    The video's been blocked now... just me? Probably not. They are hard core about Ed solo vids!

    For those who missed the video before it was pulled, it was really a nice story from Ed. Had no idea Ed and Obama were friends. After introducing the President, Obama said he had never heard Ed share that story before. after commenting on the performance and the quotes that were in the pool report Obama said he's thankful for Ed's support and friendship over the years. Pretty cool for our boy Ed.

    Yes, it opened but it was very jumpy. Thanks for posting! :D
    I don't know if that was my computer or not, I even let it load for quite a while.

    I thought I heard people talking in the background. :nono:
    What's up with paying $20,000 and being so rude as to talk while Ed is singing?
