Reply #9: Stupid Presidents

[Britethorn]

Well, if you look at the current resident of the White House you don't have to think twice about the answer to that question. The problem here, really, is that YouTube and internet videos are still very, very new forms of communication and the rules for behavior are still being worked out. The really cool thing is that the average guy now has a very powerful and easily obtained soapbox upon which to address the candidates and current office holders. But we still have to try and make sure that the people many of these videos are ultimately aimed at are actually listening to what's being said. It's too late for George W. Bush. It may be too late for Hillary Clinton (to learn to actually start to listen) but younger candidates like Obama might actually start to pay attention to this platform in the days ahead -- or not. Got to wait and see how it all shakes out.
