Uploaded to YouTube and posted on Atkin's blog, "The Margins of Error" on April 1, 2008, the video soon found its way onto other websites, such as College Humor, Break and Funny or Die, and quickly became a viral hit.

I'm F-ing Obama Lyrics:
- I'm F-ing Obama
- She's F-ing Obama
- I'm sorry but it's true
- I'm F-ing Obama
- She's F-ing Obama
- He's a spouse too (laugh)
- I'm F-ing Obama
- Inside their head
- On the floor
- When we talk about the war
- In the dark
- In every single election that we've had so far
- I'm F-ing Obama
- She's F-ing Obama
- You know I can't stop lying
- Remember landing under sniper fire
- I'm F-ing Obama
- She's F-ing Obama
- At a town hall meeting she started crying
- Just don't want to see us fall backwards
- Last week when I said shame on you
- I was F-ing Obama
- When Senator Clinton say, or President Clinton says that I wasn't opposed to the war from the start, they were definitely F-ing Obama
- She's f-ing Obama
- You don't believe that Senator Obama is a Muslim
- But I'm F-ing Obama
- There is no basis for that, as far as I know
- She's F-ing Obama
- Jesse Jackson won South Carolina twice and I'm F-ing Obama
- Celestial choirs will be singing
- She's F-ing Obama
- And the world will be perfect. (Cheering)
