Ladies and Gentlemen - our President Elect's weekly broadcast
via UTube.

<snip>
President-elect Barack Obama plans to tape a weekly address not just for radio listeners, as presidents have for years, but for YouTube Internet viewers, too.

Well, what else would you expect from the first post-baby boom president?

Connecting the White House hearth to the American home, Franklin Roosevelt talked to the people through the radio, with crackling broadcasts delivered near a crackling fire. John F. Kennedy and Ronald Reagan mastered television. For Obama, who built a big part of his campaign on the Internet, it's YouTube.

Barack Obama :yourock:

4. Maybe he won't sound like he's reading as fast as he can like Bush
Who just wanted to get it over with so he could go do what he really wanted to do. Whatever idiotic mindless thing that was.
