A YouTube Presidency…

President-elect Barack Obama delivered the Weekly Democratic Radio Address this morning – on YouTube.

Several blogs commented on the fact that the coming Obama Administration looks set to use social media tools pretty regularly.

The Inquisitr pointed out, correctly, that no one ever hears the radio addresses that Presidents have done in the past – except when they are included in news clips. On YouTube people might actually listen to them.

TechCrunch thinks that seeing Obama use YouTube is only right considering that 1800 YouTube videos of him got watched 110 million times leading up to his election.

Wired Blog Network had this to say:

Expect many more such "enhancements" in the weeks and months to come as Obama makes use of the tools he did during the 2008 campaign, such as Twitter and text-messaging to build a direct relationship with the people of America, and the rest of the world.
