Obama, the new Roosevelt?
Time for some cozy Youtube Fireside Chats!
Franklin Delano Roosevelt had his fireside chats, Richard Nixon had hours and hours of taped administration discussions, and George W. Bush domestic spying initiatives. Every president has his own way of introducing his own concept of transparency into the White House.
But only Barack Obama's will be going head to head with the newest Katy Perry video...
President-elect Obama's office gave the media a new way to present him as Franklin Roosevelt 2.0 by announcing Friday that it will be posting weekly addresses -- fireside chats for the web generation - on YouTube.
The first address will appear on Change.gov this Saturday, after it airs in audio. An Obama spokesperson says that this innovation is just the beginning of the digital, transparent presidency.
