Barack Obama 2.0…

Dedicated to Amber and Najja, my Final Project group buddies in
MEDIA RELATIONS

Baracka Obama, U.S. Senator from Illinois, is keeping up in the Presidential Election. Whether you think he’s hot, cool or wack, he’s almost on point when it comes to the polls and today’s technological situation. Obama recognizes that technology benefits the world and he pays special attention to developing a stronger technology system and team that would be sure to protect children. Parents and other adults would benefit from the rights of our FIRST AMENDMENT.

 

All i REALLY know about Obama is this: After I logged in to his website, a quick message came up that said I’d be connected to the main page…and in 1-2-3, I was there! (It’s the little things that make me happy, I guess, but he gained a little of my trust.)

• Not only does Obama want to allow citizens to watch live internet feeds of ALL government proceedings, but he also wants to give us a chance to comment before non-emergency legislations are signed. He wants to create a position for America’s 1^st CHIEF TECHNOLOGY OFFICER.

 

• Citizen democracy, privacy and free speech in technology take the stage as Obama’s IT platform takes shape.
