Elmo: I’m a little late on this one but I thought I’ll share my thoughts about Obama’s inauguration yesterday.
Over here in Germany the inauguration of the 44th President gained a lot of attention. Not only from the media but from regular people as myself as well. I watched the whole ceremony and must say I was very impressed by the huge masses of people in Washington as well as from Barack H. Obama’s speech.
I think he addressed the existing problems in the world well and spread a lot of hope for the upcoming years especially in “hard” times like these.
Thankfulls nothing bad happened yesterday and the first “change” has happened. “The White House” got a blog now. Lol.
The funniest part of the ceremony was probably the moment where Chief Justice John Roberts misread the oath twice.

Elmo: This is probably not of interest for everybody but since I’m a student of political science I thought I’ll post it.
In case you always wondered how Barack Obama raised stunning $500 Million online let me tell you. The next President had over 3 Million people giving money to his campaign via the web. His team recorded over 6.5 Million donations throughout his run for president. The average online donation was $80.

Elmo: Who would have thought this 20 years ago? A black man is finally President of the United States of America. At this point congratulations to Mr. Barack Obama and his entourage.
As my personal favorite I’m very happy to see him as the 44th President even as an non-american. I think with his charisma and his strong mind he’ll have a big impact not only in America but also in the rest of the world.
I hope and wish that their will be a better and closer together throughout the globe.
Barack Obama’s speech:
Cheers

Elmo: One day till the world will know if Barack Obama aka “Mr. Change” or John McCain aka “The Plumber” will be the next President of the United States of America.
A lot of artist have contributed to either campaign and one of the best contributes from the music industry is a joint called “Change gone come” by Charles Hamilton, Asher Roth and B.O.B. It isn’t exactly a song about politics but rather about change in general.
Check it: Change gone come

Elmo: The presidential election is just two days away and the race might be closer than one expected. The polls aren’t all clear. Some see Obama ahead by only a few points other predict a huge margin between him and John McCain.
From my feelings Barack Obama should be the clear winner but back in 2000 most people didn’t see George W. Bush ahead either.
On Nov. 4th we all will know more. I will be certainly awake this Tuesday and watch the election.
To my friends overseas, do yourself a favor and go out and vote.

Elmo: John McCain won the election against Barack Obama by a single vote. And who’s fault is that? Elvis! That’s the story line of a very funny video published by Moveon.Org. See what happens if John McCain really wins. (lol)

Elmo: I found this interesting poll website called Europe Votes a couple of weeks ago. If you want to know if either Barack Obama or John McCain would win the presidential elections in Europe, you will find all your answer there.
By the way, Senator Obama is leading huge in Europe (lol)

Elmo: Long story short, Barack Obama visited St. Louis yesterday morning and found an amazing mass of people waiting and cheering for him. Several blogs and newspapers were speaking of 100000+ in front of the “Gateway to the West” giving it all for the future president.
Obama stills seems to amaze the masses and certifies his status as a rockstar.

Elmo: We have come to the final debate in this years presidential election and it appears that this will be the last chance for John McCain to “change” the election to his favor. Looking at the daily polls these days it almost seems like that the race to The White House is already over. McCain is trailing Barack Obama by almost 10%.
Tonight’s debate at Hofstra University in New York is, as mentioned above, probably the last shot for the Arizona Senator and the topics aren’t in his favor either. Host Bob Schieffer form CBS News will be asking the candidates about domestic and economic policy. Obama should be a slight favorite referring to the themes.
Tomorrow we all will know a little bit more about the likely outcome of Nov. 4th election.
The debate will start at 9:00 P.M. as usual.
Come trough tomorrow for some updates.

Elmo: And we are at it again. Tonight will be the third presidential TV debate. After the vice-presidential debate last Thursday we are back with the Democrats Barack Obama against the GOP’s John McCain. What’s special about tonight’s debate is the format. It won’t be a traditional debate as we have seen in the last two but a format called Townhall-Meeting. The audition and the viewers can ask the candidates questions, this means there will be some kind of interactivity.
Barack Obama is a slight favorite due to his outstanding rhetoric repertoire but as I heard Senator McCain is really good at this style of debate.
Place of happening will be Nashville, Tennessee. The host is NBC’s Tom Brokaw and tip off will be 3:00 P.M.
Stay tuned for the traditional wrap up tomorrow.
