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."

This is hating, but honestly... Scarlett Johannson is overrated. I'm not saying she's butt or anything, I'm just saying she's not as hot as some people make her out to be.

I'd take Alba over her in a New York minute

[Syco]

alba is definitely better looking

[dadw5boys]

Here most people are thinking politics.

We are not thinking with the same head you think with.

[ViciousOrphan]

Maybe I'd take Alba over her in a minute too, but maybe not.. not when I see pictures of Scarlett like this,

my husband would respectfully disagree. she's been his freebie for years.

[sharonh]

Is this supposed to make me want to vote for him? What exactly is the significance of this article? Who cares who this actress e-mails?

[jpaultel]

Please, Sharon, vote for him. He is the best candidate. I will give you my number and you can call me and we can chit-chat and text each other.

[dthom7171]

Interesting how she has to go all the way back to the ABC debates for reflection of their conversations.

[gladys46]

Thanks Scarlett! It's good to know that you also have a brain! Sure MSM will make lite and also make tacit something wonderfully supportive as something other .... what else does MSM have to do ... maybe cover D.Kucinich's ARTICLES OF IMPEACHMENT of G.W.BUSH!!?

[Soothsayer08]

This doesn't sound good and it's definately not the kind of publicity Barack needs to be attracting. People in this country are still too biased for any seeming impropriety of this kind to surface, whether true or not. Ask Harold Ford. While Scarlett may be ga ga and flattered, I must still wonder why she is talking about it to the press ?

[suzyhein]

i agree, but the part that bugs me is that a movie star gets his private email. that's not a very populist message.

[FirstShirt]

Careful Barack, John Kennedy had a thing for blondes too. Perhaps Hillary should keep her delegates holed up until the convention.

[Trollstakeyourmeds]

Why do you think she just suspended her campaign and didn't "end" it.

[arvay]

Watch out, I sense the Republican slime machine searching for a racial spin here, to go along with their "Muslim" crap. Remember what happened to Rep. Ford.

[Soothsayer08]

I agree with one poster, Barack should indeed be careful. This even though seemingly harmless could be used against him. He should back far away from any appearance of impropriety. The smear campaign against Harold Ford should be an example, of what can happen. Why is she going public with the emails ? She attracts attention and publicity of this kind he doesn't need, so he should stop this.

[Trollstakeyourmeds]

Gosh....I wonder if Michelle gets to read his "personal" e-mails.

[DebofMD]

Michelle would knock him into next week if he messed around on her. That sis' does not play.

[Trollstakeyourmeds]

Not to mention what she would do to her....the skinny, blonde hussy!!! LOL.

[pupbayer]

I guess this is the next step in the comparison to Kennedy, uh?

[paganmist]

You're a sad, sad little man.

[Seven7s]

Guess I'm the only Obama supporter that finds this funny LOL

You mjust attack Obama a lot or something?

[gladys46]

Strange behaviors of too many repubs .... at least she's a "woman!"

[Syco]

now thats funny

[suzyhein]

take an apirin dog

[marymansour]

Let's move past this Scarlett Johannson issue before the media make a big thing out of it. J-Lo paid a visit to his office too. So what? I noticed that all these pretty white women who introduce him at rallys love to hug him. He's a great looking guy. I don't want to see him linked with other women though. One of his many, many assets is his devotion to his wife and family. Shut up, Scarlett, and write a check or something.

[paganmist]

Ugh, she's allowed to speak out for him? Should she - a young American with a fire for change, for the desire to change the country that most of Obama's supporters possess - NOT use her resources to bring about change? That's what celebrities SHOULD be doing. Would you rather she buy a little dog and keep it in her purse and run a few people over?

Yeah, there are going to be people who try to throw this kind of thing about Obama in a negative way, but guess what? They're WRONG. And you don't stop doing what's right, because you're afraid that someone will do something wrong to counter it. You keep going.

I admire her for speaking out, for doing all that she's doing, for using her celebrity to support Barack Obama and not, oh say, scientology or Alcoholics Anonymous. This is just one way we can see that her beauty is more than skin deep.

[mcyina]

She needs to go away.. She goes around dressing like a 40's pinup star. That how it starts. Next she will start singing happy birthday Barrack and want to get in his pants.

[paganmist]

This is what we call being a "hater". She must be prettier than you are or something.

[strawberryjulius]

And her album is awful too.

[dadw5boys]

Yeah just like Monica had been removed from working in the Whitehouse.

She had no Whitehouse pass but happened to GET THRU A DOOR INTO A HALLWAY NEAR THE OVAL OFFICE.

Who opened that door who used their security card to let her in? This question has never been answered!

Why was the Secret Service? This question never answered either.

Obama better watch out keep it tight! They are dangerous.

[Gabrielle]

an intelligent and talented actress...I love her
so great she supports THE MAN

Thanks Scarlett

[ApolloniaCreed]

Some the the pure idiocy posted here is amazing... had say, George Clooney revealed he had bee corresponding with BO, the responses would have been much different. People would have just assumed he was thankful for a show of support or maybe an offer to host a fundraiser. But because she is a beautiful young woman you assume it must be something more sinister. *rolls eyes*

[FirstShirt]

"His replies have been thoughtful,"

I bet. You try getting a thoughtful response from him.

[ApolloniaCreed]

I get a thoughtful response every time he talks about diplomacy with our enemies. I don't require a handwritten note. Get over yourself *laughs*

[Glowcy]

ObamaNation supporter proxies respond to the massive e-mails that are sent to the senator.

Sorry to bust any bubbles of anybody who thinks that they are in direct contact with the senator.
