Dubya: "I Am Bias and I am Not Bias, It’s The Right Strategy……"
A few friends sent me emails about supporting Obama in the US elections on my FaceBook page. “You don’t have the rights, you don’t live here anymore” or something similar. Well here’s news for you mates.I do, and I do again and again……the next US President can avert a global war that’s brewing. I am as vested in the outcome as you are sun shines.
This is the most useable most pleasurable web site I have visited in many years. If that’s how he presents himself then he’s the man to represent America to the rest of the world! He gets web 2.0! He just get’s it period! Knows the facts! It is sheer brilliance. Elegant design, navigation is a dream and it just feels bright and new. I am about to start really focusing on the software product side of my work at Microsoft and user interfaces (more accurately user interface toolkits for solutions developers in this case) are on the top of my mind. If the page for my product is ever as clear as this I will be firmly engrossed in my new mission in life. I plan to make security technology a pleasure to use in every sense of that statement.
It’s either that or the “grooviness” of Dubya as reported on the front page of the Sunday Times today. Not the first time either! America needs Obama to re-present its image folks! Stop being made a laughing stock and vote for change. I would if I could so you are lucky that you can and that’s why I have a right to an opinion even if I don’t have a right to vote!
I love America (it was very good to me) and I want it to evolve. Link here to be added in nicely later, security people don’t care about UI design anyway!

Full disclosure: I’m voting for Obama. I made the decsion long ago, and had exactly two reasons — the guy is extremely intelligent, and turned down the easy opportunity to cash in, preferring to “fight the good fight” instead. I know several people as smart as Obama (outside of Redmond, even ;^)), but I can count on maybe two fingers the number that would make that kind of choice, had they the opportunity.
That said, I made what I think is a telling remark in a convo the other night. The topic was the “horse race” between Barack and Hillary. I terms of execution, I found myself using Google as an analogy to Obama’s campaign. They seem to have a consistent vision of what is needed, consistently see further down the road than the competition, and just do not make (many) mistakes,
I realize you may quibble with my choice of tech firms to use in my analogy. Point is, I think Google is best in class, and I subconsciously picked them as the comparator for Obama’s execution.
IF you like his policies, then this should be a huge plus. If you dislike them, then it may soon be time to cue the obligatory Nelson Muntz sound clip.
