The President of the United States on YouTube to communicate with the country of Iran? From a social networking, web video and "We really are going to do things different in a transparent kind of way" I am stunned. In a good way.
He rocked me when the students of an Orange County (CA)school made a YouTube video about their lives and not only did he see it he came to meet with the teenagers last week. I'm not quite an old timer but damn, never saw this coming in my life, a POTUS using YouTube for diplomacy. He is breaking so many firsts I can't keep up with him. He's got to pace himself. He's wearing my tear ducts out and it ain't even three good months.
