Scarlett Johansson Emails With And Talks To Barack Obama

Politico:

She e-mailed him after some of the Democratic debates, offering her thoughts on his messages and performance. "After the silliness of the last ABC debate," she says of the highly criticized event co-hosted by Charles Gibson and George Stephanopoulos, she wrote to congratulate him on "holding his ground."

His replies have been thoughtful, she says, more than a brief line or two; on the ABC debate, he responded that the questioning was "difficult" and he was being pounded on "one silly question after another."

Johansson is somewhat shocked that he keeps up their back-and-forth correspondence. "You'd imagine that someone like the senator who is constantly traveling and constantly 'on' -- how can he return these personal e-mails?" she asks. "But he does, and in his off-time I know he also calls people who have donated the minimum to thank them. Nobody sees it, nobody talks about it, but it's incredible." She adds, "I feel like I'm supporting someone, and having a personal dialogue with them, and it's amazing."

Well, this is sort of disappointing. I am a Obama supporter, but this isn't something I wanted to hear, makes him sound a little too typical male. Hopefully, it wasn't him answering her, rather an assistant filling in for him. Why is she gushing in public about such stuff.....­having a crush on him, oh brother? He is twice her age.......­... I hope she is just having "girly fascinatio­ns." Okay, Michelle, let's get this guy walking the straight line......­no more Clintonian Hollywood crap......­..

Scarlett endorsed Obama and as a popular figure, her support is a good example towards her fans.
So Why ... can Oprah call him ... and not Scarlett. I would give the same attention to both, since these peoples help and bring to him even more fellows because of their popularity. Some men can think business instead of thinking with their SE?. It's up to any woman to fantasy and it's up to every men to be a woman's man in her fantasy (reciprocal) but Obama (as a successful senator) has got through those kind of challenges, long before he ran for president. What's unbelievable is that the Press could talk about the 1000 or more men fascinated (about the hope of changing Washington DC) ... but the Press don't mind focusing on women fascination on a Man giving hope to them... because the press loves conflicts in order to come out with the most exiting article of the day. DO NOT FORGET OBAMA HAS TO BE EVEN KIND TO WOMEN...AS HE NEEDS THEIR SUPPORT. Let's back to work on ISSUES

If you read the exchange, you'll see it is not a professional exchange and Oprah isn't out in the world talking about the content of their emails. Oprah also is not a twenty-seomthing, blonde, hollywood starlet. It is obviously a man looking for "comfort" from a woman. "They pounded me with silly quesitons" please... have a clue. Harmless, possibly -- but most likely not. if it's harmless, why is huffpost featuring it two days in a row. huffpost is not a gossip magazine.

[Sabreen60]

Well it you found out that it was Oprah emailing him, would your reaction be the same. Oprah is unmarried and a celebrity? Why do you immediately jump to the conclusion that she has a crush on him? She's a supporter and stumped for him.

[funwithwarcrimes]

Oprah is a business woman. Oprah is not a twenty something hot hollywood starlet with way too much time on her hands. I's not a fair or even comparison. Oprah has not made her email conversations public in the same way. Oprah's camp doesn't have time to care about making such things public.

[ClydeSloppers]

While he ignores emails sent to him by parents with sons and daughters serving in Iraq. Nice priorities.

[sixletters]

Your an idiot.

[Lesjoan]

No six your the idiot!

[AryanMjolnir]

This is ridiculous.

[aznurse]

did she appear in that video from Will iam?

[kingcityguru]

Some empty-headed and self-described "promiscuous big-titted" 23 year old actress sends him emails and he responds over and over again. Unless he is trying to bag her, that is scarey.

[Zeusthunderbolt]

I guess every good looking person should be shunned, treated rudely, their emails not answered, for fear of being smeared. Refuse to talk to a woman in a muslim country and a man in a pig, but talk to a good looking one in America, and one is a sexual predator. He should refuse to answer her mails because Why ? She is young ? pretty? Big titted ? Cute ? Empty headed ? ( your label ofcource and it is sexist based on the notion that she possess all the other assetts ) . If there was ever a sexist comment , this is it.

