As he headed to a Hollywood fundraiser, Sen. Barack Obama downplayed the idea that he hobnobs with actress Scarlett Johansson.
The movie star, who campaigns actively for the Illinois senator, recently told the website Politico, "You'd imagine that someone like the senator who is constantly traveling and constantly 'on' - how can he return these personal emails? But he does, and in his off-time I know he also calls people who have donated the minimum to thank them."

But speaking to reporters aboard his campaign plane, Obama said the actress doesn't have his personal email address. "She sent one email to Reggie, who forwarded it to me," Obama said, referring to his 26-year-old personal assistant, Reggie Love. "I write saying, 'thank you Scarlett for doing what you do,' and suddenly we have this email relationship"

Probably a good idea considering the public health implications!
Doesn’t she have a reputation for being the biggest slut in Hollywood? If so, considering the competition that’s quite an accomplishment.
Who is Reggie Love???? He just 'takes care of stuff'.....

((Looks suspiciously at pissant with one eye-brow raised.......))
“copping a feel”.
That’s what I thought—E’s guy is squeezin’ the Charmin.
She doesn’t seem too concerned about it.
I seem to recall Susan Sarandon played a character named "Reggie Love" in some movie, but I can't remember the name of the movie.
Obviously Obama liked Reggie's style and thought he'd well represent the B.O. campaign.
That’s Obamie. Always clarifying something he or one of his minions did or said.
Can’t he just issue on blanket clarification? He’s is the messiah, right?
Just what the country needs! Knuckle-bumping President and First Lady....sigh. They’re dreameeeeeee.
I think maybe that’s BUDDY Love.
Yes, that's it! Thanks.
"Hi. I'm Reggie Love, the Ladies' Man. I take care of the Presidential Skanks. I got my Courvoisier and Barack's cell phone right here..."
LOL Yeah...I've other photos signifying as much-- apparently taken later that evening, but I don't want to endear Obama to yet another special interest group...
Will Scarlett support him even now after he has called her a liar?
I’d email her.
I really liked the book and the movie. A rare combo.
Indeed Obama has called her a liar:

His replies have been thoughtful, she said, 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. “You’d imagine that someone like the senator who is constantly traveling and constantly ‘on’ — how can he return these personal e-mails?” she asks. “But he does, and in his off-time I know he also calls people who have donated the minimum to thank them. Nobody sees it, nobody talks about it, but it’s incredible.” She adds, “I feel like I’m supporting someone, and having a personal dialogue with them, and it’s amazing.”
