Who's got a crush on Obama?

I'm the first to admit that I'm not that politically inclined. I know some will get offended when I say this, but, I'm a little apathetic concerning political issues. Politics can be overwhelming and, for the most part, I choose to just stay out of it.

Well, that was what I used to think. I thought politicians were a bunch of old, white men pretending they care about the well being of others. Until I heard about a certain video called "I Got a Crush on Obama." It features a seductive girl dancing around to lyrics about Obama and his political views. Grabbing the attention of millions of people, the online video obviously raised many eyebrows, but it also earned respect for its politically informed messages. Posted by "Obamagirl", the video has been viewed over four million times on YouTube.

Due to the overwhelming political indifference of many of America's youth, organizations have been doing whatever they can in an attempt to grab the attention of eligible voters. Groups like Rock the Vote and MTV's Choose or Lose have made it a point to educate young Americans to research candidates and vote as informed citizens.

With public supporters like Leonardo DiCaprio, Madonna, P.Diddy, Rachel Bilson and Adam Brody, Rock the Vote has purposely shot photo shoots with the sole intention of catching young people's eye. While they are certainly not overly racy, bare midriff and mini-skirts are an effective way of getting a message across. Even if it is political.
