In his new ad, Obama points out the fact that McCain doesn’t use a computer to make him look woefully behind the times. The fact is that due to his torture in Vietnam, McCain can’t do many things that involve fine motor skills of the hands such as combing his own hair. The truth is that is family uses the computer for him and he has started surfing the web to stay abreast with the times with their help.

So, Obamaites. Defend your candidate running this ad.
