Obama needs to try fact-checking

Barack Obama has launched a new ad that lampoons John McCain for his inability to use the Internet.

Unfortunately for Obama, his lack of fact-checking left this tidbit of information unfound:

"McCain's severe war injuries prevent him from combing his hair, typing on a keyboard, or tying his shoes."

Yet more fact-less ad hominem attacks from Obama. It's becoming predictable. Maybe he'll put a fact in his next ad to throw us off.

I have no doubt that part of the reason is a lack of motor functions in his fingers, but he himself offered a different answer. This is from a wired magazine article.

"I am learning to get online myself, and I will have that down fairly soon, getting on myself," McCain told the New York Times in an interview that appeared Sunday. "I don't expect to be a great communicator, I don’t expect to set up my own blog, but I am becoming computer literate to the point where I can get the information that I need."

Even so, McCain bluntly admits, "I don't e-mail. I've never felt the particular need to e-mail."
