Senator Barack Obama

In January 2009 the United States of America will have a new president, someone who will take over what G.W. Bush has managed to leave behind; a country going through a serious financial and economic crisis, militarily insecure and much less respected than it used to be.

Americans are sick and tired of long term promises who always seem to get lost on the way, of presidents who cannot understand the people and who do not see beyond the White House fences.

For all the above reasons, The Boston Globe has found that Senator Barack Obama is America’s best candidate for presidency and they have decided to fully endorse him. They see his campaign as a modern, up-to-date one, who talks about the problems Americans face with daily and that looks towards the future, not only to the present.

He is also appreciated for his power of persuasion, for his economic and political plans, for the team he works with, which is an extremely competent one. His plans for improving the environment and health policies, the tax system and external politics (mostly the Iraq War and the Al-Qaeda issue), seem to have convinced many Americans and press representatives.

Obama iPhone

The US candidate for the Democratic Party, Barack Obama has come up with yet another idea of how to getting the Americans’ votes.

The newest campaign gadget is the iPhone; he is thus aiming to attract the votes of the younger population. The special software was developed in just a few weeks by volunteering supporters and allows Obama’s “fans” from all over the US to interact and unite forces.

The “Call Friends” option is not only meant to attract voters, but also keep the users in closer contact with their families and fellow supporters in the remaining month until the elections.

The software also allows keeping a track on which of your contacts will be supporting Obama and sending them a reminder on the big day.

Most importantly, the iPhone makes it even easier for the supporters to be fully informed of the latest updates regarding the campaign; they will be able to access a variety of campaign materials in order to convince others of what they see as obvious and logical: that Obama must become the next US president.

This new campaign technique comes to show that Obama sees technology as very important for him and for the whole American people.
