This TIME article explains YouTube better than I can. Google YouTube and look for the Time article. It is a cultural phenomenon of 2006. I only know about this because I am part of a family of geeks.

I don't remember much about his administration, but i always thought he was an ok guy, the kind of fellow you'd enjoy sitting around on a porch with some lazy afternoon. Mrs. Ford is certainly holding up well, at least in front of the cameras.
