Featuring style and look over substance, PSY’s “Gangnam Style” will probably be the first music video to reach 1 BILLION views. Pause and think about that for a moment. A video produced in South Korea featuring Korean lyrics is going to have views equal to roughly 15% of the worlds population and a much higher percentage of the world’s population with access to computes able to broadcast the video. This is a , funny and campy piece of creativity with charm and a driving beat but really not much more. If you haven’t seen it, here it is for your amusement:
President Obama is the political equivalent to Gangnam Style – cute, charismatic, flashy and fun to watch but when you are done watching and think about it there really isn’t much there. Part of the problem is the enormous arrogance of the man who always thinks that he is the smartest man in the room. I guess I can understand the President’s arrogance – if I won a Nobel Prize for getting hired for my job I guess that might go to my head as well. As we have seen President Obama melt under the pressure of the first tough questions he has faced during his Presidency it is clear that there is no substance behind the mask of this “great thinker.”
A Gangnam Style President can actually lead and people will always be willing to follow. The problem is that if you have a Gangnam Style President whose ideas are flawed and ineffective people find themselves led over the cliff like lemmings. I hope next week we have the wisdom to elect a man of substance and can go back to just enjoying the light comedy that is Gangnam Style in its benign music form.
To prove my point, here is a link to the Halloween light display at the White House.

FORCE MULTIPLIERS
i see a song on vh1
i see it played several times
mostly in the mornings
in the day room at the insane asylum
in this song a singing gameshow winner
a young woman
cuts off her hair and joins the military
over a boy
she is shown training
and storming a beach in an amphibious assault
the song is horrible and the video is terrible
but i watch it every time it is on
next i am in a hotel room watching cable tv news
some 1400 combat related jobs in the US military
open up to women for the first time today
i reflect on the music video
i reflect on the men and women in our military
on who and what our military is evolving to be
now i am standing in a mcdonalds lobby
a very short counter girl
working an early evening shift after a day at high school
she barks calls to the team putting up food in back operations
when she sounds off and shouts up
buzzers warning and display screens blinking
i have a moment
and i realize that with the force multipliers we engage today
this one little girl could probably be trained to command
any weapons system on an Aegis crusiser, reasonably from one laptop

==============================
In both cases the music are atrocious but I personally prefer the foolish Korean whimsy to the blatant military recruiting advert disguised as a music video. But then I will NOT be voting for the guy who recently pledged, in effect, to defend Israel to the last drop of American blood.
I hate both of those stinkin videos. Hundreds of millions of views! Sad. Speaking of force multipliers, my friend writes his own songs and records his own music and makes his own youtube videos with the same laptop I’m using to post this. As far as I know he’d never made a dollar or ever inspired someone to go get killed protecting Israel. Hope he’s not angry if he sees this but here is one of his new pieces. – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wlD_zKshs9Y
I like; interesting and you’re right to compare this with Obama. Perfect!
Greetings, I’m Mittie and I’m certainly pleased that I found thinkingrightblog.
com. If you don’t mind, I just have one quick question. What do you do to clear your mind and find your center of focus before you sit down to write? I have had problems with clearing my mind in order to get my ideas out. I love writing once I get into it, but in most cases I feel as if I end up wasting the first 10 to 15 minutes forcing myself to focus. Any tips or suggestions?
