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."

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.
“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. :)
I guess Obie ain’t one of them.
Besides she is verrryyy young and everything is where it belongs.
Not my type. I prefer women with an IQ bigger than their bust and not as slutty/teenage looking.
Get ready for “Jungle Fever, Part Deux”.
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.
Can't we have it all?
My wife says that too...
How blonde is she?
LOL now that’s funny
Measure the European way, with centimeters.
Even worse.. does Michelle know that her man is trading emails with “whitey” lol
Oh well.. another airhead actress zero to boycott and ignore lol
“Wait until Michelle finds out.”
Perhaps she already knows but doesn’t care just like Hitlery with Bill.
As one of the 39% (and, hopefully, growing) of sane Jews, all I can say is that while in my single days I wouldn't have tossed SJ out of bed for eating crackers, she clearly was given a choice between beauty and brains and chose the former. Idiot!
And have well-developed cheek muscles.
She’ll probably be crushed to hear that...
Big deal, she was born and raised in Greenwich Village in New York City, you can’t get more liberal than that.
