I emailed Sen. Obama last July. I'm an Illinois resident, and asked his position on upcoming legislation on a Medicare issue directly related to cancer treatment I'm receiving. Low and behold, 6 months later I received a response. However the response was a "canned letter" that could have been sent to any of his constituents, and did not address or even mention the issue. Why does he have time to communicate with movie stars that are non-residents of the state he represents, but not have time to discuss issues with his constituents? He was elected to represent the citizens of Illinois, but can't seem to do his job. Sen. Obama is collecting a salary but has failed to perform the duty for which he is paid. I don't think his dedication to duty meets the requirements of a head of state or a commander-in-chief.

I think is a rather refreshing short new peice. Something quite positive. I think further goes to show that Barack has some personality and is a people person. Barack really cares about the middle guy and everyone else!

Can't wait till he's the President and things start CHANGING!

Yea Barack!

I am one of Obama's actual senatorial constituents in Illinois. I have emailed him several times over issues. All I get back is some generic response generated by his staff. Is this actress getting more than that? I would hate to think that the Senator is actively making time to shmooze with Hollywood celebrities while essentially ignoring (Or at best patronizing) the citizens whom he represents. That doesn't seem to be much change from othr politicians.

Ron Larson:

Very eloquent post, albeit verbose. Too bad it still couldn't conceal your fundamentalist mindset.

I am a Hollywood blonde actress too, and I have a crush on him too!

Go OBAMA!!!

I would reply to all of Scarlett's emails in a heart beat.

I would certainly be more likely to have a crush on Obama than McBush!!

In case you didn't notice, she helped to make a music video, "Yes we Can", with Will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas. Check it out on youtube. It went viral, almost 8 million hits. This helped immensely with the youth vote, remember this is a political strategy, and a smart one for Obama to use. She is seen as a smart, successful female superstar. And like Leonardo, and Brad, she has consciousness and uses her fame to forward what she believes in, you know, artists realizing that they can do more than just make money and tabloids rich. It would be great if all 'stars' began to be involved in the change that their country so desperately needs right now. And it helps with former Hillary supporters, ones younger than Elizabeth Taylor anyway.

My question is …. how did she get his private email address?!?!!?

I would email her back too. She is hot!!!

Who is this woman? Why should we care about her?

The woman who starred in the move "A Good Woman" is a good woman and recognizes a "Good Man" in Barack Obama.

> What a selfish bubbleheaded reason to support someone for POTUS.

As opposed to the brilliant and insightful HRC supporters who are going to vote McCain out of spite? Well, to his credit, McCain finally did take his referring to HRC as a "female dog" off his web site so that must make him a gem of a catch.

Did you hear where Obama Supporter Roland Martin wants America to change voting until the weekend. In our state you can vote all day Tuesday from 6:30am till 7:30 pm. You can vote 2 weeks early at your local voters registration office and a couple of Saturdays included. That would give everyone time to vote. I guess since Obama is running the DNC now he wants control of the elections. Scary. He controlled the DNC meeting which took away the votes of MI and FL and gave him delegates when he was not on the ballot..

My People,

If they would only listen to us. I am glad I am not the only one that finds this insulting.

Oooops sorry for the 'fat finger' above – I meant re Bill – surely he could have done better than Monica L.

And I meant Campbell not Cambell……sorry

AND HOW THE HECK IS THIS NEWS???

This story is nothing more than a "CNN is in the tank for Obama" piece of fluff. What a joke.

I was hoping that CNN would try to keep their reporting, at least somewhat, neutral for the general election. With stories like this one and all the others like it on CNN as well as CNN.com I see that you've taken sides.

Shame on you CNN.

Hillary Voters for McCain-2008.

Hmmmm….I was a nobody and now I'm in the limelight and a leggy blonde movie star with lots of money (hmmmmm….I might need some) is emailing me. Maybe I'll handle this one myself, thanks aides.
DUH!
Also, doesn't she (and everyone else know) that politicians HIRE people to do this for them!!???

A hollywood Bimbo who likes to be an Obama Sweetie- or hopes to be.

And you all call HRC supporters ignorant morons.

Obama has always been responsive to emails even before running for POTUS. I live in Illinois and although I didnt agree with his response to the question/comment I sent him, he did respond, and quickly I might add.

He does appear to believe in maintainig open communication with his constituents. So I have on occasion received a couple of emails directly from BO in response to specific questions, as a constituent in Illinois.

This is, I'd bet, a big difference between him and say a John Mccain or a lot of other politicians and I am not anyone of note. Just a teacher.

CNN: Can you please find out if McBush is still emailing the woman he had affair with during 2000 compaign?

are you implying he is cheating in Michelle with Scarlett ???
what are you saying CNN. He's a cheater like Bill Clinton is?

Are you trying TO MAKE black women NOT vote cause he's tiping with a white woman!!!!! OR are you telling white women & men see blackey likes white women !!!!
you suck CNN, I see exactly where this is going. YOU ARE SO BIASED..

Watch it SUCKAS

A hollywood Bimbo who likes to be an Obama Sweetie- or hopes to be.

And you all call HRC suppoters ignorant morons.

Look at these comments! Looks that the small provocation from CNN with this kind of information works! These sexual comments show that people miss this kind of events. No sexual information from White House for the last 8 years – another big failure of Bush administration.. Clinton was more productive in this area.. And keep in mind, if McCain win, no sexual information will be available at least for the next 4 years. Obama – 2008!

obama better be careful remember the lurid details by gennifer flowers and lady jones now selling on the internet for 1.99cents.

Real Women back HRC.

Judy (above) r u hot? If so maybe you should have faxed your pic too!

To Gary,
You seem to think the young are lost. Who was it that got us into the mess we are in? Everyone born prior to 1970 from what I can tell.

The young generation are our only hope because they are not plagued by the prejudices and ignorance of the last few generations.

He is Michelle's!

Just watched Obama blame the credit card companies for Americans being in debt. Didn't the card holder got to the store and make the purchase the he/she couldn't afford? Is it the Democratic Party's position that Americans should spend irresponsibly or that spending more than you can afford is Visa's or Mastercard's fault?

Worse, Mr. Obama blames McCain and "Washington" for allowing credit card issuers to have complicated contracts. Wasn't Mr. Obama in the United States Senate–in "Washington" while credit card contracts got longer and more complicated to understand?

He acts like he just got here from another planet and has discovered problems that he apparently missed while he was in the Senate.

Why doesn't the media, say CNN for example, challenge his approach
and this pretense that he hasn't been as much a part of the problems he now decries as the people he now blames?

I'd like to welcome all the Hillary Clinton supporters to the republican party and thank you for coming to your senses and backing the best candidate, John McCain.

Together we can help reverse Roe v. Wade, stop gays from getting married, and keep fighting the good fight in Iraq for as long as it takes.

Good to see democrats finally waking up and becoming more conservative!

Well, at least when this woman starts stalking Obama, he has a full squad of Secret Service to wrestle her to the ground before she tries to boil his rabbit.

Doesn't this woman realize she's probably actually communicating with one of Obama's staff? I get emails "from Obama" all the time. I'm not dumb enough to actually believe he's sitting down and writing them.

And CNN put this up as "news" because???????

I'm an Obama supporter, but can we keep the articles on this news website newsworthy? There's not much space here. Can we stay on topic and read about what Obama and McCain are talking about?

