In a post titled "Why I support Barack Obama" O'Reilly Radar CEO Tim O'Reilly outlined 4 issues that shaped his support:
1.) Connected, Transparent Govenment
2.) Financial Crisis
3.) Climate Change
4.) Net Neutrality

The innovative my.barackobama.com garnered much praise,

His campaign has demonstrated his ability to harness the internet not
only for fundraising, but also his comfort with its decentralized
nature. my.barackobama.com
is not a one-way fundraising machine, but a platform that has enabled
his supporters to act independently, while coordinating their
decentralized, bottom-up activities in a way that adds to their
effectiveness. What's more, it is a platform that has allowed supporters to disagree with him,
and so to shape his policies - a far cry from the current
administration's belief that disagreement is equivalent to disloyalty.

He continues,

With over 18M channel views and 113k subscribers as of November 1, the Obama campaign works "to use their popularity on YouTube to get out the vote."

"the measure of the next president is, how effectively he going to help make your lives better? How well is he going to help create new jobs? Does he have any idea what the new jobs of the furture are going to be? Does he have  a sense of how we have to reform our education system so that every child has real opportunity? Does he have a plan to make sure that more people have healthcare does he have a plan to rebuild our infrastructure so that we are competitive in the future? And does he have a plan to make sure that the thumbs are not on the scale of big business all the time..."

I support Barack Obama because he is honest with us about the challenges we face. Barack promises to hold himself to a high standard, but he doesn't pretend he can solve all our problems with proclamations from the Oval Office. Barack expects us to do our part too. I support Barack Obama because he challenges me, all of us, to be better citizens, and from there we can create a better America.
