McCain Ad: Circular

I don’t want to get too political here, but McCain needs new ad guys. His latest ad just bites itself in the ass. Never mind that it just makes Obama look even more reasonable. If you point out that someone agrees with you, and then insist he’s not ready to lead, doesn’t that mean you’re not ready to lead?

If you’re going to do attack advertising, at least do it right. You don’t attack people for agreeing with you.

will.i.am - We Are The Ones

Following up the five-million-YouTube-view success of his Yes We Can song in support of Barack Obama, will.i.am follows up with We Are The Ones.

We are the ones we’ve been waiting for, says Obama. I totally agree with that sentiment. I know I’m the one I’ve been waiting for. Are you the one you’ve been waiting for?

Obama’s IT-Enabled Ethics

From Google for Government to bills online, the Internet plays a huge role in Barack Obama’s push for government ethics. In fact, he plans to appoint America’s first CTO.

Obama’s IT-enabled ethical thrust would would work in the Philippines, too. As demonstrated by the cast of characters embroiled in the NBN scandal, IT decision-making in the Philippine government is a total mess. This country needs a CTO to make those decisions. Now if only the Philippine government would use the Internet as a weapon against corruption instead of an excuse for corruption.
