When we think about vlogs, we usually think about funny things. There are some real serious vlogs exist too. For example, White House YouTube Vlog. Yes, it is the official White House Vlog.
As you might recognize, after Barrack Obama was elected as the president, he started making his office as transparent as it can be. He used Facebook and YouTube in his election campaign, and he continued using both of them after he was elected.
I speak as a foreigner, I think it's a great privilege for American citizens to be able to watch your government on YouTube minute to minute. You cannot miss press conferences. You can be aware of what's going on in the country. I am kind of jealous not to have this kind of a privilege in my country.
The video below is one of the videos on White House vlog, President Obama's first overseas visit to Europe, and to my country, Turkey. I think you might find some information about Turkey from the own words of U.S. President. It was one of the most influential rhetorical speeches a U.S. President ever gave in Turkey.
President Obama speaks to US-Turkish relations in his address to the Turkish Grand National Assembly in Ankara, Turkey on April 6, 2009. He discusses the progress of Turkey's own democratic reforms, and reaffirms US support of the Turkey's bid to become a member of the European Union.
