— Ace She hasn't got a crush on Obama:
Amber Lee Ettinger -- the buxom sensation who lip-synched about her love for then-candidate Barack Obama -- said she wishes he spent his first year in office more fo cused on fixing the abysmal economy."I think he's doing an OK job," said Ettinger, whose original "Crush on Obama" video, first shown in 2007, has had more than 16.5 million views on YouTube.
"I know he's getting a lot of flak for things that he's not doing," she told The Post. "In my opinion, I feel like he should be focusing a lot more on jobs and the economy."
Ettinger, 28, said that even though she doesn't have health care -- "I can't afford it" -- she still thinks Obama should have waited to tackle the thorny legislation that has been blamed for the devastat ing Democratic loss of Ted Kennedy's Senate seat.
"It's definitely a distraction because of the economy being as bad as it is," said the Jersey City resident.
"He did create some jobs, but most of them were government jobs and that doesn't really help the middle class. But it helps a bit," said Ettinger.
Her grade for Obama: B- minus.
If even ObamaGirl is giving him a B-...
In related news, Sasha and Malia give him a C+ and say "he should have included tort reform in his health care package."
Thanks to AHFF Geoff.
Et Tu, NPR Poll? 49% approve, 48% disapprove, even in NPR's poll, which oversamples Lexington, MA and the Castro in San Francisco.
Oh: And checking Hot Air, I see I should have scrolled down -- 44% GOP, 39% Dem in generic Congressional.

American society is clogged up with useless 'celebrities' like this one.
And the girl, too.

Hey, liberals have their priorities, ya know.

a) I expect she means "comprehensive health insurance" and not "health care."
b) The bosom was a couple years' worth of premiums.

Y'all need to pay for my health insurance so I don't have to give up my weekly massage/facial/ mani-pedi, monthly color-n-highlights, and Jimmy Choos. Haters.

NPR polls are awesome!!!
Posted by: taylork at January 27, 2010 07:02 AM (4jZ56)
16.5 million youtube viewers and seemingly countless interviews and appearances and the dumb bitch can't afford to buy a health insurance plan?If she doesn't have health insurance it's because either she doesn't want it or she chooses to spend her money on more important things like shoes and partying

"He did create some jobs, but most of them were government jobs".
At least she knows the difference between jobs and phoney-baloney-jobs. She also knows what is the primary responsibility of a peacetime President. She's about where I was at age 19.
At 25, when she did the video, she was about where I was at age 7.

She should hook up with a married Congressman or Senator, and then get taken care of for life. *coughRielleHuntercough*

No, no, no. The nice newsman on TV this morning told me that his approval rating was 56%. He wouldn't lie would he?

She really does seem like the type suited for "kept woman" status. I would have thought her internet fame could have been parleed into some sort of income...at least decent enough to buy basic health insurance.
Then again, maybe she should come here to Dallas. I believe there are more titty bars per capital here than any place in the U.S. I'm sure she would become gainfully employeed in no time.

barbelle 37, lmao.
(BTW, I was an autumn baby, so I spent most of 7-year-oldedness in first grade.)

Have the found religion?
No, they believe in their liberal souls that the answer for the Dems woes is to lurch even further left and they are creating a poll to scare Dems into doing just that. Of course, this would be like taking rat poison to sure a belly-ache, but I digress.

I think she is especially retarded for not capitalizing on her body and good looks while she's got them, to profit from them and buy a fucking health care policy like the rest of us fugly proles do.

No shit. I would gladly pay $20 for a lapdance from someone built like her. If she's too good for that kind of work, then she should give up on being pretty and start using that underdeveloped noggin.

Shoot, I counted on my fingers and everything to make sure I got it right.
(I was 7 in 3rd grade 'cause I finished 1st and 2nd in the same year.)

What a shame, such a hottie about to wear Obama bus tracks as her new tattoo.

Ettinger, 28, said that even though she doesn't have health care -- "I can't afford it"
When people in this age group tell me this, I ask them how much it costs. They usually just say "a lot".
So I ask, "did you call Blue Cross and get a quote?"
So far I've never gotten a yes to that question.

49 -- That's because they're full of BS as I'm sure you know. It's the standard crap I see all the time; "Oh, I can't afford insurance, now excuse me while I put on my full-length leather coat and get into my sportscar..."
Now the government is trying to force the responsible people to pay for other people's lack of responsibility. It's disgusting.
Posted by: barbelle at January 27, 2010 07:48 AM (qF8q3)
I think they mean she doesn't have health INSURANCE.
There is a difference.

How much you want to bet she pays $200 a month for full cable tv/internet, $500 a month eating (and drinking) out, etc etc... But she can't afford an insurance premium.

I love you but you most certainly can afford it and once my bill passes you'll either spring for it or I'll send your lovely ass to jail.

I remember the original "Obama girl" video she did, there was about a 2-3 second shot of her in a skimpy bikini. Yeah, you'd hit it. Every moron here would, except maybe Gabe. And maybe one of two of the moronettes would like to hit her, too.
