If you are so great with technology, you would already know you can email the President at any time.If you think the emails go directly to the President, you had better start using your head for something other than a hat rack. As for using google earth to find out what is going on around the world (such as Georgia, Iraq, Afghanistan, etc.), the government only allows you to see what they want you to see. Don't you think the terrorists would be using google earth to see troop movements, strategies, etc. if it could do what you think? My GOD, the younger generation is so darn stupid.

Obama's supporters should be the first to know about his choice--it shows where his priorities are. It's a really cool idea and shows that we have could have a president who puts his money where his mouth is when it comes to technology. As to the older people or those suffering from the digital divide--I'm sure plenty of media reporters will be receiving the text, and will alert the America mainstream accordingly to Obama's choice!

When so many of the problems we face will be solved only through the use of new and developing technology, Obama showing he is technologically literate and appreciative of the power of the internet is a plus in my book. Technophobes like McCain will be at least three steps behind in grasping the possibilities to solve energy and other problems, and we don't have time for dinosaurs to play catch up.

What an arrogant fool. He wants to get more people to sign on to his campaign website so he can claim more 'supporters' not understanding many of them will be non-supporters wanting to know who the rock star chooses as his back-up singer.
