DNC

Is there more talk about such things as the venue move and Clinton charisma than  President Obama's actual speech itself.  Seems to be the case from the many comments we researched and for which we provided this snapshot here in our BETA version.  This is much more about emotion and a new mindset having beome much, much stronger since 2008.  Social change is in a fast-forward motion so in order to really capture the viewer, it seems Obama is going to have to really focus on what he says and with how much sentiment it is delivered.  Will we see that alluring speech-maker from back in the day?  Never say never, but with the advent of people broadcasting so much more of their own sentiments and strength via digital media since 2008; the bar is simply higher.  Further, the issue for the SmartPower generation is hearing how opportunities will be formed for the new economy and new social structure, much of which is digital.  When members of a society are becoming more leaderful themselves, they want to see the same innovative thought reflected.  The concept of "job" is changing.  The meaning of "capital" is expanding.  Are our political leaders actually ahead or behind the curve, and could the sentiment regarding O's speech tonight actually provide that answer already?  Hmmmm......

More yay's than nay's on Mrs. O, if one looks widely across the comment-sphere.  But she, like Mrs. R, is scrutined for perceived (though different) class, spending with, of course, a bit of alluding to race as the cherry on top.  Women in politics can already be a lightning rod.  First lady's can seem even moreso.  In  time of flux, the comments seem to indicate that the issue is about perception - what and how one should handle a role as we are actually in an era of re-defining so many roles and elements.  Notice, the sentiment is not about what Mchelle's words about her husband will or won't do (as pundits and campaign thinks), this person is being actually judged as an extension of the office and the disdain many have for the privilege it either sees bestowed in an era where hierachy is being re-thought.  Precarious?  Yes, but important to understand more than just what's being shoved by the traditional media.  But one thing has been left out thus far:  what, or rather who, will Michelle be wearing during the speech.  LOL.
