Obama Girl Tells Hannity 'At Least I Wasn't The Edwards Girl'

Amber Lee Ettinger, the woman who became famous for her viral video "I Got A Crush...on Obama," made it quite clear Thursday she's lost that loving feeling for the former junior senator from Illinois.

"If I had this crush on him the same way as I did in the beginning, I'd be the fool," she told Fox News's Sean Hannity.

In many respects, Ettinger was speaking for a lot of Americans -- in particular, so-called journalists! -- about how she was taken in by Barack Obama:

When you get into a relationship with somebody, they are great and perfect. They say all the right things. And then once you're in the relationship, it's like, okay, they're not that perfect.

But maybe her best comment of the evening was, "Well, at least I wasn't the Edwards Girl" (video embedded below the fold with partial transcript, h/t Story Balloon):

'Obama Girl' No Longer Has a Crush on the President

By Noel Sheppard | January 27, 2010 | 12:56

The woman who became famous for her "I Got A Crush...on Obama" video in 2007 has like so many in our nation lost that loving feeling for the President.

"In my opinion, I feel like he should be focusing a lot more on jobs and the economy," Amber Lee Ettinger told the New York Post. 

"He did create some jobs, but most of them were government jobs and that doesn't really help the middle class," she added.

Given the media's fascination with "Obama Girl" when she first appeared on the scene, it's going to be interesting to see how they report her change of heart (h/t JammieWearingFool via Instapundit):
