Two new TV commercials have
popped up on the airwaves.
One from each campaign. The
media is complaining loud and
strong over the McCain ad that
replays portions of a speech
Obama gave to Planned Parent-
hood on July 18, 2007.  

Obama was telling them about
how Alan Keyes made an issue
of an Obama position when they
ran against each other for U.S.
Senate.  "I remember Alan
Keyes...I remember him using
this in his campaign against
me.  Barack Obama supports
teaching sex education to kin-
dergartners.  Which...I didn't
know what to tell him."

After Obama and the audience
chuckle over how backwards
such criticism is, he adds this:
"But it's the right thing to do,
to provide age-appropriate sex
education, science-based edu-
cation in schools."  The McCain
ad only uses the first part, "But
it's the right thing to do..."

This caused quite the outrage
from the media and the Left in
general.  How dare McCain be
so mean-spirited!  This isn't
the same McCain from 2000!
But the fact remains that
Obama DID say he thinks
teaching sex-ed to kindergar-
teners is, "...the right thing
to do..."!  As a dye-in-the-
wool Liberal, Obama supports
the full agenda of Left Wing
causes, including allowing
babies from botched abortions
to be tossed in a corner and
left to die!

The Obama campaign ran a
new ad of it's own, describing
how 'out-of-touch' McCain is
because he's so old.  Why,
McCain is so old, he knows
nothing about computers and
can't even send an email!
Images from 1982, when
McCain was elected to the
Congress are shown, such
as a disco ball and a woman
holding an early, huge mobile
telephone.

The media had few issues with
this ad, though some pundits
who are a bit more rational are
concerned about this direct at-
tack on McCain's age.  After
all, a significant portion of the
voting public, especially those
who ACTUALLY DO VOTE,
are senior citizens.  

But there are two substantial
problems with this ad.  First,
the reason McCain does not
use email or computers much
is due to his handicap.  His
disability from being shot
down and suffering from two
broken arms, neither of which
were properly set by North
Vietnamese doctors, make
using a keyboard difficult
and painful.

But the second reason this
ad is ridiculous is even simpler.
John McCain probably has a
better understanding of tech-
nology than 99% of the popu-
lation.  Why, you may ask?
Because, HE FLEW SUPER-
SONIC JET FIGHTERS FOR
A LIVING!!!  While your aver-
age American in the 1960s
had trouble adjusting the
rabbit-ear antenna on their TV
sets, John McCain was flying
high-performance aircraft at
speeds over Mach One!

The U.S. Navy does not let
anyone fly a jet fighter unless
they know how to do calculus
and have a firm grasp of the
principles of aerodynamics.
Not to mention state of the
art electronics systems for
communications and naviga-
tion.  John McCain is no
dummy!

When he was the same age
as McCain was when flying
jets, what did Barack Obama
fly?  An electric typewriter?
I suppose it is true that he
knows a few things about
more modern technology.
After all, we all know that
Obama can use his Black-
berry to exchange text mes-
sages with Scarlett Johans-
son.  LOL!  It's probably a
good thing that McCain can
not text or email himself, one
less possible way to get into
a sex scandal.  Plus, it's
not like McCain will not have
a staff to handle emails.  It
is a silly ad and one that is
very mean-spirited.  But I
suppose Obama is allowed
to make ads that are demean-
ing to women and the elderly.
Who in the MSM will challenge
him?
