Obama 2.0: The Business of Politics
Obama 2.0 is in all the headlines today. A friend of mine just send this to me via Twitter (thanks @JillKoenig). What does this mean?

There are true nuggets of marketing, positioning and execution gold that can be found here.

Here are some of the headlines that I believe take our eye off the ball.
