The Campaign Trail

This ad for Barack Obama was a very interesting and informative way to capture the audiences attention and bring about some important issues to the common American. In the United States there have been many natural disasters and they are currently at war. The current president in power is not doing a very good job in office right now. This combined with the economic downturn in the American economy has posed a very serious issue to the American people as well as the rest of the world. This is because the American is the current super power in the world. Canada has very close ties to our southern neighbor. Almost any downturn there effects the Canadians and many other countries in the world.

Seven years ago the American economy was thriving, the world was in a very productive turmoil around the beginning of the century all was well. Though the use of a very popular commercial for bud beer he showed the changes that happened to America during the seven years the republicans were in power. The commercial shows how the stock market shares have went down how hurricanes and other natural disasters are going unchecked and how the average American is being pushed out of his home and the terrible health care system currently in effect.Near the end of the commercial in the person in Iraq asks his friend whass' up, we then see a clip of Barack Obama on the t.v. The friends tells him change. The message in the commercial is that Barack Obama holds change for the country and wants to help the common man. He wants to change all the things that have gone wrong during the last seven years in America. He wants to help the common person and help them find the American dream. He wants change, that is the message to the American is change. YES WE CAN!!!!!

It is true Obama seems like an effective leader now, but we wont know what the future for America is yet. We still haven't seen how Obama deals with tough situation or a crisis. He may turn out to be a lier and turn back on all the promises he made.

time will only tell us

It is true anything that happens in the U.S affects Canada and the rest of the world. hence everyone in the world is so interested in the U.S. election.

In Canada there are commercials on T.V that show Canadians having fake elections to see who Canada would put into power, but i can bet that people in U.S.aren't having elections to see who they want in power in Canada.

It isn't a negative thing that the world is interested in the U.S. election because if there is an economical downfall in American it will affect the rest of the world. a good example of the rest of the world in the affairs of the U.S. is Canada is in Iraq fighting a war America started

OBAMA 08 :D

I believe that he would be a good president for the U.S. He seems to be a really friendly and playful person and having a good personality makes many u.s. citizens also like him. Through his speaches and commercials he seems to believe that everyone can do everything that is right to do when given the chance. So, I do think it was a good Idea Obama was elected. I hope he becomes a good president after being elected.

With his current policies and the way he's been running things, do you think that he is holding up to everyone's expectations? Do you still think 'We Can?'
