‘Obama Girl’ No Longer Hot For Obama

You may recall Amber Lee Ettinger as the young woman who appeared in a music video confessing a crush on the then-Senator from Illinois at the start of his campaign for the Presidency way back in 2007. Well, it appears that the love may be gone:

The woman who rose to viral fame with “Obama Girl” videos praising Barack Obama’s presidential candidacy in 2008 doesn’t seem crazy about him these days.

Amber Lee Ettinger tells The Daily Caller website she is “not as excited as I was the last time, that’s for sure.”

Asked if she will vote for the president’s re-election, the star of the video “Crush on Obama” said: “At this point I’m keeping that to myself.

Poor Obama can’t get a break anywhere these days.

    If you are younger than 30 and aren’t a liberal, you have no heart, if you are older than 30 and are a liberal, you have no brains.

    I’ve always heard it told this way:

    If you are younger than 30 and are conservative, you have no heart, if you are older than 30 and are a liberal, you changed for a damned good reason.

    I think I’ll just stick with “you’re a goddamn idiot.” (“You” being anyone in particular.) I can prove this mathematically: subtract ten years from your age. Were you smart then? Of course not, you were a goddamn idiot. Thing is, you’re still a goddamn idiot, it’ll just take another ten years to figure it out.

    @Tillman: I think you’re on to something there but I won’t know for sure until 10 years from now 🙁

    Maybe, just maybe, she figured out that Obama is a mock-up President created by the left leaning media puppet-masters. She tried the dog stew and it turned her stomach no matter how good Obama proclaimed it to be. Obama is that black guy on the movie, Airplane, who speaks fluent jive. All talk and non-benevolent action is all that will ever come from him.
