A 20-year-old video clip of Barack Obama hit YouTube on Thursday. The future president appeared on a televised “Black History Minutes” segment in 1991, the same year he graduated from Harvard law school.
The early video, originally broadcast by TBS as a public service announcement, may have been Obama’s first-ever appearance on national television.

Wow.
He's not the Messiah... he's a very naughty boy. And a horrible president.
And it came to pass, in the eighth year of the reign of the evil Bush the
Younger (The Ignorant), when the whole land from the Arabian desert to the
shores of the Great Lakes had been laid barren, that a Child appeared in the
wilderness.
The Child was blessed in looks and intellect. Scion of a simple family,
offspring of a miraculous union, grandson of a typical white person and an
African peasant. And yea, as he grew, the Child walked in the path of
righteousness, with only the occasional detour into the odd weed and a
little blow.
When he was twelve years old, they found him in the temple in the City of
Chicago, arguing the finer points of community organization with the Prophet
Jeremiah and the Elders. And the Elders were astonished at what they heard
and said among themselves: “Verily, who is this Child that he opens our
hearts and minds to the audacity of hope?”
I heard rumours yesterday that President Obama used to frequent the gay bathhouses in Chicago. Not that there is anything wrong with it, but I wonder if this will be confirmed. Possibly the GOP October surprise in 2012?
Thomas Sowell: There are no solutions, just trade-offs.
