They used the Hall of Presidents version of Obama for this video.

Countdown to almo one-starring this.

Five.

Four.

Three.

Two.

Wow. I really wanted to stand on my chair during this and yell "CHANGE! CHANGE IS COMING EVERYBODY!!" but I was bored to tears by this. Stars for an authority figure embracing the future and all but seriously dude, at least change the badly green-screened background to like outer space or a fly CG crib or something.

This is almost as exciting to me as it was when Hitler offered me freeways!

I can see him aging already

Okay, we get it, Depression Era president, fireside chats for the 21st century, etc.

I never thought the words "government transparency" would make me so swoony.

The weird thing about this is that it's the first time you can really see him reading from a teleprompter/card.

The President's Weekly Address? What kinda commie shit is that?

I like the fact that commenting is turned on, on Youtube. Do the Senators now all have their own Youtube accounts and favorite Obama or friend him? Do they give shout outs?

It's like a shopping list that Bush lost, then when he couldn't remember he decided to grab an economy sized clusterfuck war instead.

Can you imagine what the country would like if we'd been doing this over the past eight years instead of fighting over there?

Five stars because this looks like having a conversation with a Fallout 2 NPC

Dear Diary,

I met a girl in the Lincoln Bedroom. I hope she likes me! The Vice President keeps telling me to read these President's daily briefing. BORING.

Why'd you make an order to close Club Gitmo in your first week? Did you miss your friends?

This is a fucking AWESOME idea.

I don't understand the thing about weatherizing actual people's homes. Is he gonna rip out my drywall and insulate all the places that shitty rehabbers didn't? because this saran wrap on my windows isn't doing shit.

What the hell? Why the green screen? They don't have an actual official looking government office SOMEWHERE in the whitehouse?

Guess they couldn't afford a camera mounted prompter either.

ATTENTION PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES WHO DO NOT HATE ME..

That man is an android.

I've got to admit that I'm excited about these firefox chats.

I'm also skeptical. For all of the hope that he's inspired in me, can he really get the wheels of DC moving to bring about this much needed change? How much resistance will he meet?

wow i liked him alot more when he was running for President.....now it seems he's a robot like the rest of 'em!!!

I don't understand when my Commander in Chief speaks in complete sentences.
