This is a great example of the "Streisand effect." None of us would have ever heard about this video if Obama hadn't tried to censor it:

Streisand effect

The Streisand effect is a primarily online phenomenon in which an attempt to hide or remove a piece of information has the unintended consequence of publicizing the information more widely. It is named after American entertainer Barbra Streisand, whose attempt in 2003 to suppress photographs of her residence inadvertently generated further publicity.

Now you can see her house on the Bold and Beautiful soap opera in long shots of the house next door...which is being used as a set.

I think it may be owned by the producer of the show.
