Obama Girl Is Back, And She's Ready For That 3 A.M. Phone Call

Perhaps feeling threatened by the hotness of Bill Richardson's beard, Obama Girl is back with a brand-new video wherein she once again declares herself Barack Obama's most devoted fan wearing the least clothes. In this installment, O-Girl pleads with Hillary Clinton to stop the negative campaigning (because it is so totally all her) and join her and Obama in uniting the party.* Funnier moments: Table-dancing before Hillary in the diner where the Clintons shot that Sopranos spoof; comforting her in that infamous tear-up moment; importing Bill Clinton for a musical cameo; dancing with Obama on Ellen; being in a bikini, a pair of shortie-shorts and a negligee. Also, fairly wicked lyrics invoking powerful arguments from delegate math to Dukakis ("These attacks are insane/They just help John McCain"). Clearly, the fate of the Democratic party lies in her hands! Decide whether "her" refers to Hillary or Obama Girl and then exercise your democratic right to watch the video — at this point it's more like a civic duty, really.



Note that this is Obama Girls' first video since she was featured on Saturday Night Live. Also note that this is Obama Girl's first video since "It's Raining McCain" but we're guessing the two are not related. Also note her alpha-assertion of pride of place: She was there before Chris Matthews felt a thrill run up his leg, there before Bill Richardson cut his vacation short to come back and endorse, there before will.i.am and the gang sang that yes, they could. Obama Girl, pioneer!

God bless BarelyPolitical. They do a good job at exposing what I like to call "Stuffy Whiny Kleenex Liberals". The people who think the words "fun" "sexy" and "politics" should never mix.

Also Leah Kaufman (the voice, writer, and producer) is a hero for young liberals. Her production is brillliant, if the DNC doesn't hire her up it just proves how out of touch we are.

These videos do the job, but for the real stuff you have to see this amazing impersonator of Hillary. Why she isn't famous is beyond me and everyone who comments on her videos!! Really smart stuff, perfect for this crowd. You guys should be covering her now. She's gonna hit very soon! www.youtube.com/thathillaryshow

This is offensive to women on so many levels. And yeah---it's so cool to be dressed like a bimbo and acting like you're in a video when the nation is having some of the most intellectual open dialoug it's had in years.

This is another product of this new "look-at-me" generation that is growing up on reality TV, Youtube, facebook, and an American Idol mantality. Fame at all costs.

While I support Sen. Obama until the glorious end, I wish the Obama girl would go away. She didn't bother making the time to vote (or making sure she could vote). Why does she deserve ANY attention? There are genuine supporters who are organizing, raising funds, donating... I'd appreciate it if she'd just go away... and take HIllary (or Bill) with her.

She didn't even vote for Obama in her state's primary because "she didn't feel well." So just like Obama, she's all talk, no action.

Indeed! She's past the firewall and can't be stopped, and now she's melting the mainframe.

But shhhhh, don't say her name out loud over here ... you know how some old timers at the DNC get all upset when they see the kidZ having a little fun. Beore ya know it granny and gramps are gonna slip those bifocals on and post up here about how she's a shameless hussy, ought to be stopped, these kids today got no respect, etc. etc.

She is fine, though, isn't she? Mmmm, MMMMMmmm!!

There's a lotta talent behind this supergirl, too ... somebody ought'ta explain it all to Hillary (since she can't seem to hear Bill Richardson or Chris Dodd), and maybe she'll get the message and bow out gracefully with honor intact.

I see the Obama girl as a mediocre talent hitching her wagon to a rising star. Her 15 minutes of fame will fade quickly. There is real change in the atmosphere and soon the sex sells nonsense will end too.

As a 48 year old woman that knows what is to live and work in a sexist environment and culture I find Obama girl and any other young woman who uses her body to sell a product hard to digest, It is sad that they don't see what is wrong with being objectified. Having said that, I will add that I find it disingenuous for women (some my age) to vote for a woman just because she is a woman. I want a woman to be president just as much as I want any other minority to be president but they have to be of higher intelligence, quality and better people than the white men that have been ruining this country for the last I don't know how many yrs. I am a feminist and Hillary is not my pick. sorry, this election is for Obama. He seems to have much more of what is needed to qualify for president. I call all my sisters to try to use your brains and be objective on the issues. Thank you

On a more serious note, I would not be very surprised if, in the more probable event of, Hillary losing the Democratic nomination she ends up running as an independant or something of that sort. The Clintons will not stop at anything to gain power once again, and it sadly evident that together with her husband they feel that they are somehow entitled to the presidency.

