The Presidency

Last Wednesday, Barack Obama was elected for his second term. My involvement in this presidential election. I had only known things about the two candidates from research in school. I couldn't really debate many things about the presidential candidates if I didn't do research in school.
Anyway, I loved reading Facebook throughout the night. There were so many different and unfiltered perspectives. In my opinion, the internet has changed the political battlefield. Nowadays, people can connect themselves with people across the nation in seconds. Propaganda can be viewed by thousands. Unfortunately, people often turn a this electronic marketplace of ideas into a "flame war".
Congratulations to Brad Schneider for becoming the representative for Illinois 10th Congressional District.
