Obama, Biden, A Wheelchair and E-mail
It appears that the Democrat Party's candidates for President and Vice-President share a certain insensitivity, despite their much vaunted oratory.
While campaigning in Columbia, Mo, Joe Biden, acknowledged State Senator Chuck Graham by saying,
“Chuck, stand up, let the people see you.”
Chuck Graham is confined to a wheelchair. Biden quickly realized his gaffe and he told the crowd to stand up for Chuck instead.
Barack Obama's latest campaign attack on John McCain is that McCain "can't send an e-mail" attempting to portray John McCain as anachronistic.
It is true that John McCain doesn't personally send e-mail, but "the reason he doesn't send email is that he can't use a keyboard because of the relentless beatings he received from the Viet Cong." (Thanks to PowerLineBlog.com for bringing this to our attention.) For McCain's pioneering use of the WWW in his campaign, please see this link.
Somehow all that oratory now seems like a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.
