Address Before a Joint Session of Congress (February 24, 2009) Barack Obama edit

This was not an official State of the Union address. The speech was delivered on the floor of the chamber of the United States House of Representatives in the United States Capitol in a joint session of the United States Congress. President Obama discussed the recently passed $787 billion American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 as well as the Troubled Assets Relief Program, the state of the economy, and the future of the country as it emerged from the Late-2000s financial crisis.

  • Comments WP:FS?#4: The FSC caption is insufficient. Tell us something interesting about the audio, what significance it has etc, otherwise you'll be hard pressed to get anyone interested in it. FS?#5: The file descriptions are pretty weak. "Barack Obama Address before a Joint session of Congress" doesn't tell us anything more than the file name. Try to give more details, such as what a joint session of Congress is, what some of the themes are in the speech. Are there any details on when or where it was recorded? Have any edits been made to the files to remove pops or clicks, to reduce audience applause and other background noise? Transcripts would be good, even though the aren't required by the FS?. If these audio files "contribute significantly", then will the deaf and hard of hearing have trouble understanding the topic of the article without the transcripts?