Thankyou senator obama for being a fair minded, non sexist, friendly, and non judgemental leader. Do not get scared and contine to communicate with people, even if they turn out to be young, pretty, famous, and proud of being your followers.

[HopeGirl]

Scary? Really. An email from a 23 year old is scary. Are you 4 years old? Are there monsters under your bed? Stranger Danger?

Get some self respect.

[devadasi]

kingcitygu­ru....your comments are a bit cynical. Scarlett has been very inolved in his campaign and influenced others to support Obama. It's about the youth vote. Although I will say this: now that the entire world knows that Obama has been responding to her emails, she will never hear from him again.

[AntonBursch]

I gotta say... I like her well enough as an actress... but she's not very attractive­... I honestly don't know why people think she's hot. Maybe it's just the guys who only care about lips and boobs. I guess she has that going for her. But she's kinda akward looking to me. I'm not trying to be mean. But I don't Obama thinking much of her, especially being married to Michelle. I'm only 34, but even I know that Scarlett is no Monroe.

[Madmac]

Smart Man...

[mostest]

Dumb Wife.

[IRepTheKing]

Did she say she had a crush? Did she say they met up inappropriately? No. Instead of reading what she DID say, you guys are reading more into it, including things she DID NOT say. This is the reason he will have it hard changing the way politics is played because of comments like these.

Let's not give the Repugs any fat to chew. This was innocent emails and she's trying to show people that Obama is a regular guy who doesn't find himself above those who supports him.

[sstansbe]

Actually, she did say she had a crush. You should click on the link to read the whole story.

[goldnchyl]

And she also comments on the little known fact that Obama contacts many supporters, even the smallest donors, to thank them. Anyone who reads more into this is of the McBush mindset where any and everything, no matter how insignificant, is magnified.

[onceler]

is she trying to play the 'Kennedy / Monroe' card?

[conniedogs]

Just rub it in Scarlett. Yeah, we know your name will be on the inaugural ball list. Good for you! As long as JLo doesn't make the list, where was she when Sen O needed her support with the Hispanics? Now that he's the nominee she's interested.

[funwithwarcrimes]

She was busy giving birth to twins. cut her some slack.

[southafrica4obama]

what's her email address?

[aubrey8]

well, we have the makings of a another sex scandal before the election. how did they meet? how did she get his personal email or did he get hers first? are there copies out there of their text messages? does he call her sweetie?

ahhh....th­e perks of being a blond bombshell.­.....to be continued?

[mike53]

If it gets to the point of being a scandal all he has to do is go before the cameras, point a bony finger and say, "I did not have text with that woman, Miss Johansson".

[onceler]

that would be some funny sh$t

[funwithwarcrimes]

THAT IS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO FUNNY!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!­!! Are you a writer????
We want to meet you Mike53 -- can you stop by and send us an email? http://www.funwithwarcrimes.com

Admit it, it's tempting to imagine the hotshot democratic nominee with the sexy young starlet; it harkens back to JFK and Marilyn. But it's just that, imagination. Obama is too shrewd to pull a Clinton, and besides he clearly respects --and maybe fears -- his wife too much to make her a public cuckold like Hillary. Not a chance.

[HatingTheGame]

I'm not sure if its the safest thing in the world for a potential future POTUS to be emailing people. I now I'd be shit if my emails came up on some hacked, background oppositional research.

I'm just saying.

[MariaHopeful]

A lot of you on here posing as Obama supporters are McCain trolls seeking to exploit an innocent situation. McCain left his sick wife to take up a heiress cheerleader. None of the GOP leaders have a leg to stand on here. Obama supporters, I suggest that we take over this thread and make it a recipe post. Enough already!
