Obama has made a name for himself as the most media-savvy president in history. He has also earned his reputation for his ability to deliver a message with clarity and impact. Obama further cemented his reputation last week beginning his first in a series of weekly TV addresses, available on whitehouse.gov to view as an embedded youtube video, or as an mp4 download in full 1280×720 high definition wonder, so web audiences worldwide can now receive the leader of the free world’s message fully and clearly, with each freckle, creeping stubble, errant eyebrow and stray hair for the world to see.

I wasn’t surprised when this week, the weekly address was posted at a slightly more modest resolution of 720×404, and changes in the lighting. The president was looking like he could use some sleep… understandably, with the mess he has to deal with, but it makes one wonder if he got his implant yet. No news of falling down after choking on a prezel yet, but we’ll stay tuned. For now, one thing is certain, Obama’s media team and make-up artists are hard at work.
