The Campaign Trial.


WHAAAAASSUP !?
In the video, the guys are seen adressing different issues in the US...like the war in Iraq, declining stocks, loss of jobs and homes, and the hurricanes.
I found this campaign video very effective because it is funny as well as informative. I think using the "WASSUP" saying from 8 years ago was a good way of attracting attention from the people who were interested in that video before. I really like parodies, and this video reminded me of one.
In the last part of the video, Obama is telling us that he would CHANGE these issues in the US for the better. Since CHANGE has been the center of his campaign, this drilled the message to the viewers even more.
When Barack Obama became the president-elect, I think he broke down a lot of barriers.
He would become the first African-American president [ his mom is caucasian and his father is African] ...
As well as being one of the youngest.
Obama claimes to change the way George Bush has ruled the United States and to bring his people out of poverty.
All in all, I liked this video and I was glad that Obama came out on top in the end of the election.
