			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ok, I know the name is weird and stupid, but <a href="http://www.youbama.com/">this is a grassroots political support campaign on crystal meth</a>. A site that strictly entertains videos of the <a href="http://www.barackobama.com/issues/technology/">Obama</a> supporting persuasion, with no other rules. A truly democratic (hackable!) voting structure pushes popular shit to the top. The introduction:</p>
<blockquote><p>It may seem obvious that years of experience in national politics would be the best preparation for the White House, but it&#8217;s not the case.</p>
<p>Look at two presidents who had the most political experience when they took office: Lyndon B. Johnson and Richard Nixon. They had great experience, but they weren&#8217;t the greatest presidents. On the other hand, look at two presidents who had the least amount of experience: Abraham Lincoln and Franklin D. Roosevelt. </p>
<p>Now, decide if you want to vote just for experience or for the better candidate.</p></blockquote>
<p>Weird defense to the experience thing, but an interesting statement of support. The consists of videos of all walks of Obama-supporting life. It combines <a href="http://youtube.com/user/sarcasmosis">YouTube</a> with a sort of <a href="http://digg.com/2008_us_elections">digg</a>-like voting structure to support the candidate said to be most tech-savvy (<a href="http://venturebeat.com/2007/11/13/exclusive-barack-obama-to-name-a-chief-technology-officer/#more-55960">he&#8217;s not scared of technology</a>?! <a href="http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20071114-obamas-innovation-plan-a-christmas-list-for-the-geekerarti.html">what!?</a>).</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s hoping internet people understand that it&#8217;s up to them to get outside and make the magic spread from internet to their jobs and schools and prisons and churches and bars and all that. Talk about this shit in public; it is a public affair.</p>
