The Obama Channel

Sooooo....I'm flipping channels on Saturday (we have Dish Network) mindlessly scrolling through the guide.

I scroll past my local networks and I notice something different...something...NEW.

It is a new channel...a channel named "OBAMA".



Now, I don't think that there is anything wrong with what he has done. It is simply more advertising, and according to Dish Network, they extended the same offer to the McCain campaign. That said, I do find it concerning that this man feels the need to pay for his own television channel. As if the constant barrage of ads on regular TV wasn't enough, this man needs a channel specifically dedicated to HIM.

Any thoughts?

Michelle Malkin Obama has his own channel on the Dish Network (screenshot added)

Quote:
Lots of readers are e-mailing me about the appearance of a new channel on the Dish Network.
It’s all Obama, all the time.
SoulFixer TV.
HopeNChange News.
Reader Elizabeth writes: “My fiance and I subscribe to Dish Network. Today after work, we were flipping through the channels and noticed OBAMA on Channel 73. Yes, that was the actual name of the channel! It’s description is ‘Sen. Obama lays out his plan for a strong and prosperous America. See his plan to revitalize the economy and put the middle class first.’”
Reader Nicholas wants to know: “Where’s the McCain channel?”

Wonder if they’ll show the Obama Children’s Chorus?

It makes perfect sense.

kim jung il probably has his own station in North Korea ... Chavez is working on his, and AkmedINeedADinnerJacket is reported to garner airtime at will.

Doesn't he already have enough channels?

CBS, NBC, CNN, ABC.....its not as if he has no outlets or broadcast supporters. McCain needs a channel....not Obama.
