Our president elect knows what YouTube is!

President elect Obama gave the first of what will be a weekly address via YouTube this weekend. What did you think of his speech, and what do you think of this idea?

Two extra credit points for the first person who comments with an answer to the following:
1. What other President became famous for giving weekly addresses?
2. What form of technology did this president first use to give these addresses?

I think that both his speech and this idea are amazing. I automatically assumed that I would have to hear the speech many times because he would be speaking in difficult-to-understand political terms. However, the speech was clear, precise, and easy to understand.

The weekly address shows how Obama's past references to change are going to be followed out to their fullest extent. He wants the American people to be able to access him and be able to understand what he's saying. Through the weekly speeches in a commonly used domain, Obama becomes more human to the U.S. - which is extensively required in this time where a politicians move can greatly affect many jobs and lives.

1. Franklin D. Roosevelt
2. The Radio

well i think just starting off putting in a weekly address is great. it shows us that he is not afraid to speak and let his speeches be seen by millions. his ideas are positive ones that will definately benefit the economy. for example making the middle class stronger. it's good to see that he is not dependent of congress. he mentions how if congress doesnt pass a bill that will help our unemployemnt crisis then it will be his first executive action that he will take. his ideas and his speech were outstainding.

I think Obama makes good speeches. But I like it when he talks based on the economic crisis. Because I really do want to see changes. I think is something we all want to see to have better lives and future. Obama always thing positive example changes in creating new jobs,less taxes,education,health and the economy for everyone I think he is most concern of this ideas. He shows many interest he mention that he wants to change the planet and is able to work hard. He really shows that he really wanted to be the next president and he accomplished it. He has shows his talents to the public and proved that he is smart person and capable for a change next year.

I think that Obama is an extraordinary man and he is very positive. He makes me feel like I can make it in life, and that this country will truly soon be moving forward. He is very postitive, yet straight forward and wants to get things done. He is amazing! I think it is awesome that he is on YOUTUBE, because he is not only reaching out to adults, he is reaching out to people like me! I can watch my president on YOUTUBE, how awesome is that! Next thing you know, hes going to be on MTV. That will be the day.
