Obama: Vote for me! I can type better than John McCain!
If you put this with Joe Biden's call for a man in a wheelchair to stand up, it becomes pretty clear the Democratic ticket is about as clueless and insensitive about disabilities as you can get.
For the record, McCain goes through his personal e-mail with his wife. But since injuries incurred as a POW in Vietnam make it hard for him to type, e-mail is a thing he watches being done rather than doing himself. Had the web-savvy Obama campaign mastered google, they would have known this, as this Hot Air piece makes clear.
Also for the record, at last public demonstration Joe Biden apparently can't heal the lame. It's not like he's Obama or something.
All old news, of course. But just in case the aggregators are counting, I thought it worth putting one more reminder out there that yes, Obama made fun of a Vietnam POW's typing skills, and his campaign thought itself quite clever for doing so.
