Obama losing support of 'Obama Girl'?

Who knew that Obama's #1 from 2008 is apparently having 2nd thoughts this time around? Of course she hasn't said that she isn't voting for Obama this time but being that she isn't showing the support this time as she did during his initial presidential campaign is a telling sign of the troubles Obama is having. A bad economy, bad jobs reports, issues with how the Justice Dept has handled the Fast & Furious scandal and the latest report showing the Romney campaign taking in quite a bit more money then the Obama campaign did in May doesn't bode well. In years past, an incumbent generally would have a significant lead in polls yet most polls currently are showing basically a dead heat. If the economy and jobs situation doesn't improve, Obama could be in serious trouble when November comes around.

The woman who rose to viral fame with "Obama Girl" videos praising Barack Obama's presidential candidacy in 2008 doesn't seem crazy about him these days.

Amber Lee Ettinger tells The Daily Caller website she is "not as excited as I was the last time, that's for sure."

Asked if she will vote for the president's re-election, the star of the video "Crush on Obama" said: "At this point I'm keeping that to myself.

"If I'm not making videos, I'm not sure it's anyone's business who I'm voting for this time around," Ettinger said.

More from The Daily Caller:

"I think in the next few months it's going to be very interesting to see what happens," Ettinger said. "I'd like to get out there and see what the young voters think about both candidates ... I might need to break out my flip cam and take a road trip."

Outside of the realm of politics, the one-time "Obama girl" is "going back to school full time, acting and developing [her] jewelry line."

Combating rumors that she didn't vote in the 2008 election, Ettinger told TheDC that she did indeed vote, in Pennsylvania.

I work with a lot of liberals in my line of work, a lot of them voted for O last time enthusisatically. Most have expressed disappointment over the last four years, those still working.

I see Romney getting a big boost during his convention and the choosing of his veep. If he chooses wisely, he only has to debate well with O (should be easy after all the debates he did already) and make only small mistakes to find himself in the White House. I like the choice of Rand Paul.
