Barack, and celebrity Prowess?

Barack Obama has been labeled more a celebrity than a solid candidate by people all over the media and Web.

In today's global media market, Barack Obama has become a star. He has been on the cover of plenty of magazines, that focus on other topics other than politics for the majority of the time. Magazines such as, Ebony, GQ, Vibe, Us, and Rolling stone. Is this the face of new politics? Or a path set by Obama for a new generation of future candidates? Being able to bring 200,000 fans to Germany might just back that label. But, could some say hes a celebrity to take away from his status as a candidate?

In fact yes, it could be perceived an attack of some sort. Calling him out as a celebrity in a sense, could mean that he is nothing more than a media magnet. This could be due to many things, such as looks,charisma, age,swagger, and just the all out presence he gives off when in front of the camera. There are many that believe he is on a wave of hype per say. Others believe people are voting for him because hes the new thing, or the hip thing to do. Well, this could be, but he could also just be well liked.

Sure all the hype talk, magazine covers and news coverage is present, but could this just be the future of politics expanding farther than your basic news coverage? This so called call celebrity prowess he has could do more good than bad. I mean reaching out in other venues attracts voters, that in any other circumstance wouldn't even pay attention. I don't think that's such a bad thing, do you? Being beloved by Americas people, doesn't mean your nothing more than a celebrity on a high wave in my opinion. I think it makes him a look even stronger of a candidate for being able to outreach so deep within the media.
Like i always say, I am not here to tell people whom to vote for. All and all both candidates have their good and bad. Figuring out who has more good, and carries a higher chance to succeed, well that's your choice.
