   I didn’t even think about the use of his arms and the use of a keyboard – good point.

   I saw a body language expert on Bill O’Reilly talk about how McCain should put his hands behind his back when he is standing so he doesn’t look nervous, I doubt he can grasp his hands behind his back. Ignorance of the public is one thing, of a campaign is another.

   I would note that not only is McCain too injured to type on the keyboard (which is the real reason his wife does it for him), but that McCain is in fact considered one of the most technologically savvy of the Sitting Senators.

   So Obama’s attack was completely false. McCain knows all about the internet, and e-mail. McCain of course is very familiar with technology — at one time in his life, he flew fighter jets. He is a veteran of the telecommunications committee.

   McCain must be laughing his *ss off right now. Obama is so naive that he didn’t know that McCain was really a technology bufff, too stupid to use google to find out why McCain didn’t type on a computer, too arrogant to think a guy older than him could actually BE technologically literate, and apparently too proud to ask Joe Biden before he approved this commercial.

   Isn’t this why Biden is on the ticket — to keep Obama from making stupid mistakes like this? If Obama will attack a war hero for his injuries, we can’t trust him to bargain with our enemies.

   Because someone flew a fighter jet over 40 years ago, he’s automatically computer savvy?

   Can someone explain to me why POTUS needs to be computer savvy ? Isn’t that why he has a staff ?

   Lovisa, have you ever in your life looked into the cockpit of a military jet, even one from 40 years ago? What do you think McCain was flying? A Sopworth Camel? Certainly, the jets of today are far more technologically complex, but flying during the Vietnam War was not like playing with tinker toys. Rather than use the words “computer savvy”, try “technology savvy”.

   Great article from Jonah Goldberg on McCain and the use of his arms:

   Like most wounded vets, the issue of his disability is probably not something McCain shouts from the rooftops. I will chalk Obama’s Ad up as mocking an injured war vet and ignorance.

   Cmac, thanks for this.

   One would think the first priority of a “tech savvy” candidate would be to check the facts. Obama fails this test miserably. McCain may not be able to send an email. but able-bodied Obama can’t use google !!!

   What a putz..

   Leftists do not care about facts, only ideology. Facts contradict their ideology, so they do not bother to look for them, and dismiss them out of hand when presented with any.

    This is really interesting.

    Lovisa, would be interested in your thoughts on this man research when you return from 3 weeks of fun.

    OBAMA’s LIES:

    1.) Selma Got Me Born – NOT EXACTLY, your parents felt safe enough to have you in 1961 – Selma had no effect on your birth, as Selma was in 1965. (Google ‘Obama Selma ‘ for his full March 4, 2007 speech and articles about its various
    untruths.)

    2.) My Father Was A Goat Herder – NOT EXACTLY, he was a privileged, well educated youth, who went on to work with the Kenyan Government.

    3.) My Father Was A Proud Freedom Fighter – NOT EXACTLY, he was part of one of the most corrupt and violent governments Kenya has ever had.

    4.) My Family Has Strong Ties To African Freedom – NOT EXACTLY, your cousin Raila Odinga has created mass violence in attempting to overturn a legitimate election in 2007, in Kenya . It is the first widespread violence in decades. The current government is pro-American but Odinga wants to overthrow it and establish Muslim Sharia law. Your half-brother, Abongo Obama, is Odinga’s follower. You interrupted your New Hampshire campaigning to speak to Odinga on the phone.

    5.) Obama’s cousin Odinga in Kenya ran for president and tried to get Sharia Muslim law in place there. When Odinga lost the elections, his followers burned Christians’ homes and then burned men, women and children alive in a Christian church where they took shelter. Obama SUPPORTED his cousin before the election process here started. Google Obama and Odinga and see what you get. No one wants to know the truth.

    6.) My Grandmother Has Always Been A Christian – NOT EXACTLY, she does her daily Salat prayers at 5 am according to her own interviews. Not to mention, Christianity wouldn’t allow her to have been one of 14 wives to 1 man.

    7.) My Name is African Swahili – NOT EXACTLY, your name is Arabic and ‘Baraka’ (from which Barack came) means ‘blessed’ in that language. Hussein is also Arabic and so is Obama.

    OBAMA’s LIES (continued):

    8.) Barack Hussein Obama is not half black. If elected, he would be the first
    Arab-American President, not the first black President. Barack Hussein Obama is 50% Caucasian from his mother’s side and 43.75% Arabic and 6.25% African Negro from his father’s side. While Barack Hussein Obama’s father was from Kenya , his father’s family was mainly Arabs. Barack Hussein Obama’s father was only 12.5% African Negro and 87.5% Arab (his father’s birth certificate even states he’s Arab, not African Negro). From….and for more….go to…..

    9.) h

    10.) I Never Practiced Islam – NOT EXACTLY, you practiced it daily at school, where you were registered as a Muslim and kept that faith for 31 years, until your wife made you change, so you could run for office.

    12.) My School In Indonesia was Christian – NOT EXACTLY, you were registered as Muslim there and got in trouble in Koranic Studies for making faces (check your own book).

