Presidency 2.0
While we all lovingly felt a connection with the way man-of-the-people Barack Obama nervously fluffed his lines (twice!) during the inauguration, it is of course great news to have a Web 2.0 loving President in office. A President who happily uses the awesome Gotham font to proclaim his simplistic, advertising-style, sloganistic promises - that we all find so easy to relate to.
Did his team just hit the right mark with the tone of their campaign? Did the Reagan fans vote Reagan in because they could relate to his age, choice of suits or the font of his letter head? Or is Obama genuinely a man in touch with the nation?
Fingers crossed the promises will be followed by action, else there's going to be a lot of disappointment around the world. I remember a very similar excitement when Tony Blair was elected....
