Obama to YouTube weekly Dem address

Raw Story:

US president-elect Barack Obama is to make the first YouTube address to the nation on Saturday, recording a talk not just on radio but also on video, a spokesman said Friday.

"President-elect Obama will record the Weekly Democratic Radio Address on video and radio," spokesman Nick Shapiro said.

"The address will be turned into a YouTube video which we will post on www.change.gov," the official website of the Obama transition team, he said.

"No president-elect or president has ever turned the radio address into a multi-media opportunity before," Shapiro added.

"This is just one of many ways that president-elect Obama will communicate directly with the American people and make the White House and the political process more transparent," he said.
