Actress has a crush on Obama

Every presidential candidate can use a sexy blonde movie star to liven up his or her campaign, appear at big money events and rally the entertainment community. Sen. Barack Obama's go-to Hollywood hottie is Scarlett Johansson, a starlet who trades frequent e-mails with the presumptive Democratic nominee, campaigns tirelessly on his behalf, hosts lucrative fundraisers and even appeared in that "Yes We Can" viral video that got 10 million views in its first week online.

Drawn to his candidacy largely because of her anti-war views, she met Obama several times on the trail, talking to him one-on-one on many occasions. "The most time I spent with him was the first time I met him, at a private event for supporters," she said. "After that, it's been a few minutes here, a few minutes there on the trail."

She e-mailed him after some of the Democratic debates...

His replies have been thoughtful, she says, more than a brief line or two; on the ABC debate, he responded that the questioning was "difficult" and he was being pounded on "one silly question after another."

Johansson is somewhat shocked that he keeps up their back-and-forth correspondence.

He has followed her career as well, telling her that his favorite performance was her turn in "Lost in Translation."

Wait until Michelle finds out.

[RexBeach]

They trade e-mails? Do Michelle know about this? Man oh man, I wouldn’t want to get on her bad side.

[dforest]

I am going to gag.

[ExTexasRedhead]

I need a barf bag ASAP!

[rightinthemiddle]

They both speak “airhead.” Everything else is lost in translation.

Conservative women are som much hotter.

[beezdotcom]

It would just be sooooo much funnier if it were Denise Richards....

[rockabyebaby]

Hollywood hottie is Scarlett Johansson

Hollywood hottie liberal idiot is Scarlett Johansson

[theDentist]

Rules are rules...

[Wyatt's Torch]

You can email her at scarlett@vapidhollywoodtwit.org

[TribalPrincess2U]

They trade e-mails? Do Michelle know about this? Man oh man, I wouldn’t want to get on her bad side. >P> They're probably laughing at the bimbo and thinking more votes for the bumbo.

[rhombus]

Hollywood actresses swooning over a Democrat? So where’s the news?

[Resolute Conservative]

Every other woman who works for Hussein should be insulted, I bet they don’t get to trade emails with him why should she?

[HKMk23]

Okay, I’ll say it:

OBVIOUSLY, those AREN’T brains.

[Resolute Conservative]

Lohan redux.

[TribalPrincess2U]

Some people will do anything for attention...
Is this a Monica moment?

[Jane Austen]

Yuck. If I said whom Obama reminds me of, I might get kicked off FR. The first initial of C.

[Centurion2000]

INNOCENT!!!!

[FocusNexus]

Monica Lewinsky-2 in the making? "...she's made no secret of her deep devotion to the candidate. "I am engaged to Barack Obama," she said back in January, joking with reporters after returning from a USO tour to the Persian Gulf. "My heart belongs to Barack."

...she met Obama several times on the trail, talking to him one-on-one on many occasions. "The most time I spent with him was the first time I met him, at a private event for supporters," she said. "After that, it's been a few minutes here, a few minutes there on the trail."..."

[dfwgator]

She obviously traded in her brain for boobs.

[Czar]

With a rack like that, surely you weren't really expecting brains, were you?

I thought not.

Nice to look at, pure torture to listen to...

[dforest]

I think they tried a silicone brain enhancement on her, didn’t work, so she settled for boobs.

[444Flyer]

Maybe she's one of those women who have an obsession with changing men, Obama is always talking about “change”. He's become the Tom Jones of leftists.

Personally speaking he's just, well, for lack of a better word...yucky.

[Niteranger68]

No big shock here. SJ is a moron of the highest order.

[FocusNexus]

“...he responded that the questioning was “difficult” and he was being pounded on “one silly question after another.”...”

What a whiner!

[goldstategop]

I'd vote NOT GUILTY - if she weren't so enamored of the Obamessiah!

[PGR88]

At least he’s not gay.

[Redcloak]

Scarlett can do whatever she wants... NOT GUILTY!!!!

[Redcloak]

At least he’s not gay.

Um... When was the last time you had your gaydar serviced? 

[evets]

[tacticalogic]

INNOCENT!!!!

If you would hit, you must acquit!

[WakeUpAndVote]

When women swoon, you know its a bad sign.

[b4its2late]

She can grab him by the ears!

[ImJustAnotherOkie]

Because she's HOT

[TLI]

O-Bot

Ok, ok, she is a pretty hot O-Bot...

:-)

[dfwgator]

No matter how hot she is, there is a guy out there who is already tired of her s—t.

[Sig Sauer P220]

JFK had Marilyn, so the MSM wants to give BHO Scarlett.

[dforest]

I have to say it. There is nothing attractive about Obama. He is skinny, has big ears and blue lips.

That description could describe many people in a nursing home.

Must be that heavy dose of marxism that gets the girls.

[reagan_fanatic]

* sigh*

Further proof that brains don’t always go hand in hand with beauty.

[Zuben Elgenubi]

The Wall Street Journal had an article in Saturday’s edition that stated 61% of American Jews will vote for Obama. SJ is just following the trend.

[Cecily]

“Johansson is somewhat shocked that he keeps up their back-and-forth correspondence.”

Little does she know, but her “correspondent” is some Obama flunky who has a crush on her. :)

[ImJustAnotherOkie]

I guess Obie ain’t one of them.

Besides she is verrryyy young and everything is where it belongs.

[Resolute Conservative]

Not my type. I prefer women with an IQ bigger than their bust and not as slutty/teenage looking.

[McGruff]

Wait until Michelle the original Obama Girl finds out.

[Always Right]

Kryptonite.

[dfwgator]

Get ready for “Jungle Fever, Part Deux”.

[Enchante]

"I prefer women with an IQ bigger than their bust and not as slutty/teenage looking."

You are so demanding! :^)

[Always Right]

Every other woman who works for Hussein should be insulted, I bet they don’t get to trade emails with him why should she?

It is kind of funny. The one semi-celeb I know about says he has no problem getting to talk to Hillary, but when he wants to talk to Obama, all he can get is a staffer. I guess it pays to be blond.

[Always Right]

Not my type. I prefer women with an IQ bigger than their bust

Can't we have it all?
