Once again Barack Obama is showing signs of change. This one I can definitely get on board with. Fireside chats, something that every president does once a week since FDR, and have since been put on the radio, has said that he will put his firesides on YouTube.
What a great idea! Informing and leading the general public from a medium that most Americans have access to. I always wondered why previous presidents didn’t put their weekly address, on the television. I’m not talking about press conferences. I’m talking about some sort of weekly address that speaks honestly to the nation.
Maybe they have previously done this on tv. But I haven’t noticed it. YouTube is such a brilliant idea. I’m not sure how it’s comment feature for such showings will go. I can only imagine the comment battles that will go on. Maybe you’ll be limited or maybe they’ll close the comments.
Either way, it’s great to see government coming into the new age. Maybe he can spread the thoughts to other forms of government and we can stop wasting so much money…
This is good news. Also, I heard that Obama is the first President that doing blogging. In my country, our Ex-President does the blogging. Good to hear that the new leader is bringing some changes.
Yeah it’ll be interesting. Also heard that he is on twitter. As blogging has done for so many top executives, it will make Obama, and the presidency seem less like a removed privileged position of power and more like someone for the people by the people.
ya its good news to us.
