Obama mocks McCain for war injury limitation

With falling poll numbers and worried backers, Obama has vowed sharper attacks on McCain and Palin.

In doing so, a new Obama ad mocks McCain for being computer illiterate.

The ad says

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.

A report at the link below tells why McCain doesn’t do e-mail.

Well, I guess it depends on what you mean by "extraordinary."

The reason he doesn't send email is that he can't use a keyboard because of the relentless beatings he received from the Viet Cong in service to our country. From the Boston Globe (March 4, 2000):

McCain's severe war injuries prevent him from combing his hair, typing on a keyboard, or tying his shoes.

The report continues:

In a similar vein I guess it's an outrage that the blind governor of New York David Patterson doesn't know how to drive a car. After all, transportation issues are pretty important. How dare he serve as governor while being ignorant of what it's like to navigate New York's highways.

Some say, So what if he was handicapped? He could still learn how to send email.

Sure, but why would he? Bill Clinton sent two emails during his entire presidency and often admitted he didn't know squat about the Internet.
