Note that over his left shoulder are the Presidential Papers of John F Kennedy

Note that the Transition wouldn't allow people to make comments on the video. Glad to see them trying to new and different things. Wish they would respect the idea that these social tools are meant to create conversations, not just serve as another broadcast medium.

I hope Obama looks at california as a poor example of the mismanagement of the tax payers money..In Ca. I am employed as a registered nurse at High Desert State Prison.. Please get the Federal Government out out the prison system.. Since the Federal Government took over the Medical part of the prison system , We have wasted millions of tax payer dollars on Ca. inmates.. Please let the public know that Ca. gives the best health care to their inmates..Meanwhile , our Veterans and elderly suffer.. I would seriously, consider committiting a crime if I was diagioused with cancer tommorow.. My insurance as a state employee would only pay eighty percent of my medical bills...Come one America We need to take away the inmates right to sue over Health care... Th e staff runs scared so we fly every question to Reno Neveda all because of the fear of law suits... This is crazy!!! Comne one take the inmates right to sue away and save millions of dollars in the state of California.......Something is seriously wrong with a society who gives better health care to our inmates than to the elderly, the young, and the vets...;..I am speaking as a liberal Democrat.. please change our health care system
