That's correct. It was filmed for the first season (2001) when Obama was a state senator. It wasn't run at the time, then was run just before his inauguration in 2009.

The producer said they didn't run it back in 2001 because the flow of the episode wasn't right. The other two reviewers were somewhat quiet and Obama ended up doing most of the talking. Amanda Puck didn't do much to get the others involved (Alpana Singh did much better in similar situations).
