[...] He also had his on podcast, at least until he was seriously involved in campaigning. He even had his on social network on his campaign website. People who joined moveon.org, or donated money were inundated with a barrage of emails and text message updates over the last year. There was an iPhone application. Will.I.Am. has over 12 million hits on his “Yes We Can” music video on Youtube. There are nearly 2000 videos on Obama’s Youtube Channel. Now you can even order a music cd commemorating his victory. All this to say is that we have a President who understands new media. A President who knows more than just how to use “The Google,” who knows how important the internet in this new age. He supports net neutrality. He also talks about clean energy and how important technological advances are to energy independence. If you want to know his technology platform you can read excerpts here. [...]

You have a point Chris.

Most politicians don’t understand that the Internet is not a thing. It’s basically a holistic network of computing devices, applications, data stretched across LANS, VLANS, and WANS…

I think the word “invest” needs to be clearly defined. When a politician takes from A to give to B, that is not an investment.

I think the best policy a politician can have toward technology is the one that has taken our great industry this far: “Leave it alone.”

America needs to get onboard with forward thinking leaders if our country plans to compete in the growing globalization market. Yes, the Internet has a lot of useless information; however, it can be powerful teaching tool and a source of liberation for many. Let’s remember, the point here is Technology and how it can be used to our advantage for the sharing and dissemination of information.

From the Local, State, and Federal level Government has always had some sort of disconnect with the people. We are the people and maybe it’s time for a different approach. I’m not advocating that Google & Obama have a monopoly for personal gains, but it would be great having access to what’s important to me 24/7. For example, true real-time feedback using secure online voting systems; remote monitoring of assisted living communities to prevent elder abuse; electronic mortgage applications to reduce the amount of wasted paper; discounted or free online learning courses for rural communities; etc.

If the end result can help humanity, then I would say Obama’s plan has potentially a good ROI.

The longer Obama remains in the running, the longer European documentaries like Panorama can show us interviews with ordinary Americans saying “Obahma? I danno, sounds like Osahma to me, hur hur hur” (that is an exact quote from one such interview shown a few weeks ago) and we can all continue spewing tea into our croissants at the thought that these people have votes.

My favourite statistic from the campaign so far is that 85% of Americans would consider voting for a woman. The newspaper reporting this thought this represented progress. Unfortunately, it doesn’t look so great if you flip it on its head and realise that if you’re in a room with 20 Americans, 3 of them will be raving morons who somehow fell out of their cave in 10000 BC through a timewarp into the electorate of the most powerful nation on Earth.

P.S. Vis-a-vis is a perfectly acceptable word. It’s several characters shorter than “in regard to”.
