Obamamania hits the USA – and the world
A friend in the United States has e-mailed me as follows:
“We’re all excited here about Obama’s inauguration. The security is incredible–expanded security zone around the Mall area, Virginia bridges closed to cars, bomb trucks, etc. But everyone understands why it is necessary. I’m staying out of town myself, but we’re doing a pre-inaugural party in the city on Monday night and joining friends on Tuesday morning for an inaugural brunch.
Obama is doing something very different–he’s keeping his internet campaign organization alive and calling it a new name: Organizing America. He going to use it for on-going fund-raising and grass-roots lobbying on Congress by his supporters. We’ll see whether it sustains the same energy now that he is elected.
But the entire country is going Obama-crazy. For the first time in the history of our country, every child can grow up with the hope to be anything they want to be in life. His election truly is transformational for America.”
I talked about the idea of Obama keeping his Internet campaign alive in this posting.
