Hilary Clinton: 1984



Definitely not breaking news, but in case anyone hadn't seen this, I wanted to post it on my webpage to keep us up to date with interesting, "grown up," water cooler talk. This video was posted on YouTube, apparently by someone who wasn't an official member of the Obama camp, in support of Barack Obama and obviously, against Hilary Clinton. It's a take off of the Super Bowl commercial that Apple used to introduce the Macintosh to the American public.

It's a bit inspiring and eye-opening about how much America has been able to slowly embrace at least some change that this upcoming Democratic nomination battle is going to be decided by a race between an African-American man and a White woman. Well at least it will remain inspiring, until they both get beat by a Republican White guy (kidding!...well, kind of).

I wonder what it would say about our country connotatively if in a year where everyone thinks a Democrat will take over as the POTUS (what up, West Wing), a white rich Republican still manages to win the election. It's also interesting that the election has candidates (other than McCain and possibly Edwards) that have don't have the traditional experience (both military and in terms of years) that typical candidates seem to have. I don't really know that much about political history, but I'm wondering if any city mayors have made the jump to become the President of the United States like Rudy Giuliani is attempting to do. Regardless, wanted to share the video. Original video is posted below.



It's funny how this commercial to introduce the Mac was so dark and yet today, Macs are advertised like this.



Out with the old, in with the new.
