John McCain was...

....ummm.....

...well, it hasn't happened yet for him.

But he's only 72, so, give him some time, will ya?

John McCain Technology | Salon News

So, he still has a chance to relate to...ummm...why every single member of Volnation goes on Volnation.

I'll take a capitalist war hero who has no idea how to use paypal over a disciple of Frank Marshall Davis and Saul Alinsky.

Don't you get it, he wants his president surfing the web instead of actually doing something meaningful... like passing a significant bill.

I'd like a president who understands a major reason our economy grew by leaps and bounds in the mid to late 1990s, and how this technology is continuing to evolve and impact the economy. But I suppose "using" that technology (which 75% of the country does) shouldn't matter.

That makes sense.

Okay let's use your logic that if you don't actively participate in something you can't understand it.

A key role of the POTUS is to be commander-in-chief. The military of the US is a key reason why we are a super power and why our economy has grown the way it has since the Great Depression.

Obama has zero experience with the military. Should that matter?

That make sense?

I'd like comments by someone who understands that that growth has died because it was mainly irrational valuation of non-cash flowing companies. The vast majority of that wealth is gone, save the guys that fooled the equity funds into buying their companies.

While that technology has impacted the economy to some limited degree, the reality of the tech economy was probably the post bubble crash, rather than the over-exuberance of the late 90s. It's not unlike the housing boom brought on by the absurdly low rate environment of 03-04. Capital flowed like wine and massively overpriced the market. We're now back to reality and have essentially erased all of the faux value in the market. It's funny how no market can really venture very far from its fundamental value drivers. Just can't.

Pretending that Obama remotely understands why the economy leapt in the 90s is one of the most ludicrous statements you could make. He is firmly anti-capitalist and you're pretending that he knows the pulse of the tech boom, when hordes of brilliant financial minds got absolutely hammered there. That's rich.

So because you choose not to use a particular type of technology makes you unqualified for office?

You guys don't know Obama is a leading American Economist? He also lectures .coms on finances and their business practices because he has run several businesses...
