My Favorite Blog

My favorite blog at the time being is Barack Obama's blog, as you guessed if you have read my previous blogs that I am a huge supporter of our future president of the United States Barack Obama. His blog is well put together because of how effective multimedia components are, "mud-slinging is a political technique Obama has not become familiar with. This blog emphasises the importance of fundamental change in order for growth in our economy, foreign affairs, health care, and other vital issues to Americans. Currently I reside in the category of "middle class", I have family and friends from the high and low class and one thing we can all collectively agree on is we do not need another four years of the same irresponsible, deceiving acts that got us in this mess to begin with which is also discussed in Obama's blog. Unlike the self-proclaimed "Maverick", the components of Obama's blog is based strictly on facts, high-lighting actually not opinion. George Bush has dug a deep whole and he is trying to hand the shovel off to John McCain, I adamantly believe that it won't be easy for Obama to lead us back to the country we use to be, I also believe he essentially will. Lastly I gravitate to Obama's blog because he represents everything that I am striving to become and I can't thank him enough for the inspiration is has given me.

"Boob Tube" Love

Is it me or is television becoming less and less used or talked about in our everyday lives? I also wonder what is filling the void of television, which draws me to my argument. I feel that the Internet and convergence has impinge on the television industry dramatically for many reasons. The Internet to some is the main way to get their information that impacts their lives the most like stocks, sports, and job information. In my honest opinion I believe the computer started off as a hassle, only used if necessary, ultimately ending up as a convenience. I think it is safe to say that people will use anything that is more convenient, more efficient, and most popular. Television is no where near extinct but the Internet is making avid T.V. watchers less interested in the "tube". How you may ask? Internet sites like freetvonline and youtube make television in the background because it is hard to compete against being able to just log on and watch your favorite show when ever you like.
You would look really silly taking a portable T.V. on a train, airplane or bus. With the emergence of the Internet people have adopted lab tops and phones to scratch their entertainment itch. I think there are still more people who divert their free time to television rather than the Internet, but I also believe this is a stage that is soon to be short-lived. This day in age everyone has a cell phone, most of the cell phones out are multi-faceted, you can receive live Internet feed from them making the use of a television pointless. When you can long on to a site and watch you favorite show while stuck in traffic, on a bus, or god forbid in class, it is very addicting to say the least.

Obama 08'

I personally feel this is Barack Obama's election to win for many reasons, I honest believe, as much as McCain supporters would disagree, that all four debates prove my premise to be a fact. The vice presidential debate was the most impressive one in my opinion because it was the most "lop sided". Joe Biden displayed his superior knowledge in foreign policy and other major issues; Biden's record speaks volumes about his abilities to be a great vice president. He has innate ability to relate with middle class while having the experience to reach across the aisle to unite the democrats, republicans, and independents. As Obama's vice president I know the American people will restore the pride in politics that we use to have in Clintons administration. Biden surprised me in the debate because I thought he would not immediately jump into the hearts of the viewers but I think it is safe to say that when he shared how it was for him to be a single parent it was heart warming to say the least. I also saw that Biden did not stoop down to Palin intellect level when she would make her usual unprofessional sayings like "say it ain't so Joe." Palin had a fairly easy task on October second, just show up and not make a fool of yourself. For the first time in a debate I saw someone get credit for low expectations. Hypothetically, if Americans lost there sense of rationality and voted McCain as our president, upon unfortunate tragedy, Palin impetuous attitude will be detrimental to our nations growth. Unlike Palin and McCain, Biden and Obama attitude is admired globally; I feel arrogance has got us into the economic recession now. Americans need change now in so many ways, these are the worst economic times since the Great Depression, all under republican regime.
