Should the U.S. President Be Technologically "Literate"?

In a crisis situation, I really don't want my president to have to Google something to find the answers.

 

I think this is really a non issue, just another way to call McCain old and out of touch...

 

 

He is definately old, and the more research I do, the more I think that maybe he is out of touch in a lot of ways.

As I predicted a few months ago, liberals are once again working to sell their candidate as an intellectual and portray the Republican candidate as an ignoramus. This has become a very predictable tactic that is employed every four years. The only way to justify supporting an inexperienced socialist for president is on the basis of intelligence and sound judgment.

 

Obama has repeatedly shown bad judgment during the campaign, so now all that is left is to paint McCain as old, lazy, and stupid. Soon, whispers will be heard raising the possibility of McCain showing signs of senility. The Drudge headline, John McCain doesn't work weekends is just the beginning of liberals' campaign to make McCain look feeble and out of touch. So much for positive campaigning. :rolleyes:

I hear Barack is never without his Blackberry and takes his laptop with him wherever he goes. Smart, young,energetic, dripping with charisma, and technologically relevant... is it any wonder this guy has the country abuzz with excitement and hope!!!

 

 

Maybe Barack can do a nationwide texting campaign!

Drudge suddenly changed to be a liberal site? Interesting.

The Republican product of the last 8 years hasn't needed liberals to market it as an ignoramus; the Republican product of the last 8 years easily sells itself.

I'm sure the President of the United States will have plenty of people who can take care of any technological requirements.

 

I don't think the inability to send text messages and interact on Myspace will affect McCain's (or anyone's) ability to do the job of President.

Maybe Barack can do a nationwide texting campaign!

Rumor has it, McCain has fired his campaign staff and hired a team made up of college basketball and football coaches, lead by Nick Saban (and Kelvin Sampson), to counter Obama's texting campaign...

Good thing I'm not running for president. Who's this text addressed to-- Cory Patterson?(See Reds Thread)

 

 

ROTFL ???? Reaching out to flaming liberals? flaming lesbians? Uh,....hell I knew I should have gone to Devry.

How about "Rolling On The Floor Laughing"?

 

You and John McCain...;)

I kind of breezed past all the above posts. So forgive me if I repeat anyone.

 

I want my president to be technologically literate. But my definition may be much more liberal than McCain's. (There's a paradox in there somewhere.) Technologically literate to me means you have a basic understanding of the mechanics and abilities of current technology. It means if I explain to you what a gas centrifuge does, you can follow what I'm saying. It doesn't mean you can repair one if it breaks down. Being president is very much a learning experience. You don't know half of what you need to know on Inauguration Day. But you have to have the ability to comprehend what your advisers are telling you. You also have to know when the techies are feeding you a line of bull.

 

McCain was a fighter pilot. I trust him to be adequately literate.

I hear you! McCain will have people around him who can help with technology issues, this is a non issue, IMO!

They won't be around him as president b/c he's not going to ascend to that position. Cindy can help him out in his Congressional role.
