No, that title is not a mistake. In a recent campaign appearance, Sen. Barack Obama's running mate, Sen. Joe Biden, denounced a television ad released by the campaign as "terrible." The ad in question, which was paid for by the Obama campaign, mocked Sen. McCain as out of touch based on his admission that he is not good at using a computer and can't send an email.
Sen. Biden went on to say that "if I had anything to do with it, we'd have never done it." Maybe that's because Sen. Biden knows that the reason Sen. McCain can't send an email is because of the wounds that he received as a POW during Vietnam. The injuries, which prevent Sen. McCain from lifting his arms above his shoulders, make it painful for him to use a keyboard. Thus, Sen. McCain will often dictate his emails to his wife, Cindy, or a member of his staff.
Despite Sen. Biden's denouncement of the attack, Sen. Obama has yet to apologize for exploiting Sen. McCain's disability for political gain.
I can't help but wonder that if Sen. Obama were running in 1932, if he would have attacked FDR for not being able to walk.
