'Obama Girl': Crush on President Faded Due to 'Broken Promises'

'Obama Girl': Crush on President Faded Due to 'Broken Promises'

The infamous "Obama Girl" whose viral video "Crush on Obama" made her an Internet sensation during the 2008 presidential campaign says she no longer has a passionate crush on President Obama. Known to the world as "Obama Girl," Amber Lee Ettinger said in an interview on Fox News about Obama's first year as president: "Broken promises. People like -- talk is cheap; actions speak louder than words."

Explaining to Fox's Sean Hannity the analogy between her crush on Obama and real life romance, she explained that "even with a relationship, you know, once people - your boyfriend, girlfriend doesn't do what they say they're going to do, you kick them to the curb."

Like most crushes, "Obama Girl" realized that the reality of the man fell short of her fantasy. "I just don't have that big crush like I used to," she said, though conceding she's not given up entirely on her guy, grading him a B minus on a scale of A-F.

During the 2008 presidential campaign, the "Crush on Obama" video -- which was not connected to the candidate or his campaign -- gave a boost to the sexy, youth-oriented allure of Obama. "Obama Girl" became infamous for singing about her crush wearing, alternately, a tight tank top with Obama's face on it, a pink bikini and hot pants with "Obama" printed across the rear. To date, the video on YouTube has over 16 million hits.

Ah truly, is there anything like a story of good love gone badly? The infamous Obama Girl who helped inspire an entire generation of youthful Americans to see the future President as a Popular Icon and Sex Symbol has decidedly rejected her one time infatuation and professed love and admiration for President Obama.

Evidently she feels that he has been a bad boyfriend and failed to keep his promises and perform in the manner he said he would.

She feels it’s only appropriate to kick him to the curb as a result.

Alas if only she knew that not only was it foolish to promote an unaccomplished man for President of the United States entirely based on hipness and sex appeal but it’s not very easy to kick one to the curb once they take up residence in 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue either.

Thanks to a horde of youthful voters utilizing the same type of criteria in making their selection for the highest office in the land and arguably the most powerful office in the world we are now stuck with a pretty face and an empty suit that well, does lie, lies often, and without shame.

I wonder if the President knows Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned and that if just a year in to their tragic love affair she is ready to kick him to the curb, just what she might have to say about him three years from now when the people of the nation do kick him back to the curb on the other side of the White House fence. That side of the White House fence he should have been kept on all along?

A sign of the times and a valuable object lesson here!

Interesting article,.

I think there have been only 3 or 4 presidents who didn't get elected for a second term. Is it possible that Obama will be voted out after 4 years? Will the puppet masters allow it?

He doesn't seem to care.Either that or he is being advised poorly and is misreading the American people.I think it is the latter.


Hey that's funny,he's misreading and misleading.

Honestly I don't think the Puppet Master intends for Obama to last a full term.

He was simply the ideal person to further along the Agenda while wooing and plactating people like the Obama girl.

And millions of other Obama girls who would vocally decry anyone critical of the President.

At this rate a lot will have to change in the next four years for Obama to become reelectable!

Thanks for posting.

I have to say he really doesn't care. Clearly Michelle does not look like that in a bikini!

I think our President is well, I hate to say it, thinking with the smaller of his two brains and in his case the smaller of the two is not the one located in the empty head on his shoulders!

Well what do you think, if you dare to say? Are you thinking he will be impeached, or worse?

If we had to judge by the Obama girl's reaction I would say worse than impeached.

Lying to people is a tricky thing. Ultimately the people who were duped by Obama's used car sales pitch are going to be even angrier with him and at him than the people who didn't vote for him and those who were adamanantly opposed to him occupying the White House.

The Democratic Party is likely to be decimated come the midterm elections and with neither republicans or then democrats appreciate having him in the White House the key for democrats in 2012 succeeding is displaying they too have rejected Obama and his platform.

This will make the Carter Administration appear popular before all is said and done.

That's really the type of president this country really needs. We need presidents willing to say "the hell with the second term" and instead focus on trying to get the job done. Those willing to push for what they believe in instead of worrying about what the political consequences are.

This country has been destroyed by the politicians more interested in their political careers and power than the needs of the country. We see that in congress now, instead of making progress on much-needed changes, we see both sides posturing for the maximum political gains.

Yes, I do mean both parties. The Republicans like the Democrats are nothing more than political whores now. People more interested int heir own profit than the needs of the country.

So, the problem with Obama isn't that he doesn't care about he second term; its that he won't say the hell with the political fallout from doing what he thinks is right.

Obvioulsy what he thinks is right is lying to his constituents, bailing out bankers, exporting jobs and expanding the wars.

That's not exactly what his supporters had in mind.

"Actions speak louder than words"

Even Obama Girl sees and understands that!

This article about Obama Girl "breaking up" with Obama is really more telling than face value; it speaks for the fact that Obama was elected on a bunch of hype, plastic fantastic crap. It was like some kind of frenzy that people were blindly following.

I don't like to say I told you so but really I had a close family member who wouldn't speak to me for quite some time because I dared to question Obama's qualifications when we went out to dinner one night. I haven't rubbed it in one bit though since then; I figure the people who voted for him are suffering enough as it is.

Honestly if I were president and was able to straighten this whole mess out and put America back on the path and somehow managed to not be assassinated in the process; I would not seek immediate re-election to a second term. Would not matter if I was the most beloved president ever for returning jobs, eliminating the deficit and putting the federal government back in place.

