Obama's Bush Rebuttal Breaks Another YouTube Record

obamastateoftheunion.gif As The Nation reported on Monday, Barack Obama was the only presidential candidate to Btape a rebuttal to President Bush's State of the Union for YouTube. It's paying off.

By Tuesday afternoon, "Barack Obama's response to Bush's final State of the Union" drew over 300,000 views in under 20 hours.

The public has shown overwhelming and sustained interest in hearing from Obama directly. This is the third Obama video to shoot into YouTube's top three in the past 10 days -- past clips of naked celebrities and Scientology rants -- and the first video that was shot specifically for web viewers, rather than broadcasting documentary footage of a speech.
