Was just reminded of this video, while looking at The Long Now. The Long Now Foundation was established in 01996 and hopes to provide counterpoint to today's "faster/cheaper" mind set and promote "slower/better" thinking.

Bit of a jump in logic now, but in a talk on TED Kirk Citron discussed his Long News project, looking at items of news that will "matter" in 50, 100, or 10000 years time; Obama's presidency was mentioned. Which reminded me of this video, heavily featured in No Agenda, in the morning! A few of the copies of this on YouTube have been taken down - due to a "terms of use violation". But of course!

"I will promise you this, that if we have not gotten our troops out by the time I am president, it is the first thing I will do. I will get our troops home. We will bring an end to this war. You can take that to the bank."
