Obamagirl Has Obama in Range in Denver
August 27, 2008 7:38 PM
ABC News' Nitya Venkataraman reports: On the ground in Denver, "Obamagirl" is keeping her fingers crossed that one day soon she'll cross paths with the Illinois senator on whom she famously crushed.
"I haven't really been plotting it," Internet sensation Amber Lee Ettinger says of any future meeting.
"I know 100 percent how busy he is and I don't expect to meet him this week or anytime soon."
And she's got respect for the missus. "I would love one day to meet him and Michelle, so I'll keep my fingers crossed," she says.
Fresh off a new video where Obamagirl travels back in time to advise a young "Barry" Obama on what life has in store for him, on assignment in Denver for Buzzwire's "DNC 2008" mobile channel, Ettinger stopped in at the new media Big Tent to visit with the bloggers who helped launch her to stardom last year as the lovestruck Obamagirl, pining away for the Democratic presidential nominee in her YouTube video, "I've Got a Crush on Obama."
Ettinger, who famously sang in her third video to Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., "I know Obama's gonna win it/but you're sorta kind of stayin' in it," offered praise to the New York senator tonight but stopped short of calling her a fellow Obamagirl.
Ettinger watched Clinton's Tuesday night speech at the Democratic Convention in "bits and pieces."
"She's great," Ettinger said of her crush's primary season rival. "I have total respect for her. It's always exciting to hear her talk."
After the conventions wind down, Ettinger is also headed into her own homestretch. Between the party circuit, television appearances, and the stream of fans approaching her for photographs and autographs, Ettinger has future Obamagirl videos to stand by her man, straight until the general election.

Thanks, David from Texas. You are on target.
Young girls like the Obama Girl just show how childish and inmature they are. One young girl stated on a blog she would vote for Obama just because he has a sexy butt. And these people are the country's voters. WOW. SAD. Maybe an IQ test should be given before issuing a voter's card.

Mary - I'd love for an IQ test to be administered, as polling continually shows that those with higher education vote Democrat.

Thank-you Obama Girl (for nothin'), your services are no longer wanted. I suggest everyone just stop paying attention to her. (I know it's hard; she's pretty freakin' cute, but she doesn't help our candidate one bit...)

Davis, Davis, what's wrong with you? Where is the love? And the Hope? And the Change? If this is what you are like when you win, do they have to rubber room you when you lose?

obama girl would be a great improvement from michelle who appears angry, and hostile. especially last night as hillary was speaking. she looked a bit better tonight and even shed a tear for joe biden. why was it that when hillary chocked up she was beat over the head with it. yet biden and michelle cry and it is moving and emotional? i would wager that michelle is bi-polar...

hats off to obama girl. she launched a career on the coattails of obama's campaign. why not, more power to her. why knock innovation, and creativity.
although i am no obama supporter i enjoy success stories regardless of who they are. when did being rich, famous, successful, and creative become a deficit?

I noticed the scowl on Michelle's face once again tonight. What's with that? What the hell did Michelle have on tonight????
Joe Biden's wife is a classy woman. Maybe Michelle should take some classes from her
both in how to present herself and how to dress!

Smart people vote for Republicans. That's not even debatable.
Posted by: Jo | Aug 27, 2008 9:43:34 PM
Sonia,
I noticed she was sitting with the other wicked witch of the west Teresa Heinz Kerry. Wonder if they flew in on their brooms...lol
Posted by: J | Aug 27, 2008 9:43:48 PM
Maybe this girl can dress in a toga tomorrow night and get Obama's attention.
LOLOL.

Well,
As much as I hate to say this I may vote for Obama in November. For me who is a die hard Hilary supporter is a major feat.
What Hillary said last night about were we in it for her or for the 3 people she mentioned. It made me stop and think for a bit about the future of this country. McCain is another Bush and we don't need that.

You "Smart" people are the ones that elected GWB. Look where that has us.

The only thing I think Obama has accomplished is a big oak - tree, oh and look at those knockers from the Bama girl man.....Damn these are the lefts' agendas how wonder they are for abortion all the way. Oh and who ever talks about IQs? IQs does not prove common sense.

very funny, yep i bet they flew in on their brooms. what a team, maybe she can give michelle a few tips-from one witch to another.

One good thing Jill Biden offsets Michelle. That's a plus. Michelle looks perpetually annoyed.

OBAMA Barack will win the elections as an African US as competent in political space

Did anyone notice how Obama kissed Mrs. Biden smack right on the lips? He is so arrogant. Why isn't that all over the damn news??? I am a PUMA voting for McCain. Never Obama.

Mary, as foolish as it sounds, my mother was voting for Hillary just because she is a woman . . . . . .
As the say in the used car business, " there's an a** for every seat."

Well expect him to do a lot more in the back rooms of the White House if Obama Girls hangs around. What guy could resist such a woman throwing herself at him. After all we are just men when you get down to it."

Does your wife know you wrote this? Guess it's OK in your book to have an affair if a hot girl throws herself at you. Hey wait a minute - are you John Mccain.....?
