Video of Obama on Wilson, making connections

Obama in New Hampshire 2007Huh, Andrew Sullivan at The Daily Dish, one of the Atlantic Monthly‘s blogs, has posted this video of Barack Obama first hearing the Libby news, while giving a speech in New Hampshire. (The video is after the jump).

On hearing the news (did he really hear it right that moment? I’m unclear), Obama immediately makes the connection between the Genarlow Wilson sentence and the Libby commutation.

This is the same connection Obama would go on to use in a speech he has given in a variety of venues, which I mentioned in an earlier post.

And here are some details on the speech the comments above eventually morphed into, and which I discuss further in a previous post, “Obama on Scooter Libby and Genarlow Wilson“:
