This blog has just been created and there is not a typing mistake in its title - that´s wanted…
On this platform Presidential Elections in the US will be discussed - facts that hit the nail on the head and facts that hit the nail in the broadest sense. What this is? That´s a surprise!For I´d like to focus only on the essence, the important things, pre-selections to topics being worth discussing have to be made! Others can feel free to talk about issues of no importance…
Since the American Elections play an important role on this blog and the Obama election in particular, I´d like to do a résumé on his first 100 days.
This leads directly to the first Moment of Zen: Is Obama really the "Hero" as he has been described, shown and presented by new and old media devices? If he is not - has he failed in his challenge?
It will be interesting analysing his achievements up to now.
This is a video by Amnesty International posted on YouTube on Jan 15th, 2009, before Obama was actually inaugurated; it is a rather ironic view on the expectations, but nevertheless it has a serious content, don´t forget that!

Best Wishes!
Great Moment of Zen!
ReplyDeleteI would agree that, overall, the German media is very positive about Barack Obama. If you find any articles (in German or English) criticizing the German media for that --- I would appreciate if you share those in class or in your blog. One could write a very interesting thesis about it. Give it a thought in future (!) :)
And one more thing: this is a cool video. :)
