AP:

When the CEO of Google turned the microphone over to his employees after Barack Obama discussed his tech agenda, one worker who said he had voted for several losing Democratic presidential candidates got right to the point.

"I'm tired of losing," he said to laughter, adding that he wanted to know whether Obama would demonstrate the political acumen of former President Clinton or the comparative weakness of former Vice President Al Gore and Sen. John Kerry.

"What have you learned from Clinton that is going to make you win?" the man asked. "What have you learned from Gore and Kerry and all those guys that you're going to avoid, so that history doesn't recur?"

I highly encourage anyone curious about Obama to watch his speech and Q&A from today during his visit to Google:

He gives a brief speech about technology and government and then takes questions for about 45 minutes - the video lets you see how he thinks and what he offers as president.

It's nice to see candidates in their own words, without media distortion and without forcing them into 30-second sound bites.
