Have you guys noticed that Barack Obama's Channel Views out number Hillary's 12 to 1?

Obama's Channel has over 12,175,000 views.

Hillary's Channel only has about 1,380,000 views.

Does anyone know why? How does Obama have so many views!?

And it's still going up very fast! It was only 12,162,000 yesterday! WTF!

Don't worry, I was just joking in the first place. A 'unique user' is a completely different person at a different computer for each view. For example, 5 views can only account for five different people, not the same person refreshing the page four times.

oh so he cant be refreshing...

what if he has many computers with many tabs open? he might have the "reload-every" add on for firefox that refreshes all the tabs every second!

People already know who Hillary is and what she stands for...Obama is less known so it's natural that more people would watch his videos.

On top of the fact that he has had some viral stuff like "yes we can."

The views are accounted by IP address, not by the number of tabs you have open. I think Obama has better things to do than personally boost his YouTube account views... others might be doing it for him though. :P

lol maybe

I'm worried about obama. To put in layman's terms: He can talk the talk but can he really walk the walk? As he's a great public speaker and he has all these great plans but can he really successfully instigate them when he's in office?

Obama is popular with the young people cause he supports you no matter who you are. He likes me for what I am, not some phony person like Hillary or Mcain.

Its a reasonable concern, but given his past performance in the Illinois Senate and now his performance in the US Senate I think hes proven himself.

EDIT: Why again did you bump a thread where the last post was 20 days old?

EDITEDIT: Would love to know why below poster.

Hmm I remember that video having the caption "?VOTE OBAMA? [the rest]"

-and yeah Evolution of Dance topped at like, 70 million, and this just popped out of nowhere and had 80 million last time I saw it, and that was a MONTH ago! Now it's bumped up by 20 million....

check out the guys profile though, it's filled with Obama-ness.
