CQ's Eric Pfeiffer points to a YouTube clip of President George W. Bush speaking at a fundraiser for Republican Congressional candidate Pete Olson.
In the clip, POTUS talks about the housing market, saying "...Wall Street got drunk [points to camera crew noting, 'one reason I asked you to turn off your TV cameras']. It got drunk and now it has a hangover. The question in how long will it sober up..."
The clip isn't particularly newsworthy. It's not a "macaca" moment. But the clip is indicative of the changing times and how even at "high-dollar" fundraisers -- candidates and public officials need to realize that they may be among friends, but they could also be among people with a YouTube channel and a camera on their cell phone.
