It’s 2008. Would you want someone who doesn’t know how to use a computer as President? When asked if he uses a Mac or a PC, here’s what John McCain said to Yahoo News:
“Neither. I’m a illiterate that has to rely on my wife for all of the assistance that I can get.”
Never mind the grammatical errors in that statement. Let’s focus on the fact that a 21st century presidential candidate doesn’t know how to use a computer. Don’t believe it? View the video:
John McCain’s about to turn 71. I don’t consider that to be a good excuse. My father-in-law, who just turned 75, has his own laptop, checks his email, and uses a spreadsheet. Was he a computer scientist in his younger years? No. A mechanic for TWA. My parents all use their computers, and have for years. My grandfather, who’s 93, and my stepgrandmother, who’s 83, are on Facebook and email me pictures sometimes. Professions? Advertising executive and stay-at-home housewife.
For goodness sakes, Sen. McCain: show some curiosity and initiative and learn to use a computer. I was once told never to trust anyone over 30, but perhaps it’s more appropriate to not trust anyone who refuses to learn to use a computer.
