I read an article early this AM that Obama gave a stirring speech last night in Iowa. The article said that it was the closest he has come to recapturing the magic of the speech he delivered four years ago at the convention. Naturally, I wanted to watch. Sure enough, there on youtube, was the video. This is the promise of the future. And this is what the media is babbling about when they talk about campaigns using YouTube (his campaign uploaded it). Oh, and he’s quite good. See below.

BTW, this is also why I said even then, that Google made a smart buy. $1.65 billion for a company that wasn’t making money? A smart deal? That’s because YouTube has an incredible brand name. It’s synonymous with online video. And thats what it is…a network. And a few billion for the Net’s first Network? Not bad…
