Wolf Blitzer: CNN Situation Room & THE OBAMA TIME CAPSULE

No, but trendy and "smart" technology and advertising can buy the votes and continued support of its target audience, those who would love to project themselves as trendy and smart. It's amazing to see so many people fall for basic marketing schemes like this who claim to be possess those very qualities. Meanwhile, there are marketing firms and ad agencies full of people patting each other on the back for selling the unsellable. Meanwhile, 11 months later, those very people have lost their jobs.

It doesn't make you "greener," cooler, more fresh or more forward-thinking. It shows that you did not do your homework prior to the election, and are simply a sucker for cheesy marketing. Much like this book that attempts to make an icon of someone who has done nothing in 11 months to improve the country's situation, but has found fresh, new ways to worsen what we thought couldn't get any worse. Artful, tasteful documentation can not glamorize and justify a mistake to millions. Or can it?

I would smack anyone who put my name on that book, or my face next to this president. Not groundbreaking, not innovative, this type of "customization" is old news. Erwitt and Smolan should be ashamed for stooping this low with such a gimmick to impose their political views dressed as nostalgia, especially at this point in time when collective regret for helping put Obama in office is spreading like H1N1. Supporting him doesn't make you more intelligent, sophisticated, more of a humanitarian...
