A list of Barack Obama websites for the internet savvy culture of bloggers and posters. Featuring direct links to everything from his Twitter account, to a summary of his political views, his YouTube Page and so much more. Hopefully this will inspire youth to learn more and vote this November.
This is a great starting point for the youth of the country to learn more about Barack Obama, and through channels they use on a regular basis, instead of MSNBC or, god help us, Fox News. These are outlets that the youth of this nation use and hopefully can learn more and go out and vote on election day!
Barack’s Digg Profile
Thats right, Barack’s on Digg. If fact for a busy politician running for president, he’s pretty active and has submitted and popularized some great stuff. Digg always has front page info about Barack, so visiting the popular in politics pages, you will find more than enough information on Barack news.
How Obama Stands On Almost Every Issue
A rundown of almost all of Obama’s standing on issues from civil rights to the environment to corporations and war. If you’re new to learning about Barack Obama, visit this site first to learn more about how he stands on almost all the deciding issues during a election. You can find his stance on almost anything here.
Obama’s Facebook Profile
Like Obama’s myspace page, his facebook page is very similar. The fact that he is reaching out through mediums such as myspace, facebook, flickr and twitter shows dedication to the youth and trying to connect with them and get them involved with politics and their country.
Barack’s Twitter Account
Yeah. He Twitters too. In fact he has great tweets, and their not pesky or bothersome. An informative way to keep up with where he is, who he’s speaking too and campaign news from Barack himself.
Baracks Official Wesbite
This link will take you directly to his official campaign website and stance on the issues. I have also included a link with a summary of more of his views in broader categories and his voting history.
Obama’s YouTube Channel
Barack’s youtube page is the first place to go for new campaign videos, videos of his speeches, meetings, debates and so much more. Almost 1200 videos and countless hours of everything you could ever want for in front of camera appearances.
Flickr Stream
It’s pretty cool to see Barack’s Flickr stream, where you see the pictures from a president elect’s point of view, and not just user submitted photos of him. You can also keep up with where he is, because he has thousands of photos.
Barack’s MySpace Profile
If you’re a big myspace fan, friend him and check out his myspace. It’s similar to his facebook and his official campaign page. Having a myspace page, hopefully he can connect with and encourage more of our youth to do more research and get involved with their countries issues.
Wikipedia Barack
Check Wikipedia for more information on Barack. If your not a wiki fan then go to his website. But wiki has a great database of information about his early life and early political career.
Official Voting History
Check Obama’s voting history since being a senator. This is for you if you are a die hard fact checker, you can see how he voted during each of the sessions, on each issue.
Stance on Foreign Policy
A great question and answer session with Barack about his stance on foreign policy, from war in Iraq, to Chinese growth and development, to Iran and North Korea. Great to hear it quoted directly from Obama instead of it being transcribed ten times over by the mainstream media.
Daily Kos
Daily Kos is the biggest political blog on the internet and is a liberally leaning democratic grassroots blog. The idea is activism and contributing editors that are selected through the Kos community. Daily Kos will almost always be in discussion over Obama’s political track, many times breaking news and uncovering follies of big media conglomerates.
Hopefully these websites will encourage people to learn more about Obama and educate themselves, their friends, peers and family. Becoming active in politics and issues that directly affect you is crucial, especially for our youth. Voting is the number one easiest way to get involved.

This article is in violation of Webupon’s content policy and I have requested that it be removed.

In what way Ken?

Would Webupon have published it if it was in violation? Enquiring minds…!
August 4th, 2008 at 1:00 pm
The slant of the article makes it more of a campaign message than technical guide. Unfortunately, the Webupon terms of service are ambiguous (they restrict political content provided by “visitors” – and the claim is that the restriction only applies to comments about articles, not the articles themselves).
Mistakes are made in publishing all the time, so it really doesn’t surprise me this article got published. My point is that, if you’re going to publish such a thinly-veiled political advertisement, at least ensure it’s balanced. And don’t hide behind a weak argument that it’s a technical piece and Webupon would be happy to publish the other side too, if submitted. Best to steer clear entirely.
In my opinion, Obama’s candidacy makes the study of Socialism and Nazis relevant, but I doubt whether Webupon will be publishing any guides to Nazi websites any time soon.
August 5th, 2008 at 10:35 pm
There study of Nazism is already relevant with our current president. Our freedoms have been snowballing away from us since 9/11.
Nevertheless, one might wonder how slanted you would find a McCain article posted on webupon.
