Logical Thoughts

The Iowa caucus is officially over and the winners were Barack Obama and Mike Huckabee. The democratic race was close and the polls were leaning towards Obama, but Huckabee came from way back being outspent in the state nearly 20 to 1 by Mitt Romney. This will increase the political battle and the attack ads will certainly heat up. Obama in reports has always stated that becoming President was not a life long goal, but thanks to aggressive journalism a paper that was written by Obama in kindergarten contradicts this point.

Watch this comedy from Freddy Lockhart as he plays a Obama in the 1970’s on his wishes for the Presidency. This video portrays Obama as a college kid on mushrooms who accidentally finds the internet through his TV and the site called YouTube. The impersonation is very good and is sure to raise some interest from the political candidates. Please note that because some of the content you must be over 18 to view this video.

No longer are gold and silver credit cards the thing to have. In an effort to offer consumers a reason to switch credit card companies, banks are finding new ways to pimp their cards. One company is getting ready to launch a “scratch and sniff” card that will smell like coffee or one of as many 90 smells. A company that makes the plastic cards, has prototypes for prospective banks that will have the fuzzy feel of a tennis ball, or the feel of a football. If banks can get consumers to use their cards, it is a win for them., There are so many choices and most consumers only switch cards every 3-5 years.

American Express is looking to roll out a Titanium credit card for their Centurion customers. These are customers they charge in excess of $250,000 per year. It is all about the prestige and the recognition factor. Who wouldn’t want to pull out a card to pay for those new jeans that looks like a tennis ball.

Your thoughts on Credit cards.
