Barack Obama has got a himself a groupie. "Hey B it's me says a buxom brunette," in an online video. A racy video is flying around the internet featuring a scantily clad woman singing his praises. It is the latest example of how individuals armed with a camera and creativity can influence an election, ABC News reports.

| Barack Obama Crush: Girl in Video: "I Got a Crush on Obama" |
It not only has her doing pole-dancing on the subway (clothed, mind you), but mashing up her bikini-clad bod next to those pix of Senator Barack Obama shirtless in his trunks from his Hawaii vacation last year. The five friends that developed the video say they have no affiliation with the Obama campaign. They spent a few thousand dollars of their own money to produce the video hoping, in part, to help one of their song writing careers.

The New York Times reports on the Caucus blog: There's a model involved, and the singer is Leah Kauffman, and from an account by ABCNews.com, it’s all innocent (we use that word loosely) and not opponent from another campaign. She’s known for doing a spoof off a Saturday Night Live skit with Justin Timberlake. Hers is called “My Box in a Box.” We’ll leave it to your memory to remember the SNL Christmas riff. The Obama camp told ABC it had nothing to do with this new one.
The music is totally pop, though the video is all chest and cleavage, and well, a pair of red boypants with OBAMA across the back. Yep. Mr. Obama complained about the attention paid to his pecs in those Hawaiian pix. We have to wonder what his campaign will ultimately have to say about this new fan, er, fan-tube.
Cue the rep™: According to Fox news that Obama camp has no comment.
