Obama girl Amber Lee Ettinger got Barack Obama a ton of free press earlier this year by striping down and singing "I got a crush on Obama." But now the Obama girl has switched her allegiance to Obama rival Hillary Clinton. "I have to say I'm very impressed with Hillary Clinton," she tells Steppin' Out magazine's Chaunce Hayden. "I watched the recent debates and I liked a lot of her answers!"
Obama Girl Amber Lee Ettinger Bails on Barack, Switches to Hillary
Uh-oh. Obama dissed his girl earlier this week. Rush and Molly reports that on Monday, Obama said he really wasn't that into Amber even though the model wears panties with his name on them in the video and proclaims his proposal for "universal health care reform … makes me warm."

The New York Daily News notes that though the spoof has gotten more than 3 million hits on YouTube, a concerned Obama said his 6-year-old daughter, Sasha, "asked Mommy about it. She said, ‘Daddy already has a wife.' … You do wish people would think about what impact their actions have on kids and families."
Ettinger tells the paper: "I didn't take it negatively. I think he's more concerned over his child's reaction to it. That's good parenting." Amber will be stripping off for Obama or Hillary or really anyone who want to look at Playboy. She's due to appear in a swimsuit spread in October's Playboy.
