I thought this was pretty funny . . . then I wondered how long it took the person to construct a one-minute video clip. Then I wondered, WHY did this person construct this??!?!
Billie,
I think the hope is that it will go viral and work as exposure for Obama, targeted to the under 30 crowd.
Although based on the lengths people have gone to to rickroll each other, there’s some who would put dozens of hours into it just for the gotcha value.

Latest polls say that people think there has been too much Obama media exposure though.

Plus rickrolling really pisses me off, though that’s probably b/c my mom was IN LOVE with Rick Astley.

Although I forgot to mention I find this more amusing then straight up rickrolling.

I find it amusing too, Burrow. With a regular rickroll, once you’ve seen the video, it’s sort of pointless.
