from a comment at YouTube: “It would be nice to see the President (use this medium). Most of the people iI know didnt even bother to watch his state of the union. Why sit thro hours of being lied to when the news will cover the highlights. Not to mention other talk shows will be taking aim at the speech. Video games and tv have become interactive even our phones. Why cant the rest of the world catch up? That is a very good question. Communication has evolved why not learning”
