Doesn't that seem odd that our whitehouse website is not hosted in the U.S.?

Anyway, the daily press brifing video is there now for those that want it.

1. how did you determine that?
It looks like it's using akamai, which has a broadly distributed array of mirror sites.

2. That's not true.
It is hosted in Virginia. By FEMA. Along with barney.gov.
