Al Jazeera on Obama Win

I stumbled across the most interesting segment on the English version of Al Jazeera. It is a special titled "The World After Bush" and it focuses on Obama's win and what this means to Americans, the world, and the United States foreign policy. The one-hour special is Al Jazeera's senior political analyst, Marwan Bishara and four professional looking at the United States and where the country goes from here. The segment is separated into four parts and all of them can be found on the website or on YouTube.

This is one of the unique qualities that online journalism allows. Instead of hearing, seeing, and watching what Americans think about the end of the Bush presidency, now everyone can see what people all over the world feel about it. Being able to watch how people outside of the United States are analyzing the American situation is vitally important in order to know where things need to change. Even more amazing is the special was aired yesterday! Talk about online journalism being immediate.

I have included Part Two of the special because I felt it really said something about what the world thinks of the United States. It also includes reaction from people all over the world to Obama's win and an embarrassing piece of Bush's wonderful moments as President. This was truly an eye-opening special. I highly suggest everyone check out at least the first two parts.
