Obama And the Internet

Many people use email to send messages to their families and friends. They use the internet to chat to them sometimes. This helps a lot because email is so fast. It is not like a message that you send in the post. People call the mail sent by post "snail mail".
Young people use social networking web sites like My Space and Facebook to keep in touch with their friends. Some people check their Facebook page many times in one day.
Nowadays politicians use social networking web sites too.  This is how they keep in touch with hundreds of thousands of people. If you go to Facebook, you can find pages for many politicians. People send them messages through these web sites and sometimes those politicians read them. Of course they don't read the thousands of emails sent every day to them. They employ staff.

I came across the Facebook page for Barak Obama. He keeps a lot of photos there and tells people about the new things he wants to do.
You have to be 13 years or more to use Facebook but many Australian children in primary schools have their own pages there. It is a famous web site all over the world. Everyday millions start using it and some people get addicted to it. They never stop using it.
Obama is like a super star. He is more famous than Michael Jackson and Madonna. He is known everywhere in the world. People are mad about him in Japan, Europe and Asia.
When Obama came to office this year millions of people hoped for a big change. Obama replaced George Bush as President of the United States of America. Bush started war in Iraq because America needed more petrol. He caused many disasters around the world too. People thought that anyone replacing Bush would make a better president.
After many months in power nothing happened. He sent more troops to Afghanistan. He didn't send food to people starving in Somalia. He sent weapons estimated at $40 million to kill tens of thousands there and he did nothing for millions of Palestinians who live in the world's only concentration camp in Gaza. He keeps good relationships with many dictators in the Middle East because they are good for America. He gives a blind eye for human rights crimes they commit because America needs petrol from the Middle East.
When Obama ran for president in America, his slogan was "Change". He promised that change was coming to America and the world. Now many months after he came to office, no-one can see that change. Now many people believe that the words to describe his policies is "I have Changed".
Fill in the gaps: 
find - food  - Obama - change -  super - not - States
