Barack Obama, then a presidential candidate, presents his innovation agenda at Google and takes questions from Eric Schmidt and employees in November 2007.
Referenced for his answers on technology policy and the famous bubble sort question, and for comparing politics then and later.

Let me guess, you want to recreate the infamous Steve Balmer "Developers" music video with Obama? I'd say your best bet (though I haven't looked) is the his Google visit: [VIDEO]
Skimmed the YouTube video of his google talk to find when he answered the bubble sort question - it's at @23:16 ( [VIDEO] ) Did we expect him to answer like a prospective google hire? A modified quick sort thats guarded not to recurse too many levels deep to avoid any stack overflow errors? I'm impressed that he made an effort to connect at the techie-level. I think the intent of the tech-savvy staffers who briefed him was like when a comedian makes a reference to the Yankees while performing in NYC
Does anyone not remember the candidates' interviews at Google? [VIDEO] The Barack Obama one was likely the most viewed, as he was relatively unknown then. Interesting the answers he gave and the state of politics and regulation 8+ years afterwards.
