I see what Obama's going for with these weekly addresses to the nation through youtube, but do you think they're effective? Taking into account the medium, I guess that youtube just seems somewhat less presidential to me than the radio addresses of FDR's time. Is this an issue that Internet video is going to have to deal with in the future? Is there a sense of gravitas present in other mediums that it's lacking or is that just me?

Obama's Weekly Address
