Obama's speech last Sunday is dominating YouTube

Commentary later, from The Nation;

Great speeches don't matter if no one hears them. Barack Obama delivered a riveting speech about America's moral crisis this weekend, calling for a united movement to overcome the nation's moral deficit and mounting economic inequalities. Political observers praised the address, the reporters covered it--53 mentions in major papers--yet it's been largely overshadowed by the escalating fight between Obama and the Clinton's... But it turns out the public found Obama's speech anyway...While cable news shows gorge on campaign sparring, Obama's uplifting speech is absolutely dominating YouTube. The 34-minute address from Ebenezer Baptist Church is currently the fourth most viewed video in the world on YouTube, trailing two Britney Spears clips. Not only is that unusual traffic for a long political address – people also like it. On Tuesday, viewers voted it the second most "favorited" video in the world.

 

The article is titled apply enough "Hope will not be televised:Obama YouTube V.S. Clinton clash..." This is wonderful news, kinda restores some faith in Democracy, that people would download and watch a 34 minute speech. Perhaps the internet will save our democracy yet.

But we had best get Obama into the WH, because judging by their current behavior, I don't think the Clinton's can be entirely trusted not to try to get more control over the afore mentioned "tubes". Not after the "big sister" video, and now this.

We need to download the video too, lets keep growing this thing. Hopefully the MSM will pick this story up soon... maybe some networks might decide to re-broadcast it if the speech keeps performing this well.
