Nope. Never could get it to work. Lots of chattering and then nothing.

Hee! I love this comment.

I had the same problem. I'll try it from the WH site.

I'm gonna run off some copies of that graph, fold 'em into paper airplanes, and float 'em into groups of people who look old enough to vote.

God, I love it when a plan comes together.

Worked for me an hour ago.

In reply to Dayum . . . That video is

Looks like it's been around for a few weeks. I figured maybe I'd just missed it as I'm technically on a self-imposed blog restriction (which I am totally fudging on at this moment) ... wasn't even sure if I should post something that old in this age of instant information.

The original site where I found the vid lamented nobody was talking about it, so I figured it was worth giving a bump. Glad it was useful to some folks.

It worked fine for me from here, kgb. But that was this afternoon.

Hmmm strange that it only goes part way through - usually this sort of thing works or doesn't. The "embed" box didn't work when I was creating the post, so I coded it manually, but the vid should be streaming from the WH servers.

Stardust put a direct link to the WH site upthread ....

http://www.whitehouse.gov/whiteboard

Try it from their site, see if that works.

kgb:

I've tried to see this video three times now and, although it starts, it stops at about 30 seconds and goes no further.

This is not a complaint -- I'm interested in this, which I have seen highlighted no where else.

Can you reload it?

I like the real time effect.

I like the real time effect. But pointing at a big red circle is too abstract. I'd rather he took his chalk and wrote an example on the board.

Start by saying: Think of Mike Millionaire. He earns

$1,000,000

Then says and his taxes before Bush used to be

300,000*

Then Bush cut them to 189,000

Obama thinks they should be 250,000

Provided it's not much longer than that the audience would stay with it. They'd be waiting to see what he wrote next.

* these are all made up numbers, just to illustrate the approach.
