Obama Endorsement: The One Who Can Bring a 21st Century Paradigm Shift

I believe Barack Obama has been the driving force in creating nothing short of a paradigm shift in politics. He and his campaign have used technology to create a paradigm shift in fundraising (from the wealthy few to the middle-class many), in organizing (from the party insiders to decentralized citizens), and in media (from total reliance on expensive 30-second TV spots to powerful use of viral new media.) Obama and his team deeply and viscerally understand the power of technology because they know they would not have won the primaries without it. From everything I can see in their proposed ideas and policies, they intend to fully leverage technology beyond electoral politics to help transform government and take on the massive challenges of this country and the world. America needs to make technology-enhanced paradigm shifts in energy, in education, in healthcare, among many other areas. We need to finally and fully transition the American economy and society to thrive in the global, interconnected 21st century world. I believe America is on the verge of a transformative moment, is about to enter a period of explosive social and political innovation that we have seen only a few times in American history. The next decade or so could bring a transformation in the American way of life comparable to what happened in the Progressive Era of the early 20th century. I strongly believe there is no other leader in America right now so well positioned to help America make this paradigm shift.
