Since I'm behind on posting, I'm going to get another one here tonight.
I have to comment on the impressive and effective use of technology during the Obama campaign. The way they used and sent me personal e-mails, address just to me of course, gave me the impression that Obama was talking to ME. Remember what we say w/our students - perception is reality. I mean, how many times did he respectfully ask me to donate just $5, $10 or $15 more?
I think this strategy, along w/others of course, made a big difference in his win and has massive potential to make his Presidency more effective.
Think of the social capital he has now going forward - millions of e-mail addresses that he could potentially send messages to. Soon you are going to hear "Yes we Can!" around the nation and the world!
Further, think of all the funny e-mails you got that keep the propaganda going (palinforpresident.com was my favortie). Will.i.am's song on YouTube - the list goes on an on.
This election, this presidency, will break boundaries on so many different levels. Hopefully, the boundaries breaking will contiue to be only for the better.

I thought I was the only one who got personal emails from Obama! Seriously! He even emailed me personally right before he went on the stage in Chicago to address the crowd Tuesday night.
I hope they try to use his network that exists to open the doors to the white house in the future too! I would love to continue to get "personal" emails from the president!
