McCain is truely out of touch, and so are the baffoons that work for him; clearly they can’t research their facts.

Obama for president is the Clear Choice, you don’t see him making such petty mistakes.

The MSM can be quite ‘the little sewing circle’ and they know their target audience.

As I said earlier, I w’d have appreciated seeing clip art of
‘Old Faithful’ more.

It’s about as relevant and makes about as much sense as having a ‘geezer’ in the oval office – only funnier

I think it has this angle to it: 1. either computer geek “shut-ins” a. have no idea what the real Walter Reed is, or b. took it from the West Wing to show McCain as presidential, either of which is funny but does show incompetence or, 2. the worst senario–McCain’s supporters are often talking about how great the war is, right war, right time, yeah god and USA #1…but they are neither willing to serve in the war or raise their taxes to give our soldiers the equipment and subsequent treatment they deserve upon return. If anyone thinks this war is great but is only willing to have other people fight it, and won’t support our troops with their money, that person is disgusting. What if it’s these ignorant ya-ya, war for god types who are so out of touch with reality that they don’t even know what Walter Reed is? Then you’ve gone beyond incompetence.

The story gets even more interesting when some people figured out that this image was used in another campaign:

McCain’s Speech Backdrop Was Used In Matt Santos’ West Wing Presidential Announcement via TPM
Meanwhile, here’s another fun wrinkle: It turns out that the building behind McCain was also used as the backdrop for Matt Santos’ announcement of his presidential candidacy on The West Wing.

Also, the people at Walter Reed Middle School are not happy about this:
via their blog, Principal Donna Tobin made the following statement:
“It has been brought to the school’s attention that a picture of the front of our school, Walter Reed Middle School, was used as a backdrop at the Republican National Convention. Permission to use the front of our school for the Republican National Convention was not given by our school nor is the use of our school’s picture an endorsement of any political party or view.”

Neither is Los Angeles Unified School District Board Member Tamar Galatzan (via TPM):
“Though I am flattered that Senator McCain chose to use a school from my district as backdrop to his remarks at the Republican National Convention, I wished he had checked with me first. As a strong believer in public education, I don’t think the Senator is the most appropriate person to showcase one of the premier schools in the Los Angeles Unified School District. He is unwilling to bring fairness and equity to No Child Left Behind and ensure that schools like Reed get the resources they need from the Federal Government. From what I’ve heard, that’s not a priority for the McCain/Palin ticket.”

And, former students are not happy either:
What’s McCain doing in front of my junior high?
And, just a memo to the McCain campaign, forcing me to relive my junior high years is not generally a good way to get my vote.”

To the largest extent I don’t see that it matters who attended the school. The impact of the picture and with nothing official coming from the RNC or the McBush campaign, it remains that using Walter Reed Jr. High School looks like yet another McSame campaign gaffe.

The Wikipedia site for Walter Reed Jr. High lists only conductor/composer, Michael Tilson Thomas as a notable graduate. Perhaps you can enlighten us further.

Maybe you should ask who attended the school and no it wasn’t McCain or Palin.