What is her email adress! I'd definitely respond to her emails and phone calls. She is beautiful.

I think that everytime Sen. McCain says "MY FRIEND'S" Sen. Obama supporters should donate to the campaign.

i thought it was going to say nancy pelosi

Yeah i wonder what obama's wife thinks about him taking the time to email this broad, or better yet if she even knew about it til just now. Sounds kind of shady to me.

Obama's Monica Lewinsky? Well at least he has better taste that Bill! Monica and the rest of the tarts that Bill was with were pigs (looks-wise)…surely he could have don't better or is his judgement really that bad!

Me? I would have tried to woo Cambell Brown

Nice that he is compared to Kennedy so much. Let's not add a Marilyn Monroe scandal to the miserable right wing Hate group…
I have perfect confidence in the integrity of this man.
I am slightly jealous that as an avid and early supporter that e-mails and blogs often I have not heard from himm Then again, I don't look like Scarlet ! I am not only worried, I am jealous

SHE DID NOT SAY NOR DID SHE EVEN IMPLY THAT SHE HAD A CRUSH ON HIM !!!THAT IS BAD SENSATION JOURNALISM CNN!!!SHAME ON YOU!!!

once you've had black, you never go back

people, it's very simple. a second war with Iran, more money down the tubes, increased debt from China, or…. finally someone who wants to put the U.S. interests first. WOW, imagine that!!!!! and by the way, i saw obama's speech, he did not say 57 states, ANON. he very clearly said 57 contests, which is very true. let's all pay attention and only make statements based on FACTS. Right McCain???

Dems '08
"would support an obama/hillary ticket, as long as she's the type of VP al gore was"

I. Macias, Jr.

Shallow actors, you mean like Ronald, Chuck, and Arnold. Or is shallowness OK only if you're a Republican.

Yesterday's headlines "McCain will veto every beer!" Today, Obama is emailing Scarlett. Does anyone have suggestions on where I can find real news? This is the kind of thing I expect to find on perezhilton's website, not a respected news outlet. Come on!!

This isn't news, but I understand. There is nothing else to report on. Oh yea, and Obama wins in a landslide!!!!!!!!!

Dan Boren looks like he's going to get caught in that

restroom in Minnesota..

he needs some attention

and CNN needs some contratrian sour grape political news

Obama reaches out to everyone. I love this man! He has my vote coming November. People who criticize his racists to me and it is sad how comes into play. All you can do is pray for the small minded ignorant people. He didn't do anything wrong. He won fair and square.

All I can say is Obama 2008! I love you Obama! GOD bless you and your family!
————————–

Yes Gog Bless you and your family that are only NOW proud of their country for the first time in their lives. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR UNPATRIOTIC FAMILY.

Why in the world is an actress with a tremendous amount of access to the media surprised that Obama would have emailed her back. what an idiot. He is definitely media savy. And no, I don't intend to vote for him. I just find it ironic that she is surprised. I did actually think she was halfway intelligent. Now I see that I was completely wrong.

Obama has been playing up the Obama/Kennedy link since the onset.

So goody, now Obama has a link with an actress of the type similar to Marilyn Monroe (as a nod to the Kennedy/Monroe link). He has already linked himself with Ted kennedy and put Carolyn Kennedy into his VP search group. Michelle Obama wears purple a lot, with a nod to Camelot as well which has been noted by the media. This country hasn't gotten over the tragedy of the Kennedy years, and the dream is that it can be re-created somehow. Obama is keen on this sly advertising angle.

So wake up people….Obama is as much of an actor as anyone in Hollywood!!!

NEVER REALIZE JO HAS A POLITICAL AWARENESS. THATS GOOD TO HAVE YOUNG PEOPLE INVOLVE IN THE PROCESS. STOP THE MADNESS. VOTE OBAMA

Obama loves people.

I have a crush on him too !! so what !?

leave him alone.. Obama rocks !

OH BOY

JUST CUTE

UNLESS IT IS BILL

of course he emails her. She's a famous actress.

If he emailed me regularly that'd be noteworthy.

I'm an Obama fan,but I hate spin like this.

Wake up!
Don't you know he has a huge entourage following him?
Does he even bother to write his own speeches?

Regarding the comment by john williams, I actually am a rocket scientist and I will be voting for Obama.

What are you implying CNN?

DISGUSTING!!!!!

Sure,
and I am sure he would e-mail me if I looked like her or had her precieved status.

Since, I am only one of the little people I guess I will have to wait for the movie.

I am feeling diabetic with all this smack.

Way to go CNN, make Obama look like a joke by reporting stupid stuff like this.

Ron Larson

Move some where else…say Germany 1939.

For me the choice is clear Roe – Wade or possibly honor killings.
All the children need to grow up and start to value their FREEDOM !

If you were not an actress and a woman would he bother with you?

Ofcourse Obama will reply to you Mrs. Johnson! No doubt about that! you are a celebrity and connected to a huge voting bloc in Hollywood as well as holding fundraiser events!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do you guys think that if I email him now, he will respond???

ofcourse not!!!

i think CNN should do quality news reporting and abandon tabloid reporting

Will in Richmond, VA June 11th, 2008 11:52 am ET

If she was crushing on McCain, we know he'd already have her phone number and be booking his private jet to go "connect" with her. He'll just wait for Cindy to catch a cold or something.

Ain't that right? How's your first wife doing McCain?
======================

LOL, why don't you ask Obama how Larry Sinclair is doing??????

Doesn't anyone remember a few months ago Ms. Johannson was reported right here on CNN to have stated she "was in love" with Barack Obama?

Still for Hill

You are not. You're just another gooper playing the role of agitator.

I don't understand why if I Choose not to vote for Obama, that makes me a racist? That Obama supporters, is why you are pissing off the former Clinton supporters. I am a Democrat, who supported Clinton however, for the good of the Country, NOT THE PARTY, I will vote Democrat. I could care less if the Democratic Nominee was a Blind, Deaf, Pink He/She, as long as it is a Democrat. Well, Except for Scary Pelosi, then I would stay home. She is too much for me.
———————–
THIS IS WHAT IS WRONG WITH AMERICA!!!! VOTING ALONG PARTY LINES MUST STOP!!! We need to start voting with our heads, and sto letting the DNC and RNC tells us who to vote for. You don't for a democrat because you are a democrat, and you don't vote for a republican because you arer a republican! YOU VOTE FOR WHO YOU THINK IS BEST QUALIFIED TO RUN THE GREATEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD!!!

Political Groupies aren't new *or* news

Don't worry, McCain will soon win her over with that charming smile of his… yeeeeeargggh…

I HAVE A CRUSH ON Nancy Pelosi.

Scarlett I liked you better when you were dating Josh. Starlets are always complaining about fans stalking them , yet,it looks like she's stalking Obama. I am sure Obama would not be returning emails to regular looking women,as a matter of fact the secret service would probably be keeping a watchful eye on them. I guess he is an elitist after all. By the way, if some pretty young thing would have made that remark about John Edwards or dare I say Bill, the media would have behaved differently. You are constantly showing your true colors.

He's more like Clinton than I thought. Nothing like a good cigar.

Did he himself replied to her or one of his staff members?

uh-oh…

here comes the kryptonite…

k.

And this is news? Meh….someone needs an ego check.

