‘Obama Girl’ Didn’t Vote
The New York Times ^ | February 6, 2008 | Jennifer 8. Lee

Posted on 02/06/2008 7:46:22 PM PST by george76

So, did the “Obama Girl” actually vote for Barack Obama on Tuesday? Actually, no.

Last summer, the amateur music video “I Got a Crush on Obama” was a Web hit, splashing a seductive performance by a 26-year-old model named Amber Lee Ettinger across millions of screens and prompting deep thoughts about candidates and sex appeal, the YouTube generation of voters, viral marketing and so forth.

On Tuesday night, City Room ran into Ms. Ettinger at an election-watching party in Greenwich Village and asked how things went at the polls.

“I didn’t get a chance to vote today because I’m not registered to vote in New York,” she said.

So where is Obama Girl registered to vote?

“New Jersey.”

Um, but didn’t New Jersey also hold a primary?

It just goes to show you that superficial people are ultimately....superficial and only full of themselves. It’s all about me.

Well, she might get another chance in November.

Or not.

Reminiscent of Madonna’s “Rock the Vote” commercial where she wrapped her nude body in an American flag. I turned out she almost never voted either.

Obamagirl is a much better video than this rising charttopper:

She plans on making up for it by voting twice in the General Election this November.

Too lazy or too ignorant to request an absentee ballot? Wonder which?

The ideal was to promote herself and she did well. I doubt if she really cared about the election at all. That is why there is so much childish BS on youtube.
