Does anybody think this isn't a big problem? I mean, clearly this lends itself to snark and bullshit….

But honestly - is it really okay for the President of the United States to be computer illiterate? No matter who that person is or who is running.

His computer skills are outstanding. He uses a Blackberry, Apple video conferencing to talk with his daughters while he's on the road, he blogs occasionally, and he's made revolutionary use of the Internet as a campaign tool.

He also stated in his most recent Rolling Stone interview:

How are you going to connect your support among young people to the governing process?
This is where the Internet is so powerful. One of the things that surprised me in this campaign is how well we were able to use technology to organize people. There's enormous promise â?? but we've just scratched the surface of what's possible when it comes to making government work for people. Virtual town-hall meetings, increasing transparency, accountability on legislation. You think about all the inefficiencies in government. We basically have a New Deal government in a 21st-century economy. We've got to upgrade it.

So you're consciously aware that this will have to be part of how you govern?
Yes, absolutely. The Internet gives young people a tool to be informed continuously. It gives them an opportunity to speak to each other and mobilize themselves. It gives them the opportunity to hold me accountable when I'm not following through on promises that I've made. It gives me a powerful ally if Congress is resistant to measures that need to be taken.

All I know is he has Wilco on his ipod, so he gets two votes from our household.

Not a joke in the least.

I'm not saying that Obama knowing how to use the internet or computers is reason to vote for him by itself.

I'm asking: shouldn't knowing how to use a computer and the internet be skills that we demand our President have at this point in history?

are these two fools the best this country has to offer at the current time?


reply: bush bush bush bush bush!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

that vp that perot picked that fell asleep during the debates.

I think it's an important point. If you don't understand what the internet is and what it can do, then you can only have a foggy notion about how a lot of people are communicating these days, about how information can be spread globally in seconds, about how trade/copyright issues between nations will play out, how its changing the way people work and play. I don't need someone who can drop some ColdFusion science on my ass, but we've had a president who demonstrates a mind-boggling lack of curiousity about things, and we've seen how that's paid off.

Again, if you honestly think there's no difference between McCain and Obama, you're stunningly ignorant, no two ways about it.

So who did you vote for in 2000 and 2004? The DUI drunk/repeatedly failing businessman/draft dodger/6 year governor over decades-of-experience senator/Vietnam veteran?

the guy who won

So if being internet savvy is the be all for a president, shouldn't we just write in Al Gore and move on?? He invented it…. ;)

The American people are better off now than before George Bush was president because … __________________.
