Okay, am I the last idiot to notice this linking business on Obama ads???

Last night, I was watching Colbert on the Dish Network DVR, and an Obama add comes on. In the upper right corner there's a little something that says "Press 'Select' to view Obama's plan".

I said "WTF is that?" so I clicked "Select" on the remote, and, even though I was watching a recorded version, it took me to Obama's channel where he's playing the infomercials.

I know, this is probably old, old old, but it's the first time I've ever actually seen it, and I gotta say it's AWESOME!!!!

He needs more stuff on that channel, though. It was only about 20 minutes before it started repeating and I went back to Colbert.

4. wow! that's cool

I've never seen it. I'm impressed with the way this campaign is utilizing new technology. They came out with an iPhone app a week or two ago that was pretty impressive to me and I don't even have an iPhone.

5. I Tried Selecting But It Wouldn't Do Anything

Did you use your Dish controller?

It may have been because I was watching the TiVo recording. What channel?
