Obama battles Hillary in Texas
Thursday, February 21, 2008
(Berlin, Germany - 11.p.m. local time)
In a couple of hours Obama will take on Hillary in Austin, Texas live on CNN. I will stay up to watch the live debate online. This is more exciting then a football match like Giants versus Patriots or Italy playing soccer against Germany.
As I got into the skype universe, my buddy Zach, whom I had shared several crazy moments on the campaign trail sent me his freshest link to a video production of his infotainment on OBAMA from Paris: http://current.com/topics/88797743_us_election_fever_abroad
I will do a little shoot in Berlin, to see how Berliners are feeling about this fever sweeping across. Otherwise, it will be hard to get away from my desk, since I am battling with 1 TB of footage of HD video. I have to make sense of it all and the process is slow and painful in its detailed labyrinth.
A day later. I got an idea for my editing and...
I watched the debate. What a blast! He is growing in his skills and comes across really presidential and cool. Hillary is looking weak and vex. It’s a pleasure to see this grow and everyone of my overseas friends agrees:
Annemarie: You're right,Barack has grown to be an excellent debater, he did a great job last night. I was very proud of him. Especially that he did not allow Hillary to fluster him, and he pretty much called her on being silly.
Dave: how exciting is this! Did you see the debate last night! Wow, Obama was very impressive... Presidential is the word that comes to mind!
