Online video has definitely played a major role in our lives, whether it's for personal entertainment, or if you happen to be famous, for publicity. Remember the 'I Got a Crush on Obama' video? Several months ago, Amber Lee Ettinger became a household name among Internet surfers as the Obama girl. In the video, she struts around in tight outfits while lip-synching a song about her love of Sen. Barack Obama. The video attracted millions of viewers and received attention from major U.S. news media. Obama's campaign denies any involvement in the video production.
When I saw the video, I thought it was funny and no harm was done. It's all for fun ... who cares if the Ettinger really supports Obama or not? It's all an act! However, in the Obama household, this video is not taken so well. The Senator's 6-year-old daughter has been asking about it , including saying 'Daddy already has a wife' to his wife. No response from Sen. Obama on how his wife reacts to their daughter's questions, but I wouldn't want to be in her shoes. He wishes that "people would think about what impact their actions have on kids and families."
Judge for yourself. To see the video, go to AOL Search and search for Obama girl -- click on the Video tab above the search box.

If the Obama's housewhole hasn't explain it by now, whether the child is a two year old or a twenty year old daughter,doesn't that say much about the lack of training and recognition of reality by all involved?
