How Obama Really Did It

              Barack Obama, the president of the United States, is a widely popular man. As he should be, he is the first African American to ever be president of the United States. He is however even more popular among the younger generation and when he was running, most of his votes came from the younger voters. Why is he so popular among the younger voters you may ask? He did something his Republican counterpart wasn't able to do succesfully. That being social networking sites  and the internet to gain attention and potential voters. Barack Oboma even had his site that was known as MyBo. Barack Obama knew how to gain the attention of the young.

               John McCain was very unsuccessful at this being that age group of his potential voters were much older and less likely to be on social networking sites. The site obviously not only made Obama more popular, but also brought in more revenue and advertising for his campaign. The viral Internet offered myriad ways to propagate unfiltered Obama messages. Famous rapper Will.iam. even made a music video to Obama's "yes we can" speech. This is how Obama got the votes he did.
