From Fireside Chat to weekly radio address, and now to Youtube. I imagine this 21st century update won’t surprise anyone, considering the “net-savviness” the Obama team showed during the campaign. One thing is for sure though, this presidency is likely to set the bar in its use of communications technologies and innovations. And here’s the video itself.

    not to be alarming but do I hear sirens in the background around the 1:05 mark?

    Good ears. I hadn’t noticed before, but on close examination I hear sirens from about 0:30 - 1:15. I’m guessing this was filmed at his Chicago transition office and not in a professional studio.
