Obama reads "Where The Wild Things Are"

I hope I'm the first person to have done this. This is President Barack Obama reading "Where The Wild Things Are" by Maurice Sendak to children on Easter 2009, accompanied by the images of the book and the song "Plym" by Jaga Jazzist. I hope you enjoy it.

I highly recommend you view it using the "High Quality" feature.

This story had a much better ending than the last time George Bush read a story to children.

@KuromiCupcake of course Obama can read to kids, he has two of his own!

Obama is such a better story teller then Bush. He interacts with the children and makes them laugh. LOL and I like the guy in the end yelling "YOUR THE BEST OBAMA!!" so very true...

Obama's just the awesome.

Great video. The music was a nice touch. I love that song. And it complemented Mr. Obama splendidly.

Nice, I finally got to "read" the story for myself. I have never even heard of it when the movie came :)
