Barrack Obama has used various forms used to help his campaign effort as well as ways he communicated with supporters. Barack Hussein Obama II (pronounced  born August 4, 1961) is the President-elect of the United States of America and the junior United States Senator from Illinois. His inauguration into office as the forty-fourth President of the United States is scheduled for January 20, 2009. Obama is the first African American to be elected President of the United States, and was the first to be nominated for President by a major political party. Obama is also the first candidate born in Hawaii to have been nominated and subsequently elected president.

Obama has used many ways to promote his campaign and journey to being president. He has been on bill-boards which have appeared in games for various game consoles such as Madden and Need for Speed as well as appearing on the hit sitcom, Saturday Night Live. Barack Obama’s presidential campaign has found an interesting new way to reach young voters: Campaign ads in the Madden video game. John McCain also appeared on Saturday Night Live but in my personal opinion Obama was funnier and most-relates to younger citizens all over the globe. He is funny, and really puts fourth an effort to attract younger citizens and the younger people of our world. He not only thinks about the world of today, but also about the world of tomorrow. Barrack Obama was commonly viewed on CNN and seems to be known for his renowned speeches.

            John McCain also put fourth an excellent effort in running for the US President. Unfortunately, he was not elected for president but should be proud of the effort he put out.  He was stated and referred to as “the leader of the official opposition” in political terms. John Sidney McCain III (born August 29, 1936) is the senior United States Senator from Arizona. He was the Republican candidate in the Election. McCain graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1958. He became a naval aviator, flying ground-attack aircraft from aircraft carriers. McCain experienced episodes of torture, and refused an out-of-sequence early repatriation offer. His war wounds left him with lifelong physical limitations. John McCain like Barack used many ways of attracting others to join his campaign and vote for him. Like I mentioned earlier, he also appeared on the sitcom Saturday Night live with his guest host, Sarah Palin.

      Barack Obama and John McCain both used viral forms of campaigning. They both made critical and effective speeches which strongly went towards and effected their election campaigning. I’ve always believed that America offers opportunities to all who have the industry and will to seize it. Senator Obama believes that, too. But we both recognize that though we have come a long way from the old injustices that once stained our nation’s reputation and denied some Americans the full blessings of American citizenship, the memory of them still had the power to wound.” This quote comes from one of the speeches brought proudly to American citizens by John McCain himself. His closing speech to end the election was quite effective but it did not beat out his fierce competition. That competition is Mr. Barack Obama. A reluctant and commonly referred to issue is the issue in Iraq created by ex-prime minister, George W. Bush. Obama and his team have effectively come up with a solution to this problematic dilemma. They plan to immediately upon taking office, give his Secretary of Defense and military commanders a new mission in Iraq: successfully ending the war. The removal of our troops will be responsible and phased. This shows that his dedication to preserving his country is strong and will be beneficial down the road.

            Barack has sure shown everyone a side to America that has yet to be discovered. He really goes all out in campaigning and giving us his efforts and creativity. Without Obama and still under the rule of George Bush, America may no longer last as a standing and reliable country. Through his various forms of advertising and promoting, he has attracted many followers along the way and due to their love and support he has happily been elected president of The United States of America!
