Former and in-service Presidents of United States have appeared in various public interest campaigns in the past. But President elect Barack Obama is all set to appear in a national print ad before taking office on Jan 20. This is one campaign that cannot wait that long.

January is observed as a National Month of Mentoring in United States. Future President Obama will send an important message on the occasion along with his popular promise of change. The print ad with Obama’s message on the need of mentoring a child is being produced on behalf of Servicenation.org.

Is this another move to cash on his present popularity and an attempt to ride on Obamamania that is sweeping the nation? Well, the cause and message both are important. To bring in any change it is important to become agent of that change. What better way than becoming a mentor of a child and building bridges between haves and have-nots? The timing of the campaign and choice of Future President with his promise of better future seems to be perfect. This seems to be continuity of Barack Obama’s campaign. A subtle difference is that is a social campaign and not an election campaign!
