Is it true that McCain cannot properly use a computer or send a email?

I know people close to his age and older who can use a computer just fine. Do you think that this is a plus or a minus?Is it true that McCain cannot properly use a computer or send a email?
I belive that is true I read about it on yahoo. There are a lot of people younger than him that cannot properly use a computer or send e-mail. It is a really big minus for him, it just shows how old and old-fashion he is. When you have that much money and are that old it definietly would be much better just to retire enjoy the last few years of your life, and spend more time with your family than running for office.Is it true that McCain cannot properly use a computer or send a email?
Considering how much I get paid to fix other people's problems that they create on their computers (and some of the incredibly stupid problems that they do create), I consider it to be a good thing that McCain is not going to be screwing up the most powerful nation in the world with a computer.





It's not true that computer geeks don't know what they're talking about. It's just that most of what they know doesn't happen to be true.
I don't know if it's true, but I've heard him on an interview say he doesn't go on the internet for the heck of it (I am of course paraphrasing). I think it might be good because there are so many warped, distorted ';truths'; on the internet that we don't need our president wasting his time investigating what is real about the world online. As long as he knows about the internet and its power/influence he doesn't actually have to use it. That's like requiring someone to know how to fly a plane in order the be an air traffic controller. ATCs know how planes work and how far apart they have to be and such, but they don't actually have to know how to operate one from the inside (though many do).
Whether or not he can send an email is irrelative to his ability to run a country. I am not commenting on whether he should be running the country; just that his internet inexperience has nothing to do with it. i think he would have plenty of people to read his email for him, and he would be too busy to even sit at a computer in the first place. Do you read newpapers??
That's what he claims, but McCain has a dry sense of humor, such as pretending to fall asleep at last night's public service forum.





What difference does it make? Do you think the president sits around answering his own email? I don't think there's ever even been a computer on the desk in the Oval Office.
If computer literacy is the most important qualification, then I know some tech nerds who would be perfect for the job.





He's managed to survive 25+ years in the Senate without mastering this technology, so I'm not worried. If he's that bad, he'll get a crash course in computer use. It's much easier to learn a computer than it is to run a country. Is this the best Obama has?
I don't think it's so uncommon. Most people his age don't know how. I'm watching Judge Judy and she calls the computer ';the machine.'; LOL.





Anyway, I am as anti-McCain as they come, but I think there are much larger problems with him other than the fact that he hasn't kept up with technology.
If Internet savvy is a basic qualification for leadership in the modern age, how can it be that Billy Jeff 鈥?still a major figure in the Democratic Party and the head of an influential global charity 鈥?sent exactly two e-mails as president and remains offline to this day?
Considering he flew Jets for the Navy, his computer skills are not lacking. This is an attempt by the Face-book crowd to make something false up.
Assuming that this is true- many older people choose not to learn new skills, but many of necessity also do. Do we need another President who can't learn?
I am glad you can send a email. The world are a better place because of it.
my father can not e-mail and has a phd in mathmatics and a second phd in economics. so what is your point... i bet you think u are smarter than both of them.
McCain stated that he was computer illiterate and could not send an email, yes.


It's a minus in my opinion.
It isn't relevant--that's what assistants/secretaries are for.
Well, atleast he didnt lie about it! Obama lies about his skin color and who his friends are.
I don't think it makes any difference. The President has other people to do his menial work.
i think it doesnt matter - who cares if he cant use a computer or email? he has people for that
My parents are in their early sixties and don't even have internet. I'm not surprised.






It is true that while Obama can't fly a jet fighter , I'll bet he flys FIRST CLASS! Give that liberal man a Chardonay!
There may be some truth to that but I bet he can do more then that TV add portrays
no one cares. cuz one of these days hes gunna '; do a google';
Yes it is true. His extensive time spent in POW camp shortcircuited the part of his brain that allows him to process higher order functions. This is also why he can't drive, order at McDonald's, or work a microwave. Do you really want this man as your president?
Yeah...glad to see Obama is attacking him....with facts
