Obama to give weekly Youtube presidential address

[sledgehammer]

This is great. I've never tuned in to the weekly radio address, but will sure as hell log on to the Internets to watch this every week. Can't wait to see what's next in bringing the presidency into the Internet age.

"President-elect Obama's office gave the media a new way to present him as Franklin Roosevelt 2.0 by announcing Friday that it will be posting weekly addresses - fireside chats for the web generation - on YouTube.

"The first address will appear on Change.gov this Saturday, after it airs in audio. An Obama spokesperson says that this innovation is just the beginning of the digital, transparent presidency."
