4. Announcer: "1982. John McCain goes to Washington. Things have changed in the last 26 years. But, McCain hasn't. He admits he still doesn't know how to use a computer. Can't send an e-mail. Still doesn't understand the economy and favors 200 billion in new tax cuts for corporations, but almost nothing for the middle class. After one president who was out of touch, we just can't afford more of the same.".
