Welcome to the first of (what I hope are) many posts where I share what I see as the real motives behind many of the events in our daily lives.
First up: The first every online Presidential Town Hall. Cool, huh? Obama bringing politics into the 21st century. Saving the government money by not traveling. Helping the environment by not using fuel on Air Force One. Giving the ‘little guy’ easier access to the President. This is all well-and-good, but what’s the real motive?
Unfortunately, I think it’s to collect names, addresses, and email for future political campaigns. To submit questions and vote on the ones President Obama will answer, you need to enter your contact information. This information will be used to contact people to try and gain support for future legislation, candidates, and the Presidents own re-election. As of right now, 92,927 have participated… seems to have worked.
