CBS's 60 Minutes just featured President-Elect Obama and our future first lady, Michele Obama, in their first interview since winning the election. Watching them speak to Steve Kroft like they were in our living room just left me with a sense of hope and a great excitement to be an American.
Yesterday, President-Elect Obama featured his first weekly address which was released as a web video. It will also continue to air on the radio but will now utilize YouTube as the means to distribute the video and to communicate with the American public by. It will also be available of AOL, Yahoo! and MSN. President-elect Obama plans to publish these weekly updates through the transition process and then continue them from the White House.
The first address from President-elect was short and addresses the concerns of the current economic crisis. Check it out here:
You can also access this video through the website, www.change.gov. Unfortunately comments have been disabled on the YouTube page. I have no idea if this will change in the future, but I would guess that there would be so many comments that it would be impossible to keep up with them.
We have much to do in these trying times but social media is helping us to join together and communicate as one. I wouldn't want to be any place else in time but right here right now.