CNN,

How about you talk about McCain's withdrawl of troops in Iraq "not being too important"? This guy definitly doesn't know foreign policy. We can have a presence in Iraq and not have some level of violence. It's not like Germany or Japan. These middle eastern nations just don't operate like that. Idiot.

Nobody can get a crush on McSame even Cindy.

Wow, look at the bitter life that HRC and McCain supporters seem to live! Amazing how a little article like this sets them back down their bitter and miserable path. Guess you people forgot what it's like to actually be happy about things and not have every little item make you angry!

Mo wonder he does not have solutions to the economy. He's too busy answering e-mails from young starlets. Reminds me of Marilyn Monroe.

Enough already!

Uh – what straight man wouldn't e-mail Scarlett? Look out Michelle!

Hey, Dummy
You think your kazillions of dollars might have something to do with it???

What a selfish bubbleheaded reason to support someone for POTUS.

Sarah,

Clayton from Atlanta,

Thank you for sharing your feelings. I, like Sarah, have a huge crush on Barack, and like you and your wife, my husband and I are both huge fans, except I am the bigger fan!

I think it is just the way Barack speaks to everyone, on their level, he just inspires anyone who really takes the time to listen to him.

And no it is not a CRUSH in a romantic sense, it really is difficult to explain. It's more like you've known this person all your life, he just makes you feel that you really matter in the big scheme of things.

I am a 65 year old white Canadian, and I am simply amazed at the way Barack really inspires people of all ages, but the way that he has inspired the young people, and the way that he has moved them to come out and exercise their right, to participate in the election process is something that I will always marvel at!

Good luck folks we are rooting for you!

I BET MONEY HANNITY IS GOING TO MAKE SOMETHING BAD ABOUT THIS ONE. AND WATCH THE GOP GOES AFTER HER COMPUTER TO SEE WHAT OBAMA MUST HAVE SAID. THIS IS GOING TO BE A LONG SUMMER

Scarlett Johansen is "amazed". Oh PLEASE!!!! I faxed Sen. Obama information re: the student loan crisis. NO RESPONSE! I am just a lowly financial aid professional with concerns re: educating the next generation. Maybe if I was a starlet he would have cared!!!!

CNN why the crush title.

I did not read anywhere in this article that Ms. Johansson actually used the word crush.

i am a huge barack obama supporter i wrote him last week and got a good immediate response in about 48 hrs.

I have yet to receive a resposne form him- No good looks and no money to donate.
I sent an email also to DNC to get Howard Dean to resign and clean house, the response I get is to make a donation. Trying getting them to stop sending you emails- its a challenge

I really have to wonder why this even made the news. Also just because you are "famous" I don't think you should use the media to voice your opinion concerning personal preferences to the general public. There are people that will either buy/change their lifestyle just because their "famous idol" has said this or done that. Take this election for example. "Famous people" endorse this candidate or that candidate and people follow. But if Joe Brown was to get on TV or in the news and said I'm backing this candidate who would give a hoot? We are as a whole influenced by the media everyday in just about every aspect of our lives. But to me there are a few places namely religion and politics where our decisions should be our own and not someone "famous" making it for us.

Is this news? Some B-list actress whose work is mediocre at best with a name and Obama emails her, and she goes public with it? Does pandering to the public, and clogging up our eyes, know no limits? What next? A published email with Jane Fonda and Tom Hanks and then Sinbad and Obama starring in a comedy about two men searching for that last undereducated white blue collar voter in the Ozarks whose ballot will decide who's the next president of the United States?

Why is this a story? Celebrities votes count as mine as mine do and yet we dont' have stories about Obama or anybody else for that mater emailing regular people. News please!

Gee,,,Obama takes the time to correspond with a pretty actress…what a humanitarian the guy must be!

I think a lot of people are missing the point in this one. I think the point of this article is to prove that Obama is an ordinary guy that is decent at his core. I think it is great to have a President that doesn't think he is almighty and too good to reach out to his supporters.

And my goodness there are A LOT of haters on today. I want to say to all of the Hillary democrates that keep threatening to vote for McCain…Do you really think you are hurting Obama? The Obama's are successful, rich and have a good life. Yes they will be disappointed if they lose but at the end of the day they will still be successful and rich. The question is…will you?

I am a 29 year old, African-American lawyer. The economy sucks BUT I am doing well, thank God. Most Obama-voters make over 50K a year, most Hillary voters do not. Hillary voters you all will be screwed more than anyone else if McCain gets elected. Have you really listened to McCain's economic plan? He wants to continue to provide tax breaks for corporations and continue to cut them breaks even though they are sending jobs over seas. THAT MAKES NO SENSE.

I am a lawyer and yes I want Obama to win, but I am a professional so my job is safe. But all you blue-collar democrates that are voting for McCAin because you are mad that Hillary didn't win, you are basically voting to lose your job. Please educate yourself before you make a silly, emotional decision!

What a load.

She truly is a great actress, and now, a fantastic liar.

We are not electing a Oscar winner here. I have always felt his campaign is more about himself than this country. Nice does not make him a good president. Obama is going to spend more time worrying about his fans than the poeple in America.

CNN, the primary is over! Get over it! I am sure Obama and Michelle has called and e-mailed ordinary, hard working voters, so why is this making the six o'clock new?

I can't lie. I gotta a man-crush on Obama too.

Mauri June 11th, 2008 11:43 am ET

Isn't this the way JFK and another Hollywood blonde actress began their "friendship?"

- REALLY? Didn't know they had email back then. LOL

who cares?????he's a loser

Let's see here, young, beautiful, rich, supports his campaign, donates to his campaign…….. OK, so Obama has enough common sense to keep in touch with someone like that, woo hoo, not news worthy. Of course he should, she is out in Hollywood where the hills are loaded with rich liberals to support his campaign.

What gets me is she is amazed that he calls her back. Shows a little lack of common sense on someone's part.

If this was Bill Clinton, they would say he is having an affair and blow it out of proportion.. only shows the double standard..Who knows? Obama could be sleazy too, and have something under his sleeve…I guess Michelle got him by the neck. A lot of people can play this little game that they had on the Clintons for years.

to eam – infidelity issues before? if you don't have the facts, don't start. it's bad enough that some hillary and mccain supporters are starting a brushfire already.

again, if y'all don't have any facts about anything, be a decent human being and not say anything untruthful.

What a shame. Such a beautiful actress, yet she's so dumb and just wants to hop on the Obama bandwagon.

NOBAMA!

WHO CARES?! Have him call the struggling, hard-working American who is so vulnerable and has high hopes that Obama will really make a difference!

Is she really this dumb? I used to work in state government, let me tell you right now…9 times out of 10, it's NOT the elected official writing you back. It's their staff. It's nice that she thinks she's that important though.

I'm glad you close these blogs at a certain point. Come on, we're talking about the future of the planet.

Man …… Why get upset about this article????

If this upsets you then just imagine all the possible articles (personal interest or political) if McCain gets elected!

Scarlet worships one who stole votes from Clinton. Shame on you, Scarlet!

Perplexed. Senator Obama's economical proposal's are not very different from that of Bill or Hillary's so why the dissent. I don't get it. Or maybe I do……hmmmmmm. Time to UNITE DEMOCRATS.

DEMONSTRATE THE COURAGE OF YOUR CONVICTIONS.

Her new album is terrible.

Oh wait, I've mistaken a news network for a celebrity gossip forum again!

