			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>OK, BoomTown admits we love Obama Girl, but this video has to be the strangest one in <a href="http://kara.allthingsd.com/20080226/i-obamapologize/">the series</a> by <a href="http://www.barelypolitical.com">Barely Political</a>.</p>
<p>In this one just released, former Alaska Sen. <a href="http://www.gravel2008.us/">Mike Gravel</a>&#8211;who made a run at the Democratic presidential nomination and is now trying to be the Libertarian Party candidate and who is not, let us be honest, Obamalicious&#8211;sings with the now-famous Obama Girl.</p>
<p>Now when I say <em>sings</em>, I am using the term rather loosely, as you will see in the video.</p>
<p>Still, there is a game of Twister, some pie and an attempt at rap and dancing that would be painful if it were not so cute.</p>
<p>Also, my favorite, Gravel says at the end as Obama Girl walks away: &#8220;If you have second thoughts, I&#8217;m on Twitter!&#8221;</p>
<p>Well, <a href="http://kara.allthingsd.com/20080428/twitter-where-nobody-know-your-name/">someone outside of Silicon Valley has to be</a>.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the video:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here&#8217;s the latest &#8220;Obama Girl&#8221; video from the folks at <a href="http://www.barelypolitical.com">Barely Political</a>, in which our-lady-of-obsession takes aim at Sen. Barack Obama&#8217;s Democratic presidential candidate rival Sen. Hillary Clinton.</p>
<p>In it, she urges Clinton to stop being so mean to Obama and also to step down from the race in a kind of tsk-tsk style. There is some awkward digital hugging. </p>
<p>Unfortunately, it is meaner to Clinton than it should be. Unlike the first, the new video is a little over the top in not such a clever way and seems more sour rather than just sweetly goofy.</p>
<p>Could it be that even Obama Girl has become jaded by the political process? It&#8217;s an Obamanation!</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the video:</p>
