‘Obama Girl’ Is Back, but Her Crush Has Faded

Astrid Stawiarz/Getty Images(WASHINGTON) — The Obama Girl is back, but the sexy, singing YouTube sensation who had “a crush on Obama” in 2008 is less smitten with President Obama than she was with candidate Obama.
Amber Lee Ettinger, the actress who plays Obama Girl, teamed up with Iman Crosson, the actor who plays YouTube’s foremost Obama impersonator, Alphacat, for a Grease-themed video in which the president tries to woo back his old online crusher.
The song-and-dance number is a parody of the Grease tune “You’re The One That I Want.”
“You better step up, because I need that man, if my old crush on you was true,” Obama Girl sings in front of a tie-dyed background before asking, “You want our vote?”
To which Obama, aka Alphacat, responds: “I’ma want your vote. … So much left, so much left of me to do.”
This is the second YouTube video Ettinger has put out this election, but neither of them has come close to the viral popularity of her 2008 “I’ve Got A Crush On Obama” video, which has more than 24 million views on YouTube.