CNN, why are you waisting time reporting this? Where are the extensive articles about Kucinich introducing 35 articles of impeachment against Bush yesterday?

I'm ashamed of our country and our people. When did everyone turn into a bunch of gossiping, petty nincompoops? Lets get back to making this country as great as it's supposed to be people.

I'm amazed she believes that it is actually him returning her emails…

Of course he e-mails her back. She is a movie star – BUT I would put money on the fact that he probably does not return e-mails OR phone calls to the "average Joe" who he supposedly "cares" so much about. He's corporate – JUST like Scarlett. And for that matter, just like McCain.

I've read most of the posts, and yet haven't seen anyone focus on what she also said:
"..and in his off-time I know he also calls people who have donated the minimum to thank them. Nobody sees it, nobody talks about it, but it’s incredible.”

It's only BIG news because she's a Hollywood star and the MSM wants to make a big deal out of it. I mean, who'd ever believe it if the MSM tried to spin a "relationship' about him calling "Ethel" from central NC to thank her for her support.

It turns out that Barack Obama's Chicago zip code is 60606 – the sign of the beast. This revelation raises an interesting question:
If Obama is exposed as the Antichrist, do you think it will hurt his presidential chances?

Maybe he's not as busy as he wants us to believe he is.

Who cares what Scarlett thinks (and do you really think Obama wrote the response himself or was it an aid?)
Scarlett is hot but she's an actress and CNN using her story as an "endorsement" of a candidate is wrong, regardless of who it is.

I hope he crush'es JOHN MCCSAME AS BUSH!!!!!!!!!

WHO CARES!!!!

a real blonde! is she really so naive about why Obama answers her emails? I can't believe Scarlet is so out of touch with a real world..

hows is this even news? CNN sucks.

Obama '08!

Thanks for some more in depth coverage. CNN is becoming worse than the National Enquirer. Hey CNN, has Obama met with any little green men? or Brittany Spears? We need to know! Hell with the issues. Talk about the dumbing down of America. God help us.

Please stay out of his personal life. He is a married man.

The title to this is very mis-leading!!!

shame on cnn

You're right Baze. That Republican primary process was a joke.

YOU SUCK!!!!

Women on the road?

Lets spin this like we spin all other female/candidate interactions.

The NEW Monica.

Moderate Dems are voting McCain in Nov, plain and simple….

Ted Strickland and the moderate dem congressman from OK are distancing themselves from Obama… I love it…

I guess you Obama supporters are going to be stuck with Chris Dodd for you VP choice, since he is probably going to be the only one stupid enough to take the spot.

Then, McCain will pick Bobby Jindal from LA as his running mate. Bobby Jindal will show that you can be a person of color in this country and be a true patriot…. Unlike Mr. Obama who aligns himselft with Anti-American and Anti-Jewish haters.

McCain 08

Stupid gir!. Another Hollywood follower. I noticed that he didn't reply to the email from Gretchen Snork, a bus driver from Albuquerque.

OH its an actress lets all take her word on how great this nation will be with Obama.

Man, I got to run for President.

So Obama has his Monicas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OHHHH Obama talks to me, it means that someone so important must be so wonderful and that makes me "important." The Cult of Obama…the pontifications and platitudes never end, and yet ask some of the young folks out there while they are voting ofr him, all they can reiterate is something pablum "esques." " He will bring change," they gush. Like what kind of "change?" Well like you know, change the "system?" You mean the "system" he is a part of, with a party that he is supportd by and now will lead apparently. Why in the world would we care what some self absorbed "Hollywood " type thinks is beyond me. But again, we see the Clinton-esque fascination with style over substance. The only thing that will change is how wvery aspect of our society will be forced to pay more taxes to this over bloated monster call the United States Federal Governent, and aquiesence to our enemies, more socialistic drivel from the global warming heretics, and judicail nominess that are chosen by the fact they will continue to advocate the slauhgter of the unborn, and the radical homosexual movement finding a way to…ahem…insert there perverse lifestyle into every aspect of our society and to preach or mention that his is unnatural coould eventually be described as hate speech. You want anarchy and America, choose this man, and his godless beleif system will defile us more thatn Clinton's ever could have.

I'm a baseball fan, but I don't want any of the players running our country.

Makes me wonder why he doesn't seem to have time for his grandmother who probably helped start him get the best education. I understand she lives in Hawaii, is in her 80s does a little volunteer work and watches her grandson on TV every day but you never hear him mention her at all. I believe he threw her under the bus too.

I don't understand why if I Choose not to vote for Obama, that makes me a racist? That Obama supporters, is why you are pissing off the former Clinton supporters. I am a Democrat, who supported Clinton however, for the good of the Country, NOT THE PARTY, I will vote Democrat. I could care less if the Democratic Nominee was a Blind, Deaf, Pink He/She, as long as it is a Democrat. Well, Except for Scary Pelosi, then I would stay home. She is too much for me.

It's nice he can take the time out of his busy day to e-mail a rich actor. McCain: War Hero. Obama: good e-mailer to well known people. I am having a really hard time deciding who to vote for in November.

Again, CNN — why is this a story?
P.S. Anyone over there in the political ticker world paying attention to how many of us repeatedly as this question?

What is this a slow news day? All the Clinton voters voting for McCain go to Clinton4McCain.com or justsaynodeal.com and join the other supporters like yourself. McCinton 08 Clinton2012.

What else can we expect from another shallow Hollywood actress.

yeah brother…

this could get very tricky rather quickly.

just focus on the mission at hand, BO.

k.

Is her amazement that he would e-mail her back for real?! She is a Hollywood actress. Shame on CNN for dubbing this "news".

This is one of the reasons I didn't vote for Obama. He's running for President of the United States – not the winner of American Idol. I think all of this "hollywood hype" about him is disturbing. And, I think it is a double-edged sword.

Seriously CNN? A crush story?

She would be a much nicer looking first lady. Perhaps Bill Clinton can provide Obama some cigars as a gift to use in the Oval Office.

I guess now Weather Van McCain will start going after some rich "drug addict"….. Whoops, I guess he already did that when he was married to his first wife.

This sounds more like an article out of the Inquirer. Next thing you know, you guys will be doing recaps of the Jerry Springer show. Yikes.

I don't recall her once mentioning she has a crush on Obama.
I think she was trying to express approval and admiration.

Oh please. Imagine if it came out that Bill Clinton emailed a beautiful star with personal thanks…..yah, you know what would be reported.

TO: ALICE IN FLORIDA – -

You watch FOX in the mornings instead of CNN because it's less biased?? LOL, now that is funny!

Thanks or making me laugh today, I needed it.

This made the news – what's next – all dogs in America barks for Obama. Obama 08

Please note the article says that he personally calls ALLpeople who donate the max of $2400. Don't start this crap CNN. The story is this man cares about people and you don't have to be a starlet!
Try the news CNN instead to trying to compete with tabloids!
Obama supporters: Please try to be kinder on these blogs. We can win on the issues without being mean. That is what Barack wants from us. He does not get down and roll in the mud and neither should we. I know, it is really tempting but please don't. It makes us all look bad.
Obama 08

cnn, you people are ridiculous

The "Movement" has people from all walks of life who feel we drastically need CHANGE. Senator Obama relates to the poor and the rich, and millions of us that are in-between. Once people stop and LISTEN to his message, and the HRC supporters have time to heal and realize what this election menas to THEM- I believe that Senator Obama will become President Obama in November!

