In this Youtube video a person has taken parts of many different speeches Barack Obama has given over the television and has used his words to produce the song "Call Me Maybe" by Carly Rae Jepsen. The video twists the meaning of the word's Obama says by taking them out of the original contest. It is a perfect example of a creative way to use technology and politics. Its surprising to the viewer to see he has actually said all the words needed to make the song. The audience gets no political information from this but instead is amused by the video. The video is very ironic because it is taking a very serious subject of politics and turning it into a light, playful joke, which is not normally how politics are viewed. Before television was invented this was not possible but now there are endless possibilities with the use of television. This reminds me of the word clouds we viewed in class since both are taking the President's words out of context.
