The Country Turns A Page

We have a new president elect. It will be interesting to see where we go from here. For selfish reasons, It would be swell to see some of that bail-out cash headed towards the SBA so that it would be available to small businesses like ours.

Anyhow, like a lot of people, I was a bit of a skeptic as it relates to the way the polls had Obama in front. Reading a few things this morning on the subject, I had a thought ... the main stream news media is, obviously, way out of touch. I think that it has to do with the way that so many people, most under 35 or so, communicate. TV and newspapers are not the outlets through which information is disseminated. It now comes through Utube, blogs, facebook and other electronic media. This is a very good thing primarily because, one picture is worth 1,000 words. It happened to that big dope in Virginia when he used a racially insensitive term and welcomed a reporter to the "real Virginia" Within a few days, (was it Warner?) was on his way to oblivion. For whatever reason though, the real significance was the accuracy of the comments as presented on Utube. There is the speaker - no denial anymore. This fact did not seem to register with the main stream media. This was proven within the last several weeks as those same people missed so badly WRT Obama's popularity. This is especially true as it relates to the way that the Palin woman conducted herself. How could those dopes possibly think that her diatribes would not end up on the web?

So, the point is, we now have a new generation that's going to be making all kinds of things happen. I'm glad. I hope that, in the future, their influence will be as positive as the Obama election.
