Lors d'une entrevue diffusée ce soir sur la chaîne CBS, le colistier de Barack Obama a critiqué une pub de son camp ridiculisant l'incapacité de John McCain à utiliser un ordinateur :
Je cite dans le texte une partie de l'échange entre Katie Couric et Biden :
Katie Couric: "Are you disappointed with the tone of the campaign -- the lipstick on the pig stuff and some of the ads? And you guys haven't been completely guilt-free, making fun of John McCain's inability to use a computer?"
Biden: "I thought that was terrible, by the way."
Couric: "Why'd you do it then?"
Biden: "I didn't know we did it, and if I'd had anything to do with it, we would have never
done it. I don't think Barack... you know, I just think that was..."
Couric: "Did Barack Obama approve that ad? He said he did, right?"
Biden: "I don't think anything was intentional about that. They were trying to make another point. That's very different than deliberately taking a vote Barack Obama had to teach children about how to deal with child-predators and saying he was teaching them sex education in kindergarten. Very different in degree."
On peut voir ici l'annonce du camp Obama, qui confine à l'âgisme.
