Barack Obama's win in the United States' presidential election was a historical event. It marked the beginning of a new era and will ultimately contribute towards the good of the American citizens. He will be acknowledged for years to come, not only as the man responsible for bringing the promising changes to America, but as well as for being the first African-American president in the U.S.
Due to the popularity of the Budweiser beer commercial back in 2000, a new, innovative and very clever second commercial was created recently. The latest "Wazzap" advertisement was memorable and supportive of the campaign for Obama. I found it effective in persuading Americans to vote for Barack Obama through the use of humour and reality while attacking America's current issues that have negatively impacted the entire nation. Obama's message was clearly delivered through the ad, encouraging voters to support his wishes to re-shape the American society and economy. His message, a vote for Barack Obama is a vote for a new beginning, cleverly reached out to the American viewers. Though the commercial was intended for American citizens specifically, it was no surprise that the witty commercial would cause such hype among other countries around the world. It didn’t take too long before Barack Obama was globally recognized and the world anticipated a brighter future with him as president.
During the advertisement several campaign issues were mentioned; increasing unemployment, the war in Iraq, struggle for expensive health care, the fall of the economy and the increase of serious life-threatening weather conditions. It showed that the United States was at the stake of falling apart and with Barack Obama’s guidance, America will be able to rise to the top once again. I believe his idea of raising the awareness of the nation-wide struggles, Obama has prevailed and deserved his win in the election.
