Barack Obama is getting in on the Olympic action.

Well sort of.

Rumors have it that Obama’s campaign has bought 5 millions worth of advertising space during the NBC’s coverage of the Olympics.

It is still unclear when the ads will run or how much the 30 second spots have cost exactly as Obama’s camp has declined to comment.

But there is logic behind it since big events like Olympics draw a great number of viewers who watch the events in real time rather then to record them for later.
