Rev. Gilbert H. Caldwell: Words Matter
PHOTO: Can You Spot An Obama?
By Alexis Garrett Stodghill, BlackVoices.com
President-Elect Barack Obama has begun his weekly Internet YouTube addresses in a style reminiscent of the fireside chats that helped make President Franklin D. Roosevelt so lovable. Unfortunately, Barack with his frank and open speeches faces stiffer competition in today's media-saturated environment than Franklin did.
In this Funny or Die spoof of Obama's attempt to personally relate to the masses, a satirical version of our next president uses proven viral video tactics to attract and retain viewers.
Are you watching President-Elect Barack Obama's Internet addresses? If so, what do you think? If not, why?