She's as dumb as a brick.

She never actually said she had a crush on him. Their actions were completely platonic, and I've heard other stories about Barack Obama taking the time to talk to people and respond to their needs, so this is not an isolated situation. So frankly, I think it's rather silly that CNN is trying to turn this into a crush.

How low will the Media go that we are asking to see birth certificates?

How much longer will we continue to go down this path? This year has truly brought out the best in all of us. This reminds me of the time when God sent Moses on his quest and Moses asked who shall I say sent me? The Lord spoke and said tell them “I am who I say I am? And then Moses would have replied and said “But my Lord, where is your birth certificate?

Please give me a break,

What about the high gas prices?
What about the high home foreclosures?
What about the high unemployment rate?
What about the high rate of businesses closing their door and giving pink slips?
What about the high food costs?
What about the funding for higher education?
What about the high cost of health care?
What about?????etc

We should hold the Media response for all our headaches and pains. We should call the Media a Man-Evil-Den-In-American.

Good grief ! I think I'm going to puke ! One question though…..how is this "news"? I always thought that the letters CNN stood for Cable NEWS Netowrk. I guess not.

Shallow actors like Scarlett Johansson need to stay out of politics and instead concentrate on making good movies instead of the trash the put out.

My husband emailed him many times, never got a response (but did from Mc Cain) Dumb move, Obama… continue to write the stars, that's only one vote anyway, just like anyone else's.

CNN…believe it or not….
THIS IS NOT NEWS….
Sometimes you guys are REALLY PATHETIC!!!

Once again I must say THE MAIN reason Americans are fed tons of DRIVEL… Is because the NEWS MEDIA (which is different than ENTERTAINMENT media) is ran by people WHO DON'T KNOW THE DIFFERENCE…ONCE AGAIN..

This is NOT Newsworthy!!!

About the time Barack Hussein Obama pats her on the butt, Michelle will come out swinging. i can't wait.

Why would this story deserve airing when the story about the senate findings that your current administration lied to the public to justify invading Iraq was never mentioned? It's a shame the public has to listen to the Daily Show to hear the truth on issues that really matter.

Scarlett,

That is just the way that God made him.

Yes We Can.

OBAMA 08

Gosh, I guess I should overlook his lack of experience and vote for him because Hollywood is enamored by him!

And this is news how?

Jeez, CNN is absolutely giddy that their second coming of Christ is now the democratic nominee.

I am for Obama all the way but this story bothers me way more than Rev. Wright and Resko put together. I can't stand the idea of Actors and Actesses having abilities to contact elected officials more than the average citizen. It's what I couldn't stand about the Clintons. I am for Obama because I want him to give the government back to the average american not lobbyist and for sure not hollywood.

Funny enough, A friend of mine got her email replied to also. But you can't really tell if Obama wrote the reply himself.

Shallow actors like Scarlett Johansson need to stay out of politics and instead concentrate on making good movies instead of the trash the put out.

He should dump his wife and marry Scarlett. He would have my vote without a doubt.

Let's not trash her … It's CNN and the "provocative sound bite" culture that should be the focus of our indignation.

It's not odd that a younger voter age 23 is behind Obama. Some of them are going to be female. Some of those are going to be pretty. Some of those further are going to be blond.

He didn't only answer her e-mails but others from the general public as well.

If we as a country are going to react to sliced and diced stories like this, the news media will always be able to give us just enough to titilate puritan minds and take the focus off of what truly matters …

Don't fall for the Okie-Doke!

CNN…believe it or not….
THIS IS NOT NEWS….
Sometimes you guys are REALLY PATHETIC!!!

Once again I must say THE MAIN reason Americans are fed tons of DRIVEL… Is because the NEWS MEDIA (which is different than ENTERTAINMENT media) is ran by people WHO DON'T KNOW THE DIFFERENCE…ONCE AGAIN..

This is NOT Newsworthy!!!

Uh oh…I can tell she wants some POTUS in her Oval Office if you know what I mean.

Gosh, I guess I should overlook his lack of experience and vote for him because Hollywood is enamored by him!

Scarlett,

She calls you, because you are Scarlett Johansson.

Though besides having much, much, much more money than I, I do not think you are better or worse than I as a person; however, I honestly do not think Barack Obama would call me.

Sorry to burst your bubble…but the fact that you, celebrities, due to your work and fame, get "freebies" when you actually have the money to buy them, let us know how weird things work…Obama calls you and even more, knowing like we all know that you have a crush on him, but he won't call us…..not that I care about it…I was all the way for Hillary Clinton because of her and yes, because of her husband, because he was one of the best presidents this country has had.

Who cares what he does or who Obama e-mails. He is a joke, and will destroy this country. He should be trying to learn something useful instead of writing to another air head……………Get a real job Obama because you will need one after November.

Obama truly is my hero. I wish that she would e-mail me but I am a nobody unlike Obama who is a freakin hero to millions!!! How would it be… Obama, I salute your amazing political skills and your even more amazing pimpin dem girls abilities.

OK CNN> This is somehow news? Gas is out of control, people can't afford food, floods are flooding in USA, Floods in China and people can't afford their mortgages and you care about this Blonde WHY?

Waste of Space…….Not Newsworthy, unless you are attempting to say he is interested? Nah, Michelle would tear her apart….

When you have a supporter that the world apparently thinks is really important – important enough for CNN to pay attention. Then I think it is reasonable to email that supporter to thank them for their support, don't you. The reason Obama emailed her is because, according to CNN, she can influence thousands of people to vote for Obama. People who admire her, and again, CNN wouldn't post this if many people didn't admire her, will be given positive feelings for Obama. I don't think it makes anyone vote for Obama, but it makes them listen. What is clear is the more you understand about Obama and learn about his policies, the more people tend to support him.

On the other hand, McCain is promising us things he doesn’t have, or can’t control. He sounds so ridiculous talking, that many people are turning off the TV saying, “You got to be kidding”.
McCain is turning the election campaign into a comedy. The day of voting I have two options.
Vote for Barack Obama, or Go Fishing.

Change your name to CON "Cable Opinion Network"

SO WHATS THE BIG DEAL!!! THATS WHAT HE IS SUPPOSE TO DO…

I totally agree with AVA.
The primaries should happen exactly like the general election. Single day primaries with winner takes all for states. And no election in Peurto Rico, Guam etc.. They do not count so why have their influence?

I am sure Hillary would have benefited from the above format but I am glad that Obama won. He is a better politician. Hillary would have a definite big role in his government.

People,

CNN used the "crush" as a tagline. This isn't the views of SJ. But I think it's news worthy in the fact that we get a glimpse of Obama's humanity. When you get to see the man when he's not in front of a camera, you get to see a bit of where his integrity lies. Scarlett is just trying to let people know that Obama's not phony; that he truly appreciates the support of his American supporters.

Yes, I am very concerned about Scarlett and JLo's views about the election ahead. I would also like to hear their solutions to the mortgage mess, the war, health care, etc., etc. If JLo says it – it's good enough for me.

Why do you always publish these stupid stories about stupid people? Isn't CNN supposed to be a news organization? How many idiot headlines have you run about Angelina Jolie ? Get a clue – WE DON'T CARE!!!

If we want this kind of crap, we will get on TMZ.

