Obama’s First Weekly YouTube Address
President-elect Barack Obama has started posting weekly video addresses on YouTube. As president, Obama will will deliver both the traditional weekly radio address and a weekly YouTube address. The “weekly fireside coffee talks” are a throwback to FDR, who delivered 30 evening radio addresses between 1933 and 1944 (Wikipedia: Fireside chats).
I think the weekly YouTube address will have a much larger audience than the radio address. The radio address is also available as a podcast (iTunes: The President’s Weekly Radio Address).
Here’s the first YouTube address by President-elect Barack Obama (interestingly enough, comments are closed for the video):
