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."

All you people with your innuendos are only showing what YOU are thinking. What a bunch of frustrated chumps. Go watch some porn and come back.

Actress in search of attention... she must have a new movie coming out.

[Strywever]

Au contraire! She's an actress who already gets a lot of attention -- and that's why he maintains the pen-pal relationship with her. She wants to be used wherever she can add value to his campaign activities, so he's using her and making sure she knows he appreciates the opportunity.

Why is this news?
If you have never received a personal email from Barack, Michelle or David Plouffe, then you are NOT a true supporter. You may be a sympatizer, just not a staunch supporter. I have received personal e-mails from these three people and responded, and then getting replies back. I am no Scarlett and definitely not gay. Everything depends on your level of support, the content of your email and how you keep up with daily campaigning. I may be wrong to suggest that you are not a true support and I apologize if I am wrong. If you truly are, then I can bet that you also have some times during the campaign received an email from him that you thought was sent by a staff and did not pay attention to it.
Aside from that, any major fundraiser has Barack's direct contact info. Scarlett being one and ice on the cake, a grassroot supporter and leading organizing effort to support the candidate, it is not surprising that she frequently communicates with him. By emailing the candidate after a debate, shows that she keeps up with the candidate's message, that she supports the candidate's agenda and that just because he did not perform well in a particular teevee debate wouldn't be enough to sway her support away. Get involved, pay attention and get personal with Barack and I bet my bottom $ that you will get your own Scarlett-like moment.

Ha! Are you talking about the campain emails that everyone gets? Please! Do you really think they are talking to you personally? Ha! That being said, I fully support Barack Obama for president.

[chewie2008]

she`s been a supporter for a long time and even joked about being engaged to him.she probably has a little crush on him,but an innocent one,....so everyone just relax.

[aubrey8]

just like all innocent crushes...but somehow, no one knows how, they just fell in love.

[scornflakes]

She's gotta be on the cabinet. How about secretary of the Let's Clone Scarlett Johansson Department?

[leahsmommy]

If you all believe that Barck Obama is responding to her emails, you are as dizzy as she is? How does she know it's him and that she has his personal email address? I have four email addresses myself.

Wake up, Democrats

[mostest]

it might not be Barack but it sure "ain't" Michelle.
Forget Barack running for POTUS; he is a married man it does not pass the smell test.
What if...let us say...Lebron James and Michelle were exchanging lengthy email and text message..How would Barack like that....totally inappropriate. Barack has a very swelled head (be kind) A nice beat down in November will do him and his family well...it might save our country and HIS marriage. YOu know what they say every dark cloud has a .....

[NYCIC]

Obama, be strong, bruvva. Cause that girl is smokin pistol hot. Tell you what, next time she drops you an email don't even answer it, forward it my way. Now if I can just figure out how to get you my email address...

[SCG]

If Mc Same e-mailed Phyllis Schlafly would anybody care?

[jnelsonleith]

If McCain knew how to e-mail anyone I would care.

[suzyhein]

he's too busy trying to cram his new ipod into his 8 track tape player

[littlepuffycloud]

Oh brother...­..........

[kitfox]

OMG!!!! after reading some of the posts on here I have to again wonder about the American people and their mind sets. So if Scarlet was a fat mud-duck of a woman and Obama returned her emails would you think the man was planning on cheating on his wife then? This is not Bill Clin-ton we're talking about and Scarlet is no Monica (so i think) but really people, really?

and for those of you bitter she has access and you don't, really? you've got to be kidding me! Now you'll want access to the red carpet and the oval office. Want free media coverage of your posts too?

Aye chihuahua people! one step at a time - one step!

*sits in a corner and counts to ten, yells out F**ing retardos. Sorry had to release the last bit of anger*

[DebofMD]

Harold Ford lost the race for the Senate in 2006 in part because a white woman said they met at some Playboy party. And he wasn't even married at the time. The point here is that the Republicans are desperate to beat Obama and *any little thing* they can find to manipulate and use against him, they will. So while it may not be a big deal to some, it's an issue for others. I mean, dang, Fox News made a big ding-dong deal out of him and his wife giving each other dap in front of thousands of people! What do you think they're gonna do with this if Scarlett doesn't shut her trap? This is the first African American with a real chance to be President and the last thing he needs is to have even the *appearance* of impropriety with this woman. Come on...

[mahoner]

Funniest comment of the day

a "fat mud-duck of a woman" - hahahahaha. And throwing in the "aye chihuahua" is gold.

[sandiegoconservative]

Beat me to it. I cracked up when I read that.

[suzyhein]

what kills me is posts saying how crazy other posts are. it seems kind of dumb.

[peskyliberal]

"mud-duck"....Ok, I gotta ask...how old are you? I was using this term in the 70's.

My co-workers are wondering what's so funny!

Thanks.

[thoughtsoutloud]

Ugh, 46 year old married man emails back to 23 year old woman so sexy Woody Allen makes his fantasy movies about her these days?

Looks like the actress herself leaked this story. That ties in with the stories she demanded so much for her services to promote her film in Cannes that Allen and co left her home.

But please Mr. Obama, don't put yourself in positions like that! We hear you don't allow soap opera in the campaign, might be smart to apply that to supporters too? Actually, I could go for a Hollywood free White House this time around.
You have enough star power in your own right.

[NotMcCain]

He emails everyone--calls, writes notes. Good communication is smart politics and he's a born communicator.

There's nothing the least bit inappropriate, flirty, or otherwise of any interest whatsoever in these emails--except for underscoring again what a great president Obama will be, bringing all of us together, including actresses and middle aged blue collar workers, to help our country get back in shape.

It wouldn't surprise me at all if Michelle often helps answer the emails for him. This man clearly is not Bill Clinton.

Thank God.

[sandiegoconservative]

He does not email everyone! I sent him an email and have yet to receive a reply. though of course, I look NOTHING like Ms. Johansson.

[MariaHopeful]

She is not the only one he emails. He emails old ladies and old men and young ladies and young men and middle-aged women and middle-aged men and black men and black women and white men and white women and hispanic women and hispanic men and straight men and straight women and gay men and gay women and tall men and tall women and short men and short women and bright women and bright men and dumb men and DUMB WOMEN (as in this case).

[Strywever]

Oh, lord.

[onceler]

how about this - you can get as mad as you want when you hear Michelle complain about it. other than that, STFU.

[jerseywolf]

This is not a story.

Everyone move along, nothing to see here, move along . . .

[Deparis]

Really funny, buddy. I could not help, but laugh.

[4real]

OH PLEASE! All black men are not galvanized by white women...that is a stereotypical myth. So for all those people who are implying that in their post let it go.

Obama is probably just corresponding with this famous person along with many other famous people that we don't know about. The media just took interest in this particular female to try and imply something improper without actually saying it.

Does Obama have to release a list of all the famous people he emails that support him? Remember famous people have money and their friends have money so keeping in contact with them is smart.

Don't fall in the trap of the smears that are going to come SUBTLE and direct.

[Hattie]

My crotch is moist.