A very talented actress but it seems she has no common sense.
Obama is in the publics' eye..married with 2 young daughters.
If he's aware of her infatuation then he should not even innocently encourage her by personal communication. basic psychology.

I thought the Obama girl was bad enough…. half naked, shaking her tail feathers…more burlesque than political.

And you believe it's him returning the emails? Come on!

Oh please, how pathetic! Just another example of how the Obama supporters think that he communicates with the common woman (a multi-millionaire Hollywood actress).

Can anyone say Elitist?

If not Hillary, then McCain!

McCain/Whitman 2008!

Obama reaches out to everyone. I love this man! He has my vote coming November. People who criticize his racists to me and it is sad how comes into play. All you can do is pray for the small minded ignorant people. He didn't do anything wrong. He won fair and square.

All I can say is Obama 2008! I love you Obama! GOD bless you and your family!

This could be such a great forum for serious discussion if only CNN wasn't more interested in sensational nonsense, juvenile humor and benignly trying to influence public opinion. Your moderators need to be more objective and stop trying to suppress free speech when it differs from their political idealogy.

@ matt NY lol

stern rules BABA BOOEY!!!

I change my mind. If I was running for president I would sit around and spend two to three hours a day writing back to everybody that I could and give the impression that everybody's opinion and idea counts and means something to me. That is exactly how we should run this country. Why don't we just apply the town hall meeting format to decide all national issues? Let everyone vote on everything and express their uneducated opinion on everything. Who needs a Legislative branch or even Executive branch. We'll just text our messages to the town hall meeting and then allow everyone to read their opinions and then have a vote on it. Or just text message votes like American Idol. That is the way to go.

I'd email Scarlett back too

Scott, Newport, Ky. – this is why people make fun of folks in Ky. Why don't you grow up. If you have nothing useful to say, stay off the blog, moron!

This just in: Who cares?

And Ralph Nader emails me all the time. But maybe that's because I signed up for emails when I contributed to his campaign…

Nader/Gonzalez '08

Wooptie Doo!!! I get emails from Obama all the time and he calls me by my first name….. You didn't report that CNN….. I am just as an important Obama supporter as Scarlet…. let's be fair….

Who cares who Scarlett Johanson supports or emails?????

This isn't news.

Yes, the moderators were really bias towards Obama. The questions that they were asking him were a waste of time and completely bias. They spent the first hour attacking Obama about issues that didn't have anything to do with what we as Americans are concerned about.

This is so sad! As one of Senator Obama's constituents in Illinois I never got so much as a return call or email from his senate offices regarding one of his amendments. I was always told they were too busy and he was campaigning for president. I finally had to go through Senator Durbin's office who gave me a contact person in Senator Obama's office. Finally, I received a call from staff. I guess I had to have clout for an Obama staff member to return a call and answer my question on an amendment Senator Obama had introduced. So Scarlett Johansen is a very lucky lady!

So?

I also donated the minimum amount to Hillary Clinton and I also received more than one email back from her thanking me to take the time to support her campaign. Would this even be a story if this actress wasn't a celebrity? Not being rude, just asking…

Good for you Obama, I believe he needs those liitle distractions some time to time, cause it's a lot for one person to focus on at the same time….. To tell you the I'm a lttle jalous that Scarlet has a crush On Obama but for my next President I'll accept anything, as long as it's good for him. Cause the door he just opened for me and more importantly for my kids, I will never be able to repay him for that. And while I'm here I want to take the time to thank Hillary for her hard work too.

OBAMA/CLINTON 08

YES WE CAN- English.
SI SE PUEDE- Spanish.
OUI NOU KAPAB- Creole.
OUI NOUS POUVONS- French.

Sounds like pandering to me! See, one man's that ssems kind or relevnat can seem like playing to his base or done for political reasons.
Give me my .185 cent tax credit on a gallon of gas! It's amazing what we tolerate and what we dismiss.

At least she works for a living and not sitting home all day blogging for Limbaugh and the republicans.Looks like the media is afraid to say a word on the impeachment vote.I guess only sex will get someone impeached.

What part of this is news related. Now don't get me wrong she has good things to say but what's the point CNN. How about more news on his economic plan, or energy plan.

Can I e-mail you, Scarlett?

I've gotten an email response from him too and I'm FAR from being a pretty young starlet, or even female, or even young.

OK- but can I reach him by e-mail and expect an answer?

If she was crushing on McCain, we know he'd already have her phone number and be booking his private jet to go "connect" with her. He'll just wait for Cindy to catch a cold or something.

Ain't that right? How's your first wife doing McCain?

HUH?

donna June 11th, 2008 11:43 am ET

SUCH BITTER, HATEFUL FOLKS on here…sad, sad, sad…whomever get elected has to defend idiots such as these….

KEEP THE STORIES COMING CNN…we all love to read what the fools have to say!!!!!!

Go Scarlett!
Go Obama!!!

Make these HATERS your MOTIVATORS!!!!!!!!!
===========================

Is that you Donna Brazile??????????? Sounds just like the hater that you are!!!

More tabloid news from CNN! Please do some serious reporting like, educating the electorate on the staggering NATION DEBT! Or talking about serious issues like the need to come up with new ways to fuel our autos. Surely, there are serious subjects!

She is probably a plant from the McCain camp or even the Clintons to get a scandal going.

ya right, i write obama emails all the time and i never get a response.

scarlett, honey, if you werent a rich actress with some influence over the lemmings in california, BARACK WOULD NOT BE RESPONDING TO YOU EITHER.

get a grip.

Everyone knows we don't need dumb, delusional McSame in the white house….and if we did we're doom forever.

I get emails from Obama too. We are all special…

I really don't care to hear about Scarlet whatever thinks….since when does she have a political voice. This is the kind of stuff E News and Ryan Seacrest report. CNN you are sinking to a whole new low.

Here hoping CNN reports on the issues again.

Shouldn't he be more concerned about doing his job then to e-mail an actress?

Big shock…he finds the time to email young, blond starletts. Who is this meant to impress?

John Kennedy did this all before…

elitist only emails to elitist

Where's Hillary Clinton?

Mr Obama, instead of spending time writing to pretty women, spend some quality time with the rural USA, visit them.

Otheriwse they will get more bitter by November, pick up guns, and you will see the results.

I'm jealous and proud of it

Ive heard a lot of people suggest Obama isnt a "quick thinker" and better at reading from a script…

consider this:

Sometimes the inability to speak quickly is a cue to someone's ability to think deeply.

This is a big a non-story as McCain saying 'beer' instead of 'bill'.
Polls are close. People aren't sure if they want to gamble on McCain's age or Obama's lack of experience, so we get this idiotic politics of the stars nonsense instead of real reporting. Thanks for a lot of nothing CNN.

i have a crush on Scarlett. I'm a cause she should believe in. (O yeah, and Obama MUST win in November!)

Bill Clinton 2.0

Glad Obama is spending time emailing celebrities rather then figuring out how to lower the price of gas. Why support suspending the gas tax like Hillary proposed when I am busy typing LOL & OMG with an airhead actress?!?

CNN give us real NEWS!!!!!!!

The caption, as most captions these days, completely misses the mark.

From reading the article, I wouldn't say that Johannson has a crush on Obama. The only thing I can conclude is that she supports Obama and is doing what she can for his campaign and she is impressed with his style of doing things. She is trying to raise awareness of him and his campaign, and it seems she is doing it without arrogance, without pushiness, and without coming off as an elitist.

