I needed to find a current pop culture topic for my ongoing, weekly analysis on my blog. I thought over different topics that are currently in our pop culture. The most current that I could think of, that I do somewhat follow, is the presidential candidacy of Barak Obama.
I realize that politics do not always translate into popular culture, but Barak is able to draw people by the thousands to his rallies. He is able to bring people who are not political into the political process. His message of change and hope for America, although rather vague at times, has resonated with a large segment of the American population.
His politics are not in line for what I believe is the best course for America, in both the short term and long term views. I cannot dismiss, however, the charisma of the man and of his message. This first post is not strong on analysis. It is more of setting up the foundation for the weekly analysis that is to come. I am sure that this will also be set against his opponent for the Democratic presidential nomination – Hillary Clinton. Even though she is an artifact of popular culture herself and she will be mentioned, this analysis will be Barak’s.
