Video: “I Got a Crush on Obama”

Universal health care reform
It maaaaaaaaaaakes me warm…

Kate Phillips has more details at The Caucus. I gotta tell ya, politics in the age of citizen media is going to be fun as hell — what’s next? Thanks to Burt Edwards for the tip-off.

    Funny idea…but, honestly, a little painful to watch.