So… Obama IS being installed by celebrities and the media, right?

Get over the adulation and start looking at things with some objectivity.

I'm jealous!!!!

Who cares if an actor supports Obama? Are they smarter than the vast majority of people? No, they are more hypocritical than the majority of people.

Many actors who obtain success come from modest backgrounds and have lived the american dream of making a ton of money through talent and hard work. It is a little shocking and hypocritical that they then support socialist ideas based up the premise that people, in general, are too stupid to make it on their own.

Bums.

Probably has something to do with the fact that she is Scarlett Johansson and she is gorgeous. Michelle better keep a tight leash on her liberal husband before it gets out of hand.

Funny, I haven't heard of any "commoners" commenting about Obama personally responding to their emails. Anyone out there?

He doesn't just do it for "stars". My friend works for Northwest airlines and she emailed him recently about a layoffs and a strike and he wrote her back pretty promply.

He's a genuine guy…that's why he'll always have my vote.

The filth and trash this little piece has brought forth on this forum are telling, to say the least. It's about time we got a little light and air to the running sore that is racism in this country.

If he accomplishes nothing else, Senator Obama has already accomplished this, big time!

To Alice in Florida You should pull your ear lobe and repear after me "woosah…woosah". Take a chill pill!! You guys are too serious about stories like this. Some of you bloggers have anger issues!!
The economy is shambles, the Iraq war was a lie, and God only knows what else is in store for this country, and you all spend your time writing nasty comments about a man you don't know and have never met!!! When you depart this world, I am sure your headstone will not say "HERE LIES A REPUBLICAN THAT TRULY HATED BARACK OBAMA!" Good grief!!. GET A LIFE WHY DON'T YOU!!!

CNN -

Have you given the time of day to the other Americans whom Senator Obama has e-mailed or called i.e. those that weren't one of the "beautiful people"?

CNN = PRAVDA

Any articulate criticism of Obama NEVER gets posted.

You have become the Fox Noise of the left.

Marty from Florida-

It is people like you who try to make whites feel guilty because we don't want to vote for Obama.

I won't vote for him because he is a SOCIALIST.

Race has nothing to do with it, i don't feel guilty for not voting for a black, i don't feel guilty for slavery, and i think you are an idiot for saying that people won't vote for Obama because he is black and they are racists. Have a back bone, you little rodent.

I wonder if he would answer an email from a poor blue color worker who likes to go to church on Sunday?

Wow, you mean a presidential candidate actually responded to an e-mail from a famous actress who is a huge Obama supporter and has pull over the teen/twenty-something generation?

AMAZING!

OBAMA focus on substance not hollywood….

geez, some of these folks really need to have a self-evaluation over their internal prejudices they keep bottled up. Its unfortunate people just can't read an article for what it is.

Halle Berry, Jessica Alba, and Scarlett Joh are very big supporters. Just like half of Hollywood. Okay, next story.

Awesome! He is so personable and this just shows that he truely cares about everyone!

GO OBAMA '08

I saw a GREAT bumper sticker the other day…I want it on a T-shirt! It read: "No Obama, No Osama, No Chelsea's Mama"!! HAHA That says it all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He actually emailed me also

Right wing conservatives, aka racists are so pathetic. They're born with their minds made up. They'll vote for a 71 year old man that had barely any competition to take his party's nomination and still can't unite the party behind him, over anyone that instills them with fear.

Just the first sign of the problems and scandal you will have if Obama becomes president….e-mailing women. Honey, you'll wish it was just Bill again.

the more we hear the more sure we are about another democrat loss, the ol hollywood knows best days are long gone, thankfully America is smarter than that.

MATTHEW…… HOPE IS GOOD TO HAVE…. SO IS FAITH… GOLD… MONEY… ETC

Obama is a very very nice man and you can tell he likes and cares about people and their suffering. Obama will make a great president. I am so proud of him.

Hey…I have a crush on him too!

Hmmm, i always felt there was something wierd about her!!

Now it's been confirmed she IS a wierdo!!

Isn't this the way JFK and another Hollywood blonde actress began their "friendship?"

OBAMA 08!!!!!!!

SUCH BITTER, HATEFUL FOLKS on here…sad, sad, sad…whomever get elected has to defend idiots such as these….

KEEP THE STORIES COMING CNN…we all love to read what the fools have to say!!!!!!

Go Scarlett!
Go Obama!!!

Make these HATERS your MOTIVATORS!!!!!!!!!

On the Wednesday, June 11, 2008

When asked about his energy plan and any relief that he could bring Americans from the rising price of gasoline before before the election, Senator McCain said,

We need alternate energy solutions. We need new battery technology that would allow a car to travel 100 miles.

When the interviewer expressed skepticism that battery technology was likely to advance it that period of time, Mr. McCain stayed on point and did not waver.

I have a couple of problems with this.

The 1st is, we already have batteries that meet his threshold; he is uninformed / out of touch.

The 2nd is that, when someone tried to point out the flaw in his position, instead of reconsidering, he " stayed the course".

yuck. she is SO overrated. i dont understand why everyone thinks she's so hot.

Grow up! I can't believe a grown woman would admit something so silly.

A Crush? What? Are you in junior high? Do you agree with him on the issues? Do you care about the disaster that the Republicans have made for our country? That's how I know that the folks who say they supported Clinton but plan to vote for McCain are Republicans in disguise. Anyone who cares about our country enough to support Clinton would never, ever vote for McCain. I don't care how disappointed I am (and I am), the welfare of the nation comes first. Democrats have to gain control to stop this destruction.

Scarlett Johanson is hot. Is there a correlation between hot girls attraction for a presidential candidate and probability of winning the general election?

I wonder how much she will still like after he raises her taxes? Maybe she is rich enough not to care, like a lot of the Hollywood do-gooders. For us normal folks, if we earn a dollar but get to keep only 60 cents (or less) in change after Obama raises our taxes, that is NOT change I can believe in.

This is NOT news!!!

Either CNN follows Fox or vice a versa. What is Corporate News Network trying to do now. Sooo stupid especially with our economic times. News you can't use. Are they any grown ups at CNN?

any lady may have a secret crush on Obama. Just a tiny little crush maybe?

I don't understand why everyone is so cynical about celebrities making their politcal views known. For the most part they are citizens of the USA also. As such i think its very responsible of them to have an interest in politics and other causes that can benefit the nation and the world in general.

As much as there is a celebrity obsession in this country, there is also the anti-celebrity obsession. Folks, not everyone is a waste of life like Paris Hilton and some can actually think for themselves and make informed decisions (shocking, i know).

Did anyone watch that video of him criticizing that pitiful excuse for a debate on ABC? LMAO! And to think they actually wanted to host the freakin' town hall meetings! LOL

ABC is full of fail…

Yes, he does appear to be a down to earth person.

Obamanation '08

YES WE CAN!

CNN… this is my last post…. I'm convinced most Obama supporters are Communists and socialists, so I'm done talking with them…

As a whole, they bring no discussion to the board and only bash anyone not believing the way they do…

it's like the George W. Bush followers, but on the other side of the political spectrum… apparently, it's not that they are upset at Bush, it's just they are upset it's not a bad leader following their line of thought…

it all makes me sick… i'm done with politics and I will only vote Libertarian from this point…

goodbye, America, and have fun when you hit bottom, because you'll bring the world down with you.