Good thing plenty of Americans seem to disagree though.

Get real. They are not that self-absorbed. What the larger point is that they are not dumb. They know that no one will support a candidate if they just lost in a primary this big. It's not logicial.

And you post this? ...but not my comment ?
As an Obama supporter I think this girl should be given a Ceast and Desist order( an order of a court or government agency to a person, business or organization to stop doing something upon a strong showing that the activity is harmful ) from a court of law.She is an embarrassment to an other wise above board and dignified campaign. ...and some voters that don't have a brain ....might think she is paid by the Obama organization. How ridiculous she makes herself look when she didn't even have the sense to vote for Obama...DUH This could also be a covert smear campaign to hurt Barack like the one leveled at Harold Ford in Tennessee. ...Either way she should be stopped.

True 'dat, and she's bringing the hotness too. So who are all these fun-haters coming out of the woodwork over Obama Girl? Are they Republicans or just humorless DNC Democrats?

Pretty soon they'll be cracking on Stewart and Colbert for trivializing and embarrassing progressives: "Gawd DAMN those people with a sense of humor, don't they know we're all wearing hair shirts 24/7 during the campaign? They should be stopped!"

Anyway, there's plenty of talent behind Barack's favorite superhero - sorry, conspiracy theorists - and they're set up for all to see over at http://www.barelypolitical.com .

Oh and you grouches, isn't it time for a nice big glass of prune juice right about now? The kids are alright, they're just havin' some fun and doing a good thing with their mad skillz. And if you leave, we can start happy hour over here ...

The "progressives" are running sexist BS crap for their guy. But no surprise-- that's the essence of their whole campaign - "vote for the empty suit because he's a young black guy and older women are so icky!" If there were a "satirical" video showing Obama as a pimp, or gangsta or eating fried chiken you'd all be indignant. What happened to the so-called left? Have you been lying all along?

I watched this video again and couldn't find the reference to Clinton being an old woman that you are referring to. Not that I've followed every word being said, but I can't recall anywhere in this campaign someone referring to Clinton as an old woman, (your post excepted) but I'm not beyond being educated so please show me where people are saying Clinton shouldn't be president because she is an old woman.

(Obama did once slyly suggest it by saying "Clinton isn't too much of an old woman to be president... as far as I know. Oh wait that was Clinton playing on racial and religious intolerence to suggest Obama was a secret Muslim)

So, she wants another 15 minutes of fame and people are actually giving it to her. And, didn't she say she didn't vote for Obama in her home state? Hmmmm... Maybe she had hoped someone would offer her a record deal or something based on what she feels is her "talent." Now, she needs another 15 minutes of fame to show them they were wrong to pass her over??? GOOD GRIEF!

Am I the ONLY one with working eyesight? Obama Girl is NOT pretty, she has fake big breasts, whoopee doo, that takes away from looking at the rest of her. Even with tons of makeup, she looks plain. There are TONS of natural beauties out there that don't need a stitch of makeup.. but I guess beauty is determinate on the size of hooters these days... sickening.
She was just in the right place at the right time, otherwise, she'd STILL be a "nobody", too bad she had to ride on Obama's coattails to get noticed.

Of course that's why she has hitched her wagon to Barack Obama's campaign.....because she couldn't get noticed any other way. If she had any real talent she would already have a movie or record deal. She even got play on Hardball yesterday because she had Chris Mathews in her newest video. I voted for Obama but this kind of publicity he doesn't need. It sends the wrong message.

Its amazing how Obama Girl's videos seem to infuriate the Hillary faction. Please, lighten up.
Its having some fun and being satrical in an increasingly poisonous atmosphere. Didn't you find Bill Clinton's solo spot hilarious. Obama girl is not a whore and, oh yeah, she's not Judas either.
These videos do play to the younger generation - in massive numbers, and although they're meant to be humorous they do reflect many of the sentiments of the young people who represent our future. These people have not been convinced that Hillary is entitled to be president anymore than Obama is - they're merely responding to someone who has the incredible ability to communicate hope for a better world. Where would we have been if there hadn't been a leader like FDR who also had that ability? Being the president is more than being a CEO and it should not be something that is dynastic - something passed down through a powerful family.

VERY cool video!

I love how she "Forrest Gumps" herself into major media events with some of the players and events from this year's campaign.

And think of how nice it will be to have the media discussing a raven-haired beauty during this next news cycle who ISN'T Spitzer's call girl.

Thanks, Obama Girl!