I would hold the threat of a second term over the heads of Congress to keep them in line. To make sure the things fixed remained fixed, and be able to live in what America is supposed to be like for at least 30-40 years after that term.

After two consecutive years of enraging voter fraud and disenfranchisement out of Bush and his ilk, I admit I was excited by Obama too. For one thing, I was still a democrat and still riding my wave of loathing for those who screwed us the past eight years, that getting excited for a great orator like the handsome young Obama was not difficult.

But unlike Obama girl I woke up shortly after the election, and have regretted voting period ever since. I am officially done voting because this election (it took a while) showed me what I say is not going to be heard, my say in the political field is not needed because there is an agenda to politics and I aint part of it. It did not take me a year!

Oh, and again unlike Obama Girl, I give Obama a D for DUD.

There is no doubt about the fact that rampant peer pressure helped to elect Obama thanks to people like Obama Girl.

For a while it was automatically deemed racist to criticize him as a candidate and as President.

The people who supported him most with that peer pressure realizing the error and the foolishness of their ways is what will lead to a healthy debate again in the country.

No debate is healthy when trying to have one automatically gets you labelled as racist by people using politically correct peer pressure and their own numbers in an attempt to intimidate people.

Hopefully such people will learn through their dissapointment that what makes America work is free speech including the words you don't sometimes want to hear or listen too!

What people using that kind of peer pressure don't understand is nobody wins and everyone looses when we can't have an honest political debate.

The other day I saw a car at the light in front of me.

It had an Obama/Biden campaign bumber sticker, the Obama logo sticker (rather large) below that (both clearly had been there awhile) and then above those two, you see (looking rather new)

Clearly, Obama girl is not the only one.

All those I personally know who voted for Obama regret it.

I do not see him being a 2 termer. No way the voters would vote that man back into office.

Maybe in a round about way the best thing that could have happened to the country was the worst thing by electing someone whose lies were so over the top that todays youth will remember for generations to come that talk is cheap and not to be so easily seduced by it or to make your decisions purely on emotions.

Anger was at an all time high towards the Bush Cabal and their excesses of Office and the many crimes that occured.

Yet the truth is all Obama has done is to continue on in the same patern and mold while putting time and distance between the crimes of the Bush White House and stonewalling any real investigation into anything Bush did.

Considering that the 20 something crowd has another 50 years or more of voting and political life to them, this hopefully will in fact turn out to be a great lesson for them about politics and politicians that will stick. A hard lesson but a good one nonetheless.

What a cute bumper sticker. Imagine a year ago you would have been taking your life into your own hands practically displaying something like that.

I had read all of Obama's failed attempts at legislation in the Senate and really wondered just what the heck all the political pundits and TV News commentators and average people saw in him after reading them.

I actually feel sorry for Obama girl and a lot of other well intentioned but albeit fools.

They fell prey to a marketing scam and now there is not only not any way for them to get their money back, but their pockets are going to keep on being picked anyway for the next three years by the occupant of Pennsylvania Avenue.

The occupant that want's to increase funding for the wars but freeze spending on the people!

The crazy thing at this rate Bush will end up looking good by comparison!

Thanks for posting.

Great thread, PT!

It's a shame how more people couldn't see through him before, but I guess I can't say I'm not suprised... seeing as how I live in a country where a football player makes more than any teacher or professor, and vain and glorified garbage like "American Idle" has higher ratings than actual coverage of legislation that affects the daily events of our very lives!

I wonder how bad the damage is going to get before anything significant is done about him. It's only a matter of time before the disillusionment wears off completely. Then what?

Clinton was impeached for less than half the things Obama has done already, and he was still able to serve a full term.

Are you guys kidding here? I love the way Obama has put our own intelligence agencies on trial while giving the terrorists all the benefits of American citizenship. Just look at how they dealt with their most recent patsy, the Christmas underwear bomber. They made sure to read him his rights within an hour of taking him into custody thereby shutting him up effectively.

Now the MSM will gloss over this fact by saying that the perpetrator has been talking to the FBI anyway and that they have gleaned valuable intelligence in spite of their stupidity. I am not buying it. They will release to us a few vague threats that supposedly came from him to keep us on edge. Obama really goes out of his way to accommodate the PTB's agenda.

We've heard him in his State Of The Union address tell us about the overwhelming scientific data that supports man made global warming, amid the jeers that arose from such a statement. Then he blatantly confesses that even if it isn't true, we still have to be on board with it. Oh, he is something special. Obama girl has been disenchanted along with the rest of his fan club.

Sadly in Obama's case most people saw simply what they wanted to see.

They didn't do research on him, they didn't even appreciate that other people were doing research on him and sounding the warnings.

They wanted to sell themselves purely on the illusion of hope and change and that Obama would make life better for them somehow even though in his entire career in politics he had not authored one piece of legislation that was even passed into law that made life any better for anyone.

People see what they want to see as long as their is a way for them to pretend that is what they are seeing.

Its just getting very hard to pretend anymore where Obama is concerned even for the world famous Obama Girl!

Thanks for posting.

Quite frankly I think I am done voting for a while. I voted Obama and yes he did actually have a mess to clean up from his predecessor but it sure ain't gettin any cleaner. They lie...they ALL lie. I was so happy that we had an all Dem government but frankly they are all useless. I practice and believe in Socialism but frankly the greed and stupidity of mankind is what keeps us from living any semblance of a life here
