Discuss president-elect Barack Obama's radio/Youtube address (November 15, 2008)

Our beloved president-elect Barack Obama is offering his new weekly speech not just as a radio address but also as an online video: youtube.com/watch?v=Zd8f9Zqap6U (also available at AOL, MSN, and Yahoo).

On Youtube at least, almost every form of interaction is disabled: no ratings, comments, or video replies are allowed. The only sign of the outside world are the "sites linking to this video", which includes change.gov, the HuffPost, the NYT, Politico, and USA Today. In order to get on that list, you'd have to send several hundred clicks to the video.

However, if you'd like to leave your thoughts on his video, someone has uploaded a copy here with comments enabled in order "to allow open discussion among the YouTube community." That's the video to the right.

Oddly enough, there don't appear to be any non-joke answer videos, not even from rightwing news sources or organizations. Of course, that might be because, as the script shows, he continues not really saying anything:

KBA you are so right, this bitch is so owned and will do so much evil inside the house of shit its a joke. Hey people just wait and see what comes next, obama the foreign bitch want's one million dollars for each black that may have had some distant ancestor who may or may not have been inside the slavery system and many people do not know that 60 percent of all blacks inside the USA Happen not to have been inside that evil system and many balck came and lived inside the USA 20 years after the civil war, but what the hell Obama will fixs us all. Obama the one world guy for political and race comprehensive justice or not? needs his own people to keep power and do evil to you. Buy Guns make friends and become a free people once more or become a bitch inside a prison nation.

Barak Obama, our first boy president.

Preaching to the YouTube choir.

"Oddly enough, there don't appear to be any non-joke answer videos, not even from rightwing news sources or organizations." Oddly enough, perhaps it's because he talks about action and moving forward instead of joking and shitting around.

Oh my God, you guys are right. All he does in this video is direct our nation's legislators, who are empowered by the Constitution to enact law, to do so, and promises that if they do not do so on his own that he will use the executive power which will be invested in him on January 20th to encourage them to do so. What a waste! Never mind that he's not in office yet. We're talking about a guy with a PERSONAL ARMY OF THUGS and the power to compel the state of Hawaii and courts all over the country to perpetrate a massive fraud on his behalf! A man who can commit hypnotism and mind control through speeches! Instead of asking Congress to take action, he should be hip-mo-tizin' them and threatening to have his Kenyan relatives (the ones he threw under a bus) declare jihad on the strong-willed ones to make them act now! Come, President Hussein! Since we know all know you're an extra-constitutional dictator commu-islamo-fascist (from the branch of Islam that likes gay marriage and abortion, naturally!) you might as well stop hiding your dark powers and start using them! (Am I doing it right, guys?)

Hey in "Hood Company"..... Why dont you come back in 4 years after your mama obama has had a chance to prove himself. The only thing he has proven is that he is good at using his soup coolers.

I see a Pres. Carter in black face when it comes to obama. All talk and no action
