‘Obama Girl’ Dishes to Hannity on Viral Vid: I‘m Leaning ’Undecided’ and Was Paid to Do Video

Sean Hannity interviewed Amber Lee Ettinger on his show last night. Oh, you don’t recognize the name? Perhaps you know Ms. Ettinger by her “street name” – Obama Girl.
Remember her now?
Amber is the woman who blasted onto the political scene in 2007 after starring in the a music video “I’ve Got A Crush On Obama.” In the song, she professed her love for then-candidate Barack Obama. The original video generated over 24 million hits on the web and also gave Ettinger’s musical career a significant boost.
The meteoric rise from obscurity to fame and multiple talk show appearances, soon faded and Ettinger disappeared. However, in February she was back with another Obama-themed tune. This time the music video was a parody of a song “You’re The One That I Want“ from the musical ”Grease.”
Lightning did not strike twice for “Obama Girl.” The Grease parody clip has yet to reach 100,000 clicks on YouTube. Perhaps that contributed to Ms. Ettinger’s recent statement to the Daily Caller regarding her affection for the President, proclaiming that she was:
“not as excited as I was the last time, that’s for sure.”
Yesterday marked the five year anniversary of the uploading of “I’ve Got A Crush On Obama” and coincidentally, and as mentioned above, the original Obama Girl appeared on Sean Hannity’s show on Fox News. She was there to discuss recent reports stating that her “crush” on the President had faded.
In the interview, Ettinger doesn‘t really sound like she’s soured on Obama. She just seems to say that she’s not quite as taken with the President as she was in 2007, telling Hannity that like many former Obama supporters, she’s leaning more towards the “Undecided” column on voter surveys.
There was a curious moment in the interview when Amber reveals that the video was just a job, something that was originally done for laughs:
“I did it for comedy at first. I was paid to do this video. It was an acting job, but then it turned into something so much more. It was gratifying for me.”
Here is the entire interview from Hannity’s Wednesday night program.
Is she just distancing herself from Obama? Perhaps opening the door for the Romney campaign to cast her in a video?
Or, perhaps the Obama Girl is threatened by the recent release of Obama Boy’s video parodying her smash. That one has already generated more hits in five days than Eittinger’s latest release did in five months. Watch it on The Blog.
UPDATE:
We uncovered an old video — presumably from around 2008 — that shows Ettinger making a similar admission about being paid, albeit less forcefully:

Posted on June 14, 2012 at 12:43pmWait, let me read that again? She’s undecided? If she isn’t for the Barry then it must be Romney. Yeah, there are some minor players out there but undecided? That means she isn’t going to vote. Which is a good thing. If she doesn’t vote FOR Romney then it is half a vote for Barry. God Bless the USA.

Posted on June 14, 2012 at 12:25pmOut of all these stories on the blaze or any blog for that matter. Where is the presidential election? Where is Romney? We only have 5 months to the election and it seems to me that Romney has just gone the way of the do doe bird. It seems that both Romney and Obama are waiting for one another to put out the first negative add against one another. To me it is starting to get to a point where bad pliability for Romney might actually be good, due to the fact that he is absent from all news sources right now and has been for quite some time. The radio hosts don’t mention him, Blogs don’t acknowledge him, and Obama only mentions “his opponent” in speeches. Romney better start stepping up to the plate or he is going to lose this battle before it is even over. WHERE ARE YOU ROMNEY?

Posted on June 14, 2012 at 11:50amHere, Here….. That’s a big affermative to you sir…
Our poor country has been sliding off into the ocean since Possibly even before Clinton’s time, and it only seems to be getting worse…
I can’t tell you how sick I am to hear the “Get the youth Vote…” junk… The youth vote is always un-informed and ignorant…. Kids (and white guilt) got Das Fuhrer elected, because the people were to stupid to see what this guy was going to do to the country (when he was more than honest about his intentions, and all you had to do was, LISTEN TO WHAT HE SAID….)…
I have a feeling the morons of our country will come back out in force to vote for the “Cool” guy, instead of the guy who is best for the job..
I hope not, but I just get this feeling that things are only going from bad to worse, and I don‘t see the people putting the two and two together and realizing that Bush’s recession ended in 2009 (by the Obama Reich’s own admission…) and we are only still suffering because of Obama’s failed dictates…
If he gets elected again, I will seriously consider moving to Japan… Or anywhere else but here.. That‘s considering Obama doesn’t close the borders to out-going citizens…

Posted on June 14, 2012 at 11:08amWho cares? Hannity obviously cares. He thinks that the revelation that she was paid to do the Obama video will somehow count against Obama in 2012. News flash 1: nobody who backs Obama even watches Hannity’s show. He is preaching to the Fox choir, and she is just getting herself back on TV. News flash 2: nobody voted for Obama in 2008 because of Obama girl in the first place–there were plenty of other reasons to do so.

Posted on June 14, 2012 at 12:18pmThis woman whether paid or not articulates like a good majority of people who voted for Obama. No substance and skin deep mentality.
“Nobody who backs Obama even watches Hannity’s show” This may turn out to be the lefts biggest mistake. They in turn watch Mr. Ed, Cousin Keith, Aunt Maddow and let’s not forget the brilliant Uncle Al Sharpton. Check the ratings. Fox News audience is anywhere from 2 to 8 times more than any other liberal network out there…any segment of the day.

Many of them watch nothing else and depend solely on Fox for their “news.” These people don’t need Obama Girl to convince them not to vote for Obama. Hannity was basically self-pleasuring here, gleefully listening to this obvious airhead confess that she took money in 2008 and does not know whom to support today. He has a lot of air time to fill and this was apparently the best he could do yesterday.
