Obama has been the technology connoisseur. He has gone as far as using computer language saying he was going to reboot the White house. Making the task sound as simple as pressing the power button on a hard drive. He knew the young market was the way to go and to go through advanced media would be the most aggressive way to go. Obama made multiple YouTube clips of him addressing the public knowing that people would watch it multiple times as well as to tell others to watch it. It is said that it was because of these YouTube videos that Obama won his position.
As advanced as this attempt on YouTube was, many complained about the one way communication. Obama’s committee defends the one way communication with the claim of protections. Obama’s committee states that they made the YouTube clips one way because there are plenty who would purposely disrespect the president with uneducated comments. If they were positive that each response would give an intellectual input or debate they would allow it. They did not want to open the floodgates to the public who wanted 15mins of fame or to present shock value. That worry is the price to pay for using a new vice to reach certain voters. McCain had a very different approach therefore he had a very different outcome.
Many disagree with how open and advanced Obama is. There were complaints that his videos are a one way tube. Many felt as if they were supposed to be able to respond to his remarks not just listen to his lecture. This article touches both on the fact that Obama has made a new step towards political evolution in communicating with the groups that are usually not reached by using YouTube, and the fact that he is a typical politician by only wanting to spread his opinions without the hearing the opinions of others. I would like to agree with Obama’s committee though. Time and time again the general public has presented itself as hateful fools. I do appreciate the fact that Obama has tried new venues t o reach his public. I think it is very effective.
Obama has been speculated to be the current day Moses. Many have made it seem like he will be the one to bring us to our promise land. We have all been made to feel like the bush administration was the pharaohs, I will accept that only because that is how people feel they are not claimed to be facts. However to say that he will reboot the white house I will say that is a stretch because things that drastic takes a lot more time than the assumed 4 years he will have. Do I believe he will get the ball rolling and encourage others to do more? Yes I do but it will take time and it will have to be baby steps.
