Swamp: John McCain, the way Barack Obama's campaign tells it, is "out of touch,'' the Republican nominee for president couldn't even remember how many he homes he owns when asked by a reporter, and he doesn't know how to use a computer or email.

McCain Is Out of Touch and Old
That's not ageism. Those are just the facts. It wouldn't be much of an issue if McCain hadn't hired someone with Zero foreign policy experience, someone who's clearly a tool to win an election.
