This has nothing to do with copying Obama. Nothing at all. SF Gate totally didn't embargo this story until after Obama's first couple of addresses got good reviews.

for a good laugh, click on the link above and fast forward his hand movements. He should have sat at a desk with them tied behind his back.

My slow (and cheap) DSL line likes YouTube video streams a lot more than whatever is used for SFGTV. (shrug)

too dumb to be governor. who would watch a Youtube of him that long? Time to SOLVE the problems and not just talk about them for hours.

Uh, I wonder if Gavin didn't know that sfgtv has been putting these videos online since 2004. http://www.sfgov.org/site/sfgtv_index.asp?id=31874

They're really trying to sell Mayor Gavin as this "tech savvy" guy, but having a Facebook Page and a You Tube account is something any teenager can do. It doesn't hurt that both girls and boys just adore Mayor McDreamy, so he's an easy sell online. Meanwhile MUNI's burning and crime is up. But hey! Mayor McDreamy is on The Internets! YayyyYy!

Disabling comments is lame.

Ahhh yes, the neo-con artist's tool....Youtube. Now if only he had a professional videographer that knew about white-point and simple, basic lighting that's flattering, then this might be worth watching. If for no other reason the hilarity of the thing. Dimes to donuts these were converted from pro-Beta--speaking volumes on how tech savvy he really is.

They were finished up last Monday night at 1am (not your fault for the confusion- that sentence in the Chronicle was oddly written) The Department of Technology is the organization that SFGTV is part of.
