A President Gone Viral

By Chad Quandt · Monday, Nov. 17,2008 8:25 p.m.

On Nov. 14, President-elect Barack Obama uploaded his first weekly address to YouTube. While he won’t take office for a few months, Obama addressed his hope that Congress will provide aid to those suffering from the economic crisis. He also went so far as to say that if the problem is still there when he took office, it will be his first priority. The video strikes up an immediate comparison to Roosevelt’s fireside chats in the 1930s. While I doubt families will huddle around the computer with warm cups of cocoa to watch, it is an excellent move on Obama’s part.

First, you will be protected from the vast majority of terrorist attacks. Security officials from both the United States and Europe are warning of a “spectacular” attack during the upcoming presidential transition period. Bombs, anthrax and airplanes – none of these are effective against an underground steel box.
