Chapter 633: The Blog of the Great Fire
"Honey, I started a blog on Yahoo."
At bedtime, Mr. Obama said to his wife, Michelle.
"It's strange that you government officials don't always dislike to post on the Internet?"
"Yes. However, the guy named Zhang Ning told me to give it a try, hoping that the situation would not be too bad. β
Despite the blog, Obama has some concerns.
In fact, Obama is not the first to open a blog on the government's official website.
Garfield, the former governor of California, was very interested in starting a blog at the time.
It's a pity that when Garfield opened his blog, it immediately attracted many attacks from netizens.
Not only that, many netizens also used Garfield's blog to swear to criticize Garfield's new policy.
In the end, Garfield only served one term as governor of California, and he lost popular support.
Obama is also starting a blog at this time, and I have to say, there are some adventures.
However, he felt that Zhang Ning was reasonable.
In addition, since he entered politics, his character is quite good, and he has been working hard for the people, so he should not be the same as Garfield.
At most, if the situation is not good, close this blog, that is.
β¦β¦
The next day, Obama had breakfast and came to the Illinois government office in a good mood.
With the House of Representatives election fast approaching, Obama needs to hurry up and prepare.
"I still have limited funds, otherwise, I can go to a few more TV stations to do publicity."
The U.S. electoral system is relatively fair.
However, even if it is fair, there are shortcomings.
For example, when most metropolitan councillors are elected, they will publicize it externally to gain a higher approval rating.
Most of the time, this kind of propaganda is through guΓ² television, or directly go to a certain place to give a speech and canvass for votes.
However, whether it is a TV station or where to go to canvass for votes, it requires huge financial support.
Obama, who came from a black family, didn't have much money.
So, he had to prepare a little more.
"Mr. Obama, something is wrong."
Just as Obama sat down and was about to sort out the materials, assistant Hemmel suddenly rushed in.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing Hymel running into the office in a panic, Obama asked.
"Mr. Obama...... Do you start a blog with Yahoo. β
"Yes, I have it."
Obama tightened his heart, "Is there something wrong with the blog?" β
"Check it out on Yahoo, your blog is on the front page of Yahoo News."
"Ah......h
The heart screamed badly, and Obama immediately turned on the computer.
Still something went wrong.
This move was too risky.
It seems that the one named Zhang Ning, although he is a genius, is only a student after all.
Although, he is now more powerful than many people, and he is much more powerful than himself back then.
Obama didn't blame Zhang Ning, but now he regrets it.
Quickly open Yahoo.
That's right.
News about his blog appeared on the front page of Yahoo News.
"Illinois Congressman Barack Obama Launches Yahoo Blog to Share His Work as a Legislator with Netizens."
Hey.
There's something strange about Obama a little.
Looking at the title, there doesn't seem to be any bad news.
Click on the headline, and Obama moves on.
Following the blog of former California Governor Garfield, Illinois Congressman Barack Obama also launched a blog at 20 o'clock yesterday. Moreover, Obama also shared his work as a congressman with netizens on the same day. Like Garfield's blog, Obama's blog quickly attracted the attention of netizens as soon as it was launched, and many people left messages. However, unlike Garfield's blog, many netizens no longer attacked again as before, but left messages on the blog from time to time, expressing the hope that Mr. Obama would write more blog content.
So far, Obama's blog has received 200,000 hits, nearly 10,000 comments from netizens, and 30,000 favorites.
"Oh my God, Hymeel, that's what you're talking about."
Obama only feels like fire and ice.
Just now he thought something was wrong with the blog, but now he sees this report.
Indeed, something is wrong with my blog.
However, this major event is not bad news, but good news.
With some excitement, Obama quickly landed on his blog.
Sure enough, as said in the news, his blog has received a lot of attention.
And they keep leaving comments on their blogs.
Although there were also voices of attack, most of them were still supportive, and they were very welcome.
"Great, I've been worried about the problem of opening a blog."
"Now it seems that not only did there be no problem, but it was welcomed by many netizens."
Obama was overjoyed, but thought to himself.
These netizens are really as Zhang Ning said.
Although they seem to be virtual and unreal, Obama still sees a lot of reality and sincerity in their messages. And, of course, there are those who welcome you from the bottom of your heart.
"Virtual Internet, is it really a virtual Internet?"
At this moment, Obama felt a little confused.
