Though it's not like the Obama campaign doesn't have some robot allies of their own:
The Day The Earth Stood Still was such a pessimistic movie. Klaatu comes to Earth from a fantastically advanced society which has abandoned violence and war. But not because they have created better means of conflict resolution--because giant robots will kill you if you act violently. It was a strange attempt at an anti-war message, because it seems to fit so well into the logic of Mutually Assured Destruction.
Anyway, how weird is it to have a presidential campaign putting up these kinds of youtube videos? They're usually way too square and cautious to put up videos with robots or using the infamous Epic Bike Fail clip. The Obama campaign is clearly aware of all internet traditions.
