When Obama Girl's "I Got a Crush...On Obama" video hit YouTube on June 13, 2007, the mainstream media went nuts.

In the next two weeks, there were over 100 press reports, including television features about the video and its star on ABC, CBS, CNN, FNC, NBC, and MSNBC.

As a result, to date, there have been over 7 million views of this piece at YouTube.

On Tuesday, the producers, Barely Political, released another Obama Girl video, this time highly critical of Hillary Clinton thereby raising an important question (video embedded top right, vulgarity warning):

How much focus will this offering get?

After all, not only does this one mock Hillary, but it also goes after media outlets such as the Washington Post and CNN.

With all the play her first video got, it's going to be very interesting to see how much attention this one garners.

Stay tuned.

One can only hope

One can only hope that the media's habit of ignoring attractive women will finally end.

Now I see what Chris Mathews means...

Must be something besides a Hardball...maybe its my crush on Obama girl.

I hate to tell these people, but there is no way, short of death, that Hillary is going to quit between now an the August convention.

Edit: LOL-And I agree with that guy at the end. I wouldn't pay s**t for it, either.

The funny part about the ending for me

Was wondering "so where's the vulgarity? Amber's still barely-clothed as usual the whole time, right?" just as they dropped the s-bomb.

A corruption-story the TV media will-not cover.

LOL-That was the funniest part of the whole thing.

Hey Noel...I for one

March 25, 2008 - 17:58 ET by bigtimer

Hey Noel...

I for one would like to thank you for putting this out here, I was just interrupted here at home while I was about to search for this...I too have been wondering what/when the msm will be saying about any of this regarding the criticism of Hill and some of them.

Shhhh....Mum's the word.

Btw...Matthews loves this all along with msnbc...something he doesn't even realize as a so-called jornalist/talking head he should be embarrassed about IMHO...but he has a thrill going up his leg, as noted in the video...lol.

One story I'm sure we won't

One story I'm sure we won't see under wraps. Hope we won't see under wraps. The less wraps the better.

Ken,

Shhhh. There's conservatives here! :-) ns

My God that was

March 25, 2008 - 18:29 ET by heldmyw

My God that was tedious!

Boobage or no, I couldn't make it through the whole thing... the whining, monotonous "music" couldn't carry the "message" and..

Forget it. It's not worth another keystroke.

 

hmw, I agree. Whatever money the Obama Girl is going to make...

March 25, 2008 - 19:03 ET by R D Helm

...had better come in over the next ten years, because her looks are about the only thing she has going for her.

heldmy, I couldn't finish

March 25, 2008 - 20:16 ET by motherbelt

heldmy, I couldn't finish it either.

What a completely stupid video.

I'll pass on Obama Girl...

March 25, 2008 - 20:28 ET by krendler

Here's something much more entertaining....

NSFW.

Includes favorites Chris Matthews, Tim Russert and, of course, Hillary and Barack. Plus a cameo by James Carville.

Wha? Huh? Is it over now?

Show a woman dancing around in her underwear and men would watch her regardless of the political message.

For us women, it just looks trashy and pointless.

I feel like I lost about 5 IQ points just from watching that.

 

uhh, candance,

If you are currently wearing a baseball cap backwards, I have it on pretty good authority (Neal Boortz) that if you turn it around so that it faces forward, your IQ will increase by forty points.

That would mean a net gain of 35 points for you after losing five points watching that hideous video. :-)

Well I don't wear any baseball caps so I guess I'm straight out of luck.

Well then, you should be sure and eat all your Wheaties in the morning, and then down a couple of cups of seriously strong coffee just for insurance.

You should break even by about noon, thereby canceling out the negative effects of your experience here this evening.

Sure hope that helps. :-)

Anyone believe Obama-Girl

March 26, 2008 - 06:56 ET by jpm100

Anyone believe Obama-Girl was disconnected from the Obama Campaign from the get go?

I have to give credit where credit is due and Obama's campaign for appealing to (manipulating?) the public has been run quite well even for getting the media soft touch. Its actually quite scary.

The Wright ordeal, for example, hasn't hurt him much with people that were likely to vote for him anyway. Its been subtle, but with a co-operative media they've done the exactly correct things to minimize it. They managed the timing of a weekend and a long weekend to get away with giving a crafted speech and taking a handful of mild questions with no real grilling on the issue. Now, the issue is almost out of the headlines, too.

No one should underestimate his Campaign.

Eh....

March 26, 2008 - 09:22 ET by AJSHOPE

Eh... I even tried watching without the sound and I could only make it through about half of it. Whatev...

I watched it

March 26, 2008 - 13:06 ET by seaniep

it is exactly like talking to an obama fan, its all about how he can change the world and how the evidence of it is how much someone wants to hang out with him

nothing about healthcare, immigration, national defense, ear marks, highway funding, taxes . . . you name it, it is a celebrity name dropping contest and feel goodery
