Obama: "No perdemos mucho tiempo leyendo blogs"

"Parte de la razón por la que no perdemos mucho tiempo leyendo blogs es porque si no los lees con mucho cuidado, puedes estar bajo la impresión de que, de alguna manera, hay una respuesta clara en uno u otro sentido, así que nacionalizas todos los bancos, o los dejas actuar solos y que todo estará bien", asegura el presidente de EE UU.
La llegada de Obama a la Casa Blanca el pasado 20 de enero supuso que por primera vez la presidencia de EE UU contase con un blog propio que se ha convertido en el escaparate de la actividad presidencial. Durante la campaña electoral (tanto en las primarias demócratas como en la pugna con McCain), el candidato Obama, se apoyó en las redes sociales y en varias redes de blogs, como DailyKos , una de las más importantes del campo demócrata en la red.
La contestación dada por Obama ha empezado a circular por la blogoesfera estadounidense. Michael Colderone, blogger de Politico.com , ha destacado ésta respuesta en su última entrada. "Señor Presidente, tal vez debería empezar a leer blogs, para saber lo que la gente realmente siente. Es posible que aprenda algo", asegura un lector, en línea con la mayoría de los comentarios.

Barack Obama has been the President of the United States of America for a little over a month now, and in that short time, he's done a lot: He's gotten an economic recovery plan through Congress, he's announced several new foreign-policy initiatives, and he's preempted primetime TV programming on two occasions -- with a press conference a few weeks ago and tonight's State of the Union-ish address at 9 p.m. Eastern. Barack!
Obama may have been dubbed "President Rock Star" by a certain weekly entertainment magazine, but who knew he'd so quickly turn into a TV star, too? Not that I'm complaining. Usually, these prexy pep talks feel like an annoying hindrance to watching The Mentalist (which, ahem, you can see next week, at its regularly scheduled time), but given the economic crisis, I'm actually kinda looking forward to hearing what Obama's going to say tonight. What about you, PopWatchers? Do you endorse all this Presidential preemption, or will it be getting your veto?

Barack Obama
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Barack Hussein Obama II (pronounced /bəˈrɑːk huːˈseɪn oʊˈbɑːmə/; born August 4, 1961) is the 44th and current President of the United States. He is the first African American to hold the office. Obama was the junior United States Senator from Illinois from January 2005 until November 2008, when he resigned following his election to the presidency.
Obama is a graduate of Columbia University and Harvard Law School, where he was the first African American president of the Harvard Law Review. He worked as a community organizer in Chicago prior to earning his law degree, and practiced as a civil rights attorney in Chicago before serving three terms in the Illinois Senate from 1997 to 2004. He also taught constitutional law at the University of Chicago Law School from 1992 to 2004.
Following an unsuccessful bid for a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives in 2000, Obama was elected to the United States Senate in November 2004. Obama delivered the keynote address at the Democratic National Convention in July 2004. During his tenure as Senator, he served on several committees, including the Foreign Relations, Environment and Public Works, Veterans' Affairs, Health, Education, Labor and Pensions and Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs.
After a particularly close campaign in the 2008 Democratic Party presidential primary against rival Hillary Rodham Clinton, he won his party's nomination as a candidate for president, becoming the first major African American candidate for president. In the 2008 general election he defeated Republican candidate John McCain and was sworn in as president on January 20, 2009.
