      Zoeamaster - I totally agree. Usually the Washington Post has excellent technical quality. I have no idea way they screwed this one up so badly. It's a stupid idea to put a sound track over voices anyhow. Can you imagine taking a class where the teacher had to compete with a soundtrack? I think some people think because you can add a soundtrack, you should add one instead of asking whether it adds value to the video.
      When you have to stop watching a video because the technical quality is so poor, it makes you appreciate the professionalism of others.

    That was the worst presentation ever, loud music drowned out all of what Obama said, then the facts went very quickly and the graphs were largely un-labeled, meaning that if you paused the video you didn't know what you were looking at; had to slow down the video to 75% and listen carefully to hear what the presenter said they were about to show, then pause the video to read the graphs. The presenter spoke too fast and slurred her words. Also, I've watched a lot of these and they slip in things like saying that the stock market is now doing better than global markets, what does that mean, why is that, is mad man Trump actually having a positive effect, this is the most fascinating thing and they just skip right past it because they are liberals and they don't want to admit that anything is better because of Trump. However I think that if they examined this more closely they would discover why this is so. (I think it was/is largely a bubble caused by Trumps tax cuts that will soon burst leaving destruction in it's path; but I would like to know more, obviously.)

      Economic impact always has inertia. The markets react quickly because they’re people speculating on what will happen in the economy. It happens quickly but matters relatively little, because it’s just assumptions by speculators.
      The important things, like the underemployment rate and GDP growth, have already begun to slump. We’re supposed to be in the “good years” and making money hand over fist. Trump can fail while not necessarily losing out- trump can fail by being mediocre. By contrast, Obama came in at the absolute lowest point in many many decades, and helped us claw our way back up to stability. Comparing them is folly from the start.

    I am not an American but follows foreign news. Overtime, I have seen that Washington Post is not a balanced news provider. Anyone interested in a balanced report (not the left-wing and rightwing views)) should listen to other contrasting reports before taking a position

    Virtually unwatchable with the annoying music covering the voices of the presidents.

    You should re upload the video with the music quieter! But overall good job!

    Is there a reason that background music is louder than the people speaking?

    I have a feeling that this RUclips channel is NOT associated with the Washington Post we think.
    Look at the page links in the description.

    I clicked the video hoping to listen to some relaxing xylophone music, turns out I think it is 2 people very softly arguing in the background while the music plays.. not nice WaPo
