The guy there is Brendan O Connor. He is an Irish journalist who makes the front page of the Irish Independent every Sunday, one of Ireland's broadsheets. A former comedian, he is known for his skepticism, sarcasm and wit......he said something recently that caught my attention.
'The last guy who thought he was perfect was nailed to a cross', he said on live Irish television and was referring to the freshly ordained President of the United States, Barack Obama.
I`m sure you saw any images, speeches, glitz and glamour from last week's gala.... Once thing is sure, we all have an opinion about Obama.
And if you want to articulate it, you can by producing a three minute video for the 'Democracy video challenge' competition.
www.videochallenge.america.gov./
The competition is open to people from all over the world and is an iniative of the American government. You must upload a three minute on you tube by the 31st of this month..
the question to answer in the video is 'what is democracy?'
Seems like a bit of a global marketing research stunt being pulled here but winners get a trip to both Washington and Hollywood so I´ve already started my video!
