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.

P. Diddy On John McCain, States he is “Buggin’ the F**k Out”

I was searching through political relevant videos as I always do in the morning,when suddenly i came across one that read"John McCain is Bugging The F*** Out" by Sean P Diddy Combs. now usually I wouldn't really take a look at such a video, but I though that maybe just maybe he would have some solid analysis. So i watched it and this is my take on it.

The video started off with Diddy criticizing John McCain VP pick of Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska.he kept repeating McCain is bugging the F*** out for the first few minutes. The content that followed this was, well how can i put it? I felt dumber for watching it . Diddy went on and on about nonsense for a bit. When the video came across the midway point, I was met with a true prize of all political opinions. Diddy stated "What is the reality in Alaska? There’s not even no crack heads in Alaska. There’s not even no black people? There’s not even like no…crime?

Now what would an average reader take from that statement? Is Diddy insisting that to have crime, crack, or reality the state must contain African Americans? Well Diddy I am not an African American but its truly sad when you make a statement like that. One that could effect the people that look up to you. Considering you are a big named celebrity, you should put a little more thought and merit in what you have to say before you go blabbing a slew of empty thoughts. Yes we are all entitled to our opinion, but when you put yours out there on video for people to watch, you should really use your celeb prowess to influence people with some kind of educated opinion.

These kind of posts from big named celebs in our country can have a significant impact on voters, especially young voters whom follow Diddy as a role model. What kind of content is he giving young voters to go off of? Let's all base our voting off whether crack,crime, and specific races are present where our leaders might come from. Let us tell everyone that might not have a mixed race community not to vote for Barack Obama. Now if I said that a lot of voters would probably say I am an idiot right?

I am not saying whom to vote for. I just think that the voters deserve some real reasons to vote either way. I will admit Diddy has done some good with the young voters in the past, and I do appreciate it. But instead of taking steps forward to influence and keep voters educated, he took ten steps back.
