President Obama has been actively promoting votes for the Democratic Party over these several weeks. In his speeches, he promoted much enthusiasm. However, one of the most important features of media - reporting negative news - makes us feel that we have so many "problems". Will Obama's pace be fast enough to counteract the effect of news?
Unemployed people will need to find temporary jobs for retailers during holidays in order to carry them through holidays; stores will need to carry out discounts in order to promote sales during Halloween; no more federal financial support for stem cell researches, several of the largest banks are facing foreclosure problems, etc. The problem is that these are not abstract economic statistics, but very real daily life issues. Imagine how the people would feel when they are just thrilled by President Obama's speech then realize that they cannot find jobs, that they cannot sell the goods at their store, that their stem cell research will possibly stop because they lack financial support, and that they get a flawed bank paperwork.
Could their confidence defeat the reality?
Actually the reality is not that bad because there are also positive news happening everyday; however, they are not favor by the news. Therefore, there media helps increase a national fear or dissatisfaction toward the government. Will President Obama's effort win over American people?
