I had the change to read Barack Obama's book the Audactiy of Hope. Ever since then I've had an eye on Obama. I'm a fan of the way he thinks and how frank and open he is when it comes time to express those thoughts.
Needless to say I was a little surprised when I saw that Obama's campaign seized a myspace account.
I did some more poking and found the letter the owner of the site sent to Obama's campaign to explain the situation.
All of this had me worried that Obama may have finally succumbed to the sliding ethics of presidential politics. The situation is more than a little ugly but it looks like Obama is at least trying to do the right thing here.
Which brings me to what I've learned. Things get more complicated quickly once you start to add coverage and influence. The more powerful and more visible you are the more worried you have to be about what other people are saying and who might be listening to them.
I guess thats just another reason its good to be unknown.
