Obama Courts The Science & Tech Vote Online

A new web ad that concentrated on the candidate’s science and technology policies was released on Sunday evening by Barack Obama’s campaign. This of course comes as an unusual move from Obama’s campaign.

In order to make its point, the web ad takes footage from Obama's appearance on Google's campus last November.

The ad basically focuses on the candidate’s call fro the betterment of a laundry list of Silicon Valley's top lobbying priorities. Majority of the items are the perennial lobbying items for Silicon Valley companies on Capitol Hill, except from rapid anti-trust enforcement.

This video seems to be quite interesting as there has been no mention at all of Obama's support for net neutralit, and neither about a chief technology officer.

However, it must be noticed that in this video in which science and tech policy is billed as a "Blueprint For Change" by the Obama campaign, is acknowledged as being a transformative force and an important aspect of any administration.

If on Tuesday, the election results actually turn out as the polls are predicting, then tech policy will earn the kind of recognition that it deserves, and the citizens might get a rebooting of America.
