• Oppose - I dislike the White House logo in the introduction and conclusion (these can obviously be cut out). Also, the video bounces throughout most of its length, which is annoying. I'd prefer a version from the front. Many videos were taken from the front at greater zoom. They may not be free, but they are better quality than this, which is another reason why I oppose. ~ ωαdεstεr16_«talk^stalk» 06:09, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
  • Comment Wikipedia has been known to feature public domain images when a preferable version is under copyright. For instance this video of Iwo Jima, even though it lacks the iconic status of Joe Rosenthal's Associated Press photo. Durova^Charge! 06:44, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
    • That said, the video still jostles through most of the speech. Maybe run it through some stabilization first? ~ ωαdεstεr16_«talk^stalk» 15:24, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
      • If I had the software. Any volunteers? Durova^Charge! 03:32, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
• Comment I'd also like to see the "titlecards" edited out. They're very distracting and not necessary. Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email) 03:46, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
