UNIVERSAL VISION

I wonder if Barack Obama Twitters or, at least, does Pick? He certainly must not blog himself. If he does, then it must be nearly unreadable.

Marketing, blogging and doing Social Media is a must in this day and age…. Well, duh! You knew that already. You’d think that the president of the United States would know that too.

But, I guess he is a moron, like his predecessor… Is Obama as dim as Bushy Boy? You be the judge.

Many people have asked me, “How do you blog so much?” Well, the secret, I think, is to – funnily enough – not to think too much. The secret to blogging often (3, 4, 5 times a week) is to write down what you want to say in your blog, Twitter, Pick, whatever immediately on the fly – then spell check it – then upload as soon as possible.

You’ve got to strike while the iron is hot!

If you keep editing and re-editing your blog, it will kill the creative juices and slow down your productivity greatly.

So, when it comes to Social Media and Social Media Marketing, in Japan or your country, then the rules and hints to frequent blogging are to:

1) Write quickly while the ideas are fresh.
2) At least spell-check before uploading
3) Edit after uploading
4) Edit as much as you like using this method. Keep doing it until you get it right.

Simple enough.

Now, just for a laugh, I’ve got to show you the press release from the White House about president Barack Obama’s latest comments. I know how hard it is to keep from making mistakes on a blog as I make them all the time, but you’d think the President of the United States could at least arrange to have work done better than a 4th grade level. Jeez, doesn’t this guy have a proof-reader?

I’m not making this up. This is the White House press release. It is full of amateurish mistakes. I have highlighted the mistakes for you (if this is the level of work we get from the White House and Obama, then we are in serious trouble):

Obama: “We need to commit to fiscal adjustments that stabilize debt-to-GDP ratios at appropriate levels over the medium tenn. I am committed to the restoration of fiscal sustainability in the United States and believe that all G-20 countries should put in place credible and growthfriendly plans to restore sustainable public finances. But it is critical that the timing and pace of consolidation in each economy suit the needs of the global economy, the momentum of private sector demand, and national circumstances. We must be flexible in adjusting the pace of consolidation and learn from the consequential mistakes of the past when stimulus was too quickly withdrawn and resulted in renewed economic hardships and recession. For our part, we will pursue measures to SUppOit the recovery in private demand and return the unemployed to work. At the same time, we recognize the impoltance of setting a credible medium-term fiscal path: that is why my Administration will cut the budget deficit we inherited in halfby FY 2013 and work to reduce our fiscal deficit to 3 percent ofGDP by FY 2015, which will stabilize the debt-to-GDP ratio at an acceptable level in that year.”

There are a bunch of other mistakes in this message, but I just copied and pasted one paragraph here for you. There are a bunch more at the original. Is this a joke, or what? I understand a simpleton like myself, making these sorts of spell-check errors, but the president of the United States of America? And in an official press release? Like I said, I’m not making this up…

We’re doomed. We’ve got idiots in the engine room….
