Of course Obama's girls have heard of "Obama Girl." Who hasn't?The difference is, now the maturing girls are wondering aloud what the White star of the racy Web video means to their family.
In opening the campaign's volunteer headquarters Friday, Michelle Obama, wife of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, talked about the reaction to the video from their two daughters Sasha, 6, and Malia, 9.
While she kept her cool and made light of it, you know behind the scenes the sistah is seething!
"I tell them that it's, you know, the way people are sometimes," said Michelle Obama. She was referring to "I Got A Crush On Obama," a music video created by an aspiring model and actress named Amber Lee Ettinger, aka Obama Girl.
The song, which has lines like "Universal health care reform, it makes me warm," has gotten more than 2.5 million hits and 7,500 comments since being posted last month on YouTube, the online video-sharing site. Obama said she and her husband reassured their daughters, after Sasha asked, "Daddy, you have Mommy, right?"
"I think they were sort of like, 'What is this? And what does it mean?' But you know, that's the nature of having ... children in politics," Michelle Obama said.
If you were the Black woman in this situation, would you play it like Michelle?
