Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz is in a behind-the-scenes struggle with the White House, congressional Democrats and Washington insiders who have lost confidence in her as both a unifying leader and reliable party spokesperson at a time when they need her most. Long-simmering doubts about her have reached a peak after two recent public flubs: criticizing the White House’s handling of the border crisis and comparing the tea party to wife beaters. ....One example that sources point to as particularly troubling: Wasserman Schultz repeatedly trying to get the DNC to cover the costs of her wardrobe. In 2012,...

Like Clarice, I find myself feeling a little more alienated from mainstream “culture” with each passing year. Take the self-adulation orgy of the Golden Globes for example(SNIP) Last night’s telecast of the awards was, well, Les Miserables. I missed Ricky Gervais. His irreverent, non-partisan assaults lobbed in all quarters made heads explode. I guess the studio bosses and their hired hands didn’t find that as entertaining as I did. So this year we got NBC’s dream team: Tina Fey and Amy Poehler: (snip) let’s get on with this year’s winners/losers in both the film and fashion categories. Julianne Moore, for...

Video, and this comment, at link: "Amber Lee Ettinger AKA Obama Girl made this piñata [A Donkey!] her #1 enemy and we got it all in SUPER SLO MO just for you!"

If Obama Girl looks different but sounds the same, that’s because Leah Kauffman — the original singer/songwriter behind the 2008 “Crush on Obama” song and video — actually stars in this one. Last time Kauffman and partner Ben Relles, who is not involved with this new video, hired a model, Amber Lee Ettinger, to lip-synch the song. This year Kauffman steps center-stage.

Exclusive: Jane Chastain rips female supporters who 'will not think for themselves' Barack Obama is going to war with Mitt Romney. He isn’t fighting this war alone. He is fighting it with some women. Not just any women, he has a brigade of women who cannot or will not think for themselves. They pick their president the way a 7-year-old picks her Barbie Doll. They think Obama is cute and swoon over meaningless phrases like “hope and change.” They have bought into his class-warfare rhetoric, the old zero-sum game. I am poor (or not as comfortable as I’d like to...

make it go viral

Amber Lee Ettinger, widely known as “Obama Girl” during the 2008 presidential campaign, told The Daily Caller she is “not as excited as I was the last time, that’s for sure.” The model-actress became a nationally known celebrity after starring in the viral YouTube video “Crush on Obama.” “Barack Obama was definitely the first ‘Internet President,’” she said, describing her experiences during the last cycle as “quite a roller coaster ride.” This time, however, Ettinger won’t say if she still supports Obama. “At this point I’m keeping that to myself,” she told TheDC. “If I’m not making videos, I’m not...

Sandra Fluke: Politicians should be required to pass pro-woman litmus test to get elected By Michelle Fields -- The Daily Caller 12:09 AM 03/21/2012 ADVERTISEMENT Georgetown Law student Sandra Fluke said on Tuesday that candidates running for office should have to pass a pro-woman litmus test in order to get elected. Fluke, an advocate for the Obama administration’s plan to force health insurers to cover birth control, was on Capitol Hill for a forum on “Opportunities and Challenges for a New Generation of Women,” in celebration of Women’s History Month. “There should be a litmus test that they be pro-women...

She turned heads and made headlines during the 2008 election with her scantily clad rendition of “Obama Girl” and now she’s back. But this time Amber Lee Ettinger is singing a different tune. Like many Americans, Ettinger seems to be rethinking her earlier choice after three years of President Barack Obama. “Obama Girl?” calls the president’s look-a-like to begin the 2012 release: “Glease,” to which Ettinger replies, “What’s it to you dud?” … Intended to look like a “cheesy” R&B video by Ben Relles who featured Obama Girl on his Barely Political YouTube channel, the initial song has now been...

Partyer in Chief By Joel Stein Monday, Jun. 07, 2010 I don't know much about what the Tea Party stands for, but I do know it's my big chance to gain political power. Moving up in the Democratic or Republican Party would take decades, but the Tea Party is searching for leaders. Getting in on a movement early is how you get to be Sam Adams or Jesse Jackson or Obama Girl.For advice, I called Mark Williams, founder of the Tea Party Express, which raises millions of dollars by traveling in a bus and putting on shows with acts like...

Alfonzo takes on Obama's SOTU speech and Chris Matthews' memory loss. As per usual, he pulls no punches.

President Obama has been running his mouth a lot lately. Last week, he stabbed his lobbyist friends in the back and attacked his allies in Congress as if he were an outsider. Talking smack isn't boosting his low popularity though, even among his own erstwhile supporters. During his State of the Union address, Mr. Obama attacked "lobbyists [who] game the system." When Diane Sawyer of ABC News asked him about shady deals used to try to get government health care passed, he threw the Democrat-run Congress under the bus: "Let's hold on a second, Diane. . . . I didn't...

We know that people are souring on President Barack Obama, and that even some of his fans and allies have started to doubt whether he’s change they can believe in after all. But the latest case of dissent may be one of the most surprising. Speaking to Sean Hannity last night, Amber Lee Ettinger—the star of 2008’s popular “Obama Girl” web videos—said that the magic is gone: I just don’t have that big crush like I used to…yeah, I mean it was two years ago, and if I had this crush on him the same way as I did in...

Did you see this? Why conduct such a stupid interview? It's obvious this "lady" was just playing out the fad for the moment. She had no clue about anything. Does anybody actually believe she has any clue about Huckabee.

'Obama Girl' No Longer Has a Crush on the President By Noel Sheppard Created 01/27/2010 - 11:56 The woman who became famous for her "I Got A Crush...on Obama [1]" video in 2007 has like so many in our nation lost that loving feeling for the President. "In my opinion, I feel like he should be focusing a lot more on jobs and the economy," Amber Lee Ettinger told [2] the New York Post. "He did create some jobs, but most of them were government jobs and that doesn't really help the middle class," she added. Given the media's fascination...

First, Massachusetts turned on the president. Now, the bikini-clad "Obama Girl" -- who fa mously cooed about her "crush" throughout the presidential campaign on YouTube videos -- admits the thrill is gone. Amber Lee Ettinger -- the buxom sensa tion who lip-synched about her love for then-candidate Barack Obama -- said she wishes he spent his first year in office more fo cused on fixing the abysmal economy.
