What with all the serious noting of the historical, societal and universal significance of the swearing-in of President-elect Barack Obama in a few short hours, here’s some less important (but funnier) ruminating in the latest video from Obama Girl.

Online phenom Obama Girl got her 15 minutes of fame with a viral video hit from the folks at BarelyPolitical.com, all about her crush on Obama when he was only a candidate.

Good pick, as it looks like Obama Girl has got at least four more years of spoofing ahead of her.


comments so far. Add yours.