    13.) February 28, 2008. Kristoff from the New York Times a year ago: Mr. Obama recalled the opening lines of the Arabic call to prayer, reciting them with a first-rate accent. In a remark that seemed delightfully uncalculated (it’ll give Alabama voters heart attacks), Mr. Obama described the call to prayer as ‘one of the prettiest sounds on earth at sunset.’ This is just one example of what Pamela is talking about when she says ‘Obama’s narrative is being altered, enhanced and manipulated to whitewash
    troubling facts.’

    14.) I Was Fluent In Indonesian – NOT EXACTLY, not one teacher says you could speak the language.

    15.) Because I Lived In Indonesia , I Have More Foreign Experience – NOT EXACTLY, you were there from the ages of 6 to 10, and couldn’t even speak the language. What did you learn, how to study the Koran.

    16.) I Am Stronger On Foreign Affairs – NOT EXACTLY, except for Africa (surprise) and the Middle East (bigger surprise), you have never been anywhere else on the planet and thus have NO experience with our closest allies.

    17.) I Blame My Early Drug Use On Ethnic Confusion – NOT EXACTLY, you were quite content in high school to be Barry Obama, no mention of Kenya and no mention of struggle to identify – your classmates said you were just fine.

    18.) An Ebony Article Moved Me To Run For Office – NOT EXACTLY, Ebony has yet to find the article you mention in your book. It doesn’t, and never did, exist.

    19.) A Life Magazine Article Changed My outlook on Life – NOT EXACTLY, Life has yet to find the article you mention in your book. It doesn’t, and never did, exist.

    20.) I Won’t Run On A National Ticket In ‘08 – NOT EXACTLY, here you are, despite saying, live on TV, that you would not have enough experience by then, and you are all about having experience first.

    21.) Voting ‘Present’ is common in the Illinois Senate – NOT EXACTLY, they are common for YOU, but not many others have 130 ‘NO VOTES’.

    22.) ‘Oops, I Misvoted’ – NOT EXACTLY, only when caught by church groups and Democrats, did you beg to change your misvote.

    23.) I Was A Professor Of Law – NOT EXACTLY, you were a senior lecturer ON LEAVE.

    24.) I Was A Constitutional Lawyer – NOT EXACTLY, you were a senior lecturer ON LEAVE.

    25.) Without Me, There Would Be No Ethics Bill – NOT EXACTLY, you didn’t write it, introduce it, change it, or create it.

    26.) The Ethics Bill Was Hard To Pass – NOT EXACTLY, it took just 14 days from start to finish.

    27.) I Wrote A Tough Nuclear Bill – NOT EXACTLY, your bill was rejected by your own party for its pandering and lack of all regulation – mainly because of your Nuclear donor, Exelon, from which David Axelrod came.

    28.) I Have Released My State Records – NOT EXACTLY, as of March, 2008, state bills you sponsored or voted for have yet to be released, exposing all the special interests pork hidden within.

    30.) My Economics Bill Will Help America – NOT EXACTLY, your 111 economic policies were just combined into a proposal which lost 99-0, and even YOU voted against your
    own bill.

    31.) I Have Been A Bold Leader In Illinois – NOT EXACTLY, even your own supporters claim to have not seen BOLD action on your part.

    32.) I Passed 26 Of My Own Bills In One Year – NOT EXACTLY, they were not YOUR
    bills, but rather handed to you, after their creation by a fellow Senator, to assist you in a future bid for higher office.

    33.) No One on my campaign contacted Canada about NAFTA – NOT EXACTLY, the Canadian Government issued the names and a memo of the conversation your campaign had with them.

    34.) I Am Tough On Terrorism – NOT EXACTLY, you missed the Iran Resolution vote on terrorism and your good friend Ali Abunimah supports the destruction of Israel ..

    35.) I Want All Votes To Count – NOT EXACTLY, you said let the delegates decide.

    36.) I Want Americans To Decide – NOT EXACTLY, you prefer caucuses that limit the vote, confuse the voters, force a public vote, and only operate during small windows of time.

    37.) I passed 900 Bills in the State Senate – NOT EXACTLY, you passed only 26, most of which you didn’t write yourself.

    38.) I Believe In Fairness, Not Tactics – NOT EXACTLY, you used tactics to eliminate Alice Palmer from running against you.

    39.) I Don’t Take PAC Money – NOT EXACTLY, you take loads of it.

    40.) I don’t Have Lobbyists – NOT EXACTLY, you have over 47 lobbyists, and counting.

    41.) My Campaign Had Nothing To Do With The 1984 Ad – NOT EXACTLY, your own campaign worker made the ad on his Apple in one afternoon.

    43.) I Have Always Supported Universal Health Care – NOT EXACTLY, your plan leaves us all to pay for the 15,000,000 who don’t have to buy it

    JERUSALEM – The official campaign website of Sen. Barack Obama has completely scrubbed a series of user-generated blog postings
    on the candidate’s site by a former top Communist activist Mike Klonsky
    who is an associate of former Weathermen terrorist leader William Ayers.

    The move has raised questions regarding Obama’s relationship with the deleted blogger, Mike Klonsky, who runs an education organization that was founded by Ayers and that received a substantial grant from a group directed by Obama
