Response to President Obama Soldiers on Despite Heavy Opposition to Solar Investment.

Like most thing in the political season, everything is done for ratings. If a politician has their name on it, it is most likely campaign funded or campaign driven. Which in reality is very sad, it seems the lust for power in this country and maintaining the status quo is more important then actually accomplishing tasks. take for example why recent presidents do a lot in the beginning of the term, lull in the middle and then towards the end try to be the president everyone wants them to be. Also some politicians are held in place by their convictions instead of their promises. The best way to see who they are actually looking out for is to see where their campaign money comes from. In the case of Obama, he was originally funded  by believe it or not solar companies and alternative energy, which by the way went bankrupt. what do you think of this political game we as a country are forced into every couple of years?

Is it fair to use Behavioral Characteristics to market to people?

One thing that has been on my mind about advertisements is the way marketers use a person sense of guilt , shame and peer pressure to coax them into purchasing their products. For example, colonge and deodereants play off the idea that in our concrete jungles of modern times one may not find an attractive mate with releasing the proper smell, which oddly enough happens to be their products. Also men cannot find women who do not shave their legs "irresistible". So my question is, is it fair to use these sort of primal instincts against people to sell products? Or is it extreamly clever on their part for choosing basic human characteristics?
