Obama Speech Reaches Most-Viewed Status on YouTube!

[RazBerryBeret]

Barack Obama's Philadephia speech on race, posted on the senator's own YouTube channel, has been viewed more than 1.2 million times in less than 24 hours.

and I read that the counters don't count the view unless it is watched from beginning to end...that means 1.6 million people (just checked the views!) watched the whole 37 minutes!
What a testament to a Great Speech!!!

He is making some great lemonade out of these lemons.

4. I'm glad to see this.

We might just be turning the corner in this country. Looks like people are taking the time to actually view this thing. I hope these people can become the citizen opinion leaders we need out there to counter the hate coming from radio and Fox.

9. Let's hope!!!

maybe people view it because of what they've heard on faux news...but hey, if they listen to all of it, they must like what they hear, right?

8. YouTube is proving to be a real force in politics

Not everybody was home at 10:30 in the morning to see Obama's speech. By the same token, not everyone was in Virginia for George Allen's macaca moment. YouTube seems to be really shaking things up and changing the way campaigns get their message out there... for better or worse.

11. Yes! I had to

listen to it @ work, itunes--CSPAN radio! but again, Obama's team is totally using every vehicle to their advantage--a different kind of politics!
from the washington post: "More than any other remaining presidential candidate, Obama has taken full advantage of his YouTube channel to directly reach his supporters"

10. I tell you it was the swing vote the Republicans and Independents that ran it up!!!

Oh, and it doesn't count (of course)

[RazBerryBeret]

13. I'm sure---you know

those guys had to watch it to see what all the fuss was about! and then spread the word!

[slinkerwink]

12. great news!

[DerekJ]

14. my bet is 5 to 6 million within a month N/T

[RazBerryBeret]

16. that would be

fantastic!
