everthing the Same ... Dont Help Others ... Pursue a Ideologie that Promotes Welfare for the Wealthy ... and ... Intolerance to Individual Expression'.
Amen.

dag nab it! McCain is only seven years older than I am, & I get around the net just fine. So does my dad, who is in his 90's. McCain being illiterate about computers speaks to his curiosity, not to mention his lack of wanting to be a part of this time. He's intellectually stunted by choice, not age.

jordan11 -- As a practicing engineer I've had to keep up with computers in general; though sometimes the stuff has come pretty fast. I rate myself as an experienced user. But not all people have to keep up. Personally, I've interacted with industrial execs maybe 10 years younger than I am (I'm 60) who seem to have no more than a primitive knowledge. So McC doesn't surprise me, though he's kind of on the fringe. IMHO anyone born after about 1960 has no excuse.

N2N I don't agree with you that he is too old. As to the rest I do agree with you.
For me, I expect the president to know (how in the name of God has he been a politican? Oh I get it he has his secretary type ALL of his documents and e-mails. That's just wrong.) how to get around on the computer. I'm not expecting a computer genuis. But to at least know how to use Office Documents and send e-mails. That's putting way to much trust in your staff. Sorry there are just some things I expect the Commander in Chief to know how to do and using the Internet, Computer and sending e-mails are included.

Hey, to this day most high flying executives don't really know how to use a computer except perhaps as any average mousepusher does.
The common take being that they don't have to as they can easily outsource it to paid staff etc. - with hardly anyone ever pointing out the fact that this, of course, puts them entirely at the mercy of others.

We've now come full circle. In my first year in engineering (1968) we were expected to handwrite reports and/or letters and have secretaries type them. Then we would proofread, OK them, and they would send them out in our name.
Now for the most part we type them all ourselves or use e mail. It saves secretary time and on the whole the cycle moves more quickly. But sometimes it seems like there's a net loss in the time available to do real work.
Unquestionably the computer has been a boon to many areas. But for some areas one sometimes wonders whether we were just as well off without.

I would pretty much go along with those impressions, chevy.
The idea of the "paperless office" which was to result from computerization, has certainly been exposed as entirely false.
Computers in my office have greatly expanded the amount of hard copy to be stored, while at the same time have drastically reduced human interaction.
Areas such as research and network-building have benefitted enormously of course, but so has the potential for staff to time-waste in countless imaginative ways!
I guess it's a "swings and roundabouts" situation, in more ways than one. But at my age (60 today) I could not imagine being computer-illiterate, and the thought that a future C-in-C might be, is a chilling one.

Oh, phile, and what sort of 'job' is it, exactly, that 'Bush has done on the (C)onstitution (I assume you are referring to THE US Constitution? Perhaps not?)
Just what Constitutional right have you been deprived of, recently? Or EVER, for that matter?
One continually reads these 'Bush is destroying the Constitution' comments from people such as yourself, but NEVER do I actually learn of some poor soul who was dragged off to prison for uttering the type of mindless anti-Americanism that pours from your posts.
I have one question: if Bush has done a 'job' on the Constitution, then why aren't YOU in prison?
