An unofficial and unauthorized music video promoting presidential candidate Barack Obama has surfaced on YouTube, which features a scantily clad woman singing a song entitled “Crush on Obama”. The video is a big hit and is fast becoming one of the most popular video clips on the Internet.
The woman featured on the video clearly endorses Barack Obama as the best Democratic presidential candidate, and there is no doubt the Obama camp would have loved the video had it not been for a half-clad woman performing a pole dance on the subway and kissing Obama’s photograph quite warmly.
Obama campaign was quick to distance itself from the video saying that it had nothing to do with it.
The creators of the video, Ben Relles and Leah Kauffman, say that they made the video for fun and had no intention of releasing it to coincide with the Obama’s campaign.
Ron Paul is ruling the Internet and YouTube, now Barack Obama is not far behind even if the video is not authorized. It is doing the job of spreading the word about Obama and is attractive to the younger generation, who do not find the content offensive.
The power of Internet should not be undermined in this day and age of technology, especially when all presidential hopefuls have their official websites and videos making rounds of cyberspace.
