Obama on Tech

Most politicians wouldn’t bother with geek stuff — but only two days before the US Presidential election, Barack Obama comes out with an ad about his science and technology policy.

It’s composed of clips from a talk at Google, and the search giant even gets special mention. That’s not surprising, considering that Google CEO Eric Schmidt could well become America’s first CTO under the Obama administration.

It’s a Web exclusive, too. That makes sense: this tech stuff would just intimidate couch potatoes, and most of the science nerds are at their computers anyway.

On a side note, posting comments about legislation before it’s signed could produce the most epic threads ever.
