‘Obama Girl’ is ‘not as excited’ about 2012, won’t endorse Obama

http://news.yahoo.com/obama-girl-not-excited-2012-won-t-endorse-193610215.html

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.”

So she realizes her 15 minutes is up, but reporters don't?

That was a "change" election.. this is a "finish the job" election. Naturally people arent going to be as excited.

Mos def an attractive young lady. The fact that there was someone willing to go out and seek her opinion proves that people have way too much time and not enough REAL things to do.

...because last time, just maybe, you were a bit too excited.

When all is said and done, he's still a politician. That isn't necessarily a bad thing, but even the best ones ain't super.

It's not like she conceptualized the whole "Obama Girl" thing herself based on being such a huge supporter. Right-wing media was already harping on her "uncertainty" a couple of years ago, I think. I guess that makes for more of a story than, "'Obama Girl' still supports Obama, just unenthusiastically." haha

she is nothing more than those actors they get for TV ads. she was hired for some video .

she is nothing more than some kardashian , paris hilton type person but maybe without the wealth.

If she did that, I might have to consider giving the YouTube of that theoretical song a thumb's up.
