So, Obama was declared the 44th President of the United States. Several political analysts claim that the mass media has contributed largely to Obama’s win, and on the contrary, has also led to the downfall of John McCain and Sarah Palin’s (refer to the much hyped about SNL appearance) campaign.
A few celebrities also joined the campaign to vote for this election. One of them is Sean Combs, better known as P.Diddy to the hiphop world, whom has always been a strong proponent in getting young people involved in the elections. Democrat Diddy shared his thoughts on the power every single vote cast by the American people in choosing the US’ next leader.
“I felt like my vote was the vote that put him [Obama] into office. It was down to one vote, and that was going to be my vote. And that may not be true, but that’s how much power it felt like I had.“
