Is it me or has the media and press layed off of Barack Obama a bit. I'm watching CNN and they are covering Christina Applegates breast cancer story. Who is Christina Applegate you ask... Kelley from Married with Children. Recently you couldn't watch or read anything that wasn't pertaining to the election. After the election you couldn't watch or read anything that wasn't challenging president elect Barack Obama. I imagine leading up to the Inaguration things will spark up again. Fox News found every illegitmate notion they could speak up concerning Obama and reported it. Where is the info... guess there is no more need to release the false statements.

The Negativity Failed

For my book review I studied the Art of Negative Campaining. The book "Going Dirty" was written by a guy named David Mark. For political junkies this book is a must read. What I want to point out in this blog is how the act of using negative antics to win elections failed miserably in this years current election. When dealing with neagtivity in campaigns, the public either loves it are hates it, there is rarely a gray area. The turnout of this election proved that the negative campaign advertisements and slander had little or no effect in the swaying of voters. The race wasn't even a close call. Negativty can dominate campaigns. Next time I bet opposing canidates will treat negative campaining more delicately. Dirty politics is apart of Americas past, present, and future. The easy reach of negative campaigns is likely the reason for the use. So I ask, Why are campaigns so negative? Answer...because it usually works! The information is not adequate. When will be improve our standards?

What Else People...

At work today I was forced to endure the skeptic conversations concerning President Elect Barack Obama's birth certificate. My Republican co-workers insist that Obama was born in Kenya and his mom quickly rushed to Hawaii shortly after giving birth in order to make Barack Obama an American citizen. they say that a request for citizenship was never filed for Obama and therfore he is not an American citizen. The man was born in Oahu, Honolulu on august 4th, 1961 at 7:24 am. last time I checked Hawaii is one of the united States and there is no need to file for citizenship when you are born in America. This is ludacris! What else will they come up with? My co-workers believe that Obama has this case tied up in a court system in order to keep his valid birth certificate from being revieled....Ad Hoc Where is the proof? When I easliy accessed the WWW and showed them a copy of his birth certificate they said it's a fake document. hey, guess you can't please everyone.