However, Obama did not think too much about it, and this is something that is left to Internet practitioners to think about.
Now Obama is very excited, constantly replying to many messages.
It wasn't until about the end of the afternoon that Obama's reply stopped.
After the stop, Obama wrote another blog post.
I'm glad to see so many netizens welcoming and commenting, and to be honest, I'm still excited to see everyone's support for me. For this reason, I have spent a lot of time replying to everyone's messages. It's just that there are too many replies from everyone, and I can't reply to all the comments, so I'm sorry to everyone.
Today, I would like to share with you once again some of the bits and pieces of my work.
This time, I would like to talk to you about the formulation of laws and regulations.
Shake it off, Obama wrote a lot, a lot.
Well, that's all for the formulation of relevant laws and regulations, and if I continue to talk about it, I'm afraid the governor will destroy me.
Also, a little bit about it here. Originally, this blog was built by a good friend, just an attempt. No, today I found out that the Internet is also a very good platform for communicating with the public. Moreover, this platform has brought me closer to everyone, and even more real. In the future, I will continue to publish blog posts. Of course, I also watch everyone's comments every day. If you have any good ideas, you are more than welcome to send me a message in my blog......
Obama is very eloquent and can write good articles. Coupled with humor, after the release of the second blog, it once again attracted the attention of countless netizens. Especially at the end, Obama mentioned that he hopes everyone will leave more messages and build more. Even some about life, some about the construction of the government management process.
In the meantime, Obama's blog has stimulated many netizens' comments.
Back and forth, Obama posts blog posts from time to time, and interacts with netizens from time to time. Obama's blog post became a celebrity blogging space for Yahoo in an instant. At the same time, Obama's popularity, after the non-stop blog posting, has shown a continuous rise, even an accelerated rise.
β¦β¦
Illinois.
Illinois Governor "George" is awaiting a report on Illinois' popular approval ratings.
As a kind of political system in the United States, the popularity of the public determines the stay of most officials.
Most government officials are very concerned about the popularity of the people.
Similarly, the presidential election system shows that whoever can win the support of the people will be the president.
No matter how talented you are, no matter how powerful you are. If popular support is too low, you will also be abandoned by the government.
"Governor, your popular approval rating has picked up slightly in the last month. In addition, you have done a lot of work to restore public support this month, including the introduction of some bills that benefit the interests of the people, and I think your approval rating will definitely exceed 50% this month. β
50% popular approval is a dividing line.
If it is higher than 50%, then, no matter how strong the competitor is, it will not be able to overthrow itself.
But if it is less than 50%, then, most likely, your position will not be guaranteed.
Illinois Governor George's popular approval rating fell to 40 percent at one point, and only recently rose back to 45 percent.
If it stays below 50 percent, it will be very bad for George.
"Well, how long will it take to count jΓΉ."
"It's going to be counted right away, you wait."
A few minutes later, the assistant counted the popular approval rating in Illinois.
"Oh my God, Governor, your approval rating is totally over 50 percent, a staggering 64 percent."
"Ah, what."
George stood up openly, "How is that possible?" β
64% is not a very staggering support poem, history from, there are many governors who have reached 64% support. But jumping from 45% to 64% all at once is quite terrifying. In the more than 200 years of U.S. history, no governor has ever fallen from 45 percent approval rating to 60 percent.
"You, look."
The assistant trembled and handed the figure to George.
"Out of 1 million people who voted, 640,000 chose to support it."
What is not 64%.
"My God."
George made a cross on his chest.
What's going on here?
Under normal circumstances, such a rating of support would not have been possible.
Even, when such a support rate is released, some people will think it is cheating.
"Check, give me a closer look, what the hell is going on."
For such a support rate, even George has some disbelief.
However, when the government carefully investigated again, it found that there was no problem with this approval rate.
"What's going on here?"
Looking at this number, George was really a little confused.
This is the most confusing thing since I became governor.
However, if you are confused, you will be confused, and the approval rating will rise, which is a good thing.
When he couldn't find out the situation, George didn't bother to care anymore.
It wasn't until when the House of Representatives election began, Illinois Congressman Barack Obama's approval rating hit 85 percent, and he was successfully elected to Congress, that Governor George finally knew. It's true that their approval rating has risen, but this rise is not their real support for themselves. As for why, it's all because the people think that Obama is the legislator of their own state, and they also support themselves a little.