Trash News and spin!

How about all the other Celebs that have supported Obama, Men and women; the list is long. Do they all have a CRUSH on Obama do the 18 Million that have supported him have a Crush on Obama, come on now, maybe CNN has a CRUSH with non-NEWS. POST THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

At least we like our candidate but the republicans can't say the same. We all have a serious crush on Obama.

It is nothing wrong with us loving our candidate. Don't blame us because the republicans have selected a candidate who suffers from the first stage of"Dementia"

This is just another stupid story taking out of contexts. The media wants to show drama. Americans need to wake up and realize the media can manipulate any story it has its hands on.

So does Larry Sinclair…. Who cares….. Another disillusioned youth who is voting for the first time in her adult life.

Hillary 08 or McCain

OH WHO CARES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And yet… I haven't seen any articles on the Senate Intelligence Committee's 200-page "Phase II" report on Bush's run up to the Iraq war. Of course, that's not as entertaining as Scarlett Johansson's love letters.

James-MIiami, Ok,

She may be an okay looking girl, but there is nothing like my African American women. Look at the booty on Michelle Obama, You rarely see that type of loveliness on a European American woman. But the moral of the story everyone has their idea of beauty. And both are very attractive women in their own right!

Obama is a very caring, decent person. That's why he called her and others as well. As a precinct captain in Iowa, I was on several conference calls with him. He is connected to THE PEOPLE, as opposed to sucking up to the mega-corporations. He cares what PEOPLE think.

Obama '08 YES WE CAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's a good idea but he can take a break but not a long one McCain has been out there longer than he has so he had that lead on getting people to know him now Obama needs the rest cause he had a huge hard primary race and he should be exhausted but if he is tired and if he realy need that break and if he doesn't take it it must be cause he really cares about being president and change the way things are done in the white house and so forth. I believe that he is human and must rest for his mental and physical health but he must first and most be be strong and my friends that faith that he has shown those values and the believe in that together as a nation we can make things better lets not criticize this man but unite with him on this battle against corruption and then we all can take a break yes then we can rest and relax god bless you all. this is for the take a break blog…

Boy! the Obama Haters attacking him start right the hell up don't they. What's the matter idiots; Hillary looks like a Jack-o-Lantern with rigor mortis when she grins. There, is that what you want? You want us to start up on her again? Then either shut up or take it somewhere else, your brainless, hateful crap is not needed here. Oh and for the fool up there who claims it was done to Bill by Vanity Fair? Bill Clinton has a HISTORY of infidelity, Barack does NOT. The fact that Bill got so mad means it must have been true. No one gets that mad at something if they know it's a lie.

Hey Scarlett, call me..
Obama – Heartthrob of da young ladies.

Hey, Obama make sure she is not one Karl Roves Devilish Deciples. This may sound ridiculous now, but these Right Wing lunatics are capable of anything.

He has time to email her. He must be spending late nights when Michelle is asleep. No wonder he misspeaks all of the time. You will be invited to the White House ( if he is our next President – what a horrible thought ) when Michelle is away. He is a big flirt – sweety — in his tight jeans with the woman press on his plane all giggly. Michelle words of advice you better watch your man.

Okay. So? Doesn't one of the "N"s in CNN stand for news???

Did Anyone Else Who Donated To Obama Get A Phone Call? Im Gonna Give Him Another Fifty Bucks And See If I Get A Phone Call!

Oh please!

Gas and milk are $4+/gallon.

The climate is punishing every region in the country.

People are losing their jobs, homes, health care, etc.

The House finally got around to gathering evidence to impeach Bush

AND

THIS is what's important today?

GIVE ME A BREAK!

This is conjecture. It's trivial. It isn't journalism. You're quickly degrading yourself into US Weekly.

Looks like CNN is "chumming the waters'"and the media sharks are going to have a field day with this……as innocence as this was written and spoken. To be fair, CNN needs to follow up with some of McCain's "have a crush on you."

Where's the real news???

I agree with noracist and Cynthia Groya…..are you kidding me? People…wake up and smell the coffee…..Obama is a total joke and a liar!

See- Hollywood is not all ditzy blondes….

Everyone knows Obama really cares about "all people."

OBAMA 08…

…I suspect if I were a household name/celebrity/movie star, I'd have my personal emails returned by a presidential candidate. As it is, if you or I were to email him, we'd get stock emails, or emails from his staff, or more likely, no response other than to be put on their email mailing/spam list.

Of course he takes the time to e-mail her back because as an elitist he doesn't want to lose his elite backers. What about the other everyday folks who email him?!?!

I was one of the few who know for a fact that he does email his donors! I sent $200 bucks and an email stating that it would definately set me back in doing this but how I believed in the movement for change! Believe it or not I got an email and phone call from the Senator Obama himself!!! Wait I better tell you people that I am a average broke guy in NJ, so all that starlets garbage that Scott from Kentucky is talking is crap! This guy is the real deal!!!!

Obama 08

I hope something bad comes of this, preferably before the convention, and Hillary swoops back in and saves the Democrats.

She is cute. I love her and her admiration.
Obama is the one………..

check my blog and my poll at emilylifeasiknowit.com/blogspot

if scarlett would e-mail ME , i promise to reply also. but seriously, how does this qualify as political news? it's only going to cause titilation and off color jokes.

Leave it to CNN to make something out of nothing. It was a joke!

Let's start a rumor so that the weak minded McCain supporters can pounce. As if he didn't have enough trouble! Let's pour it on CNN.

Obama rocks.

TO NO RACIST…

FROM YOUR COMMENT YOU COULD HAVE FOOLED ME!!!!

OBAMA '08

It doesn't matter that sometimes CNN likes to report the lite side of this campaign; it always brings out the ignorant people!

Thanks Scott, I'm here is Cincinnati – I didn't know stupidity was so close to home!

He communicates with supporters personally.
I love it when he emails me to thank me for my support.
You'll be my President!

Why should we report that some young Hollywood star has a "crush" on Obama. Do we really believe that Obama writes back to her? I suppose since she is a celebrity and him writing back might make it into an article than he would have an incentive to write her back just for the publicity. But do you really think Obama has time to write back every or even a small percentage of the people that contact him? Does the president have time to write back to everybody that has a crush on him and wants to praise him for "holding his ground" and not wavering on values that he holds true?

This article implies that young Hollywood stars couldn't possibly have a crush on the 71 year old McCain since he is too old and out of touch and not cool.

Who the hell cares? Haha. The stupidest thing I have ever heard.

Some of you guys are taking this article too seriously. CNN is as much News as it's entertainment that's been known for a while now. If you're looking for starch, dry, and self-important go read The New Yorker.

CNN, plz post this
One more confirmation that talent is not always accompanied by brain.
One more Hollywood stupid starlet

I GUESS SO MANY HAS CRUSH ON OBAMA AS I DO TOO. HE IS SUCH A FINE AND LIKEABLE GENTLEMAN. HAVING A CRUSH ON OBAMA DOES NOT NECESSARY MEANS WHAT THE MEDIA MEANT. SO DON'T EVEN GO THERE 'MEDIA'

I just want to see Obama Crushed in November!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So what! I image a lot of chicks have a crush on Obama. Get a life CNN!
Get back to the more serious news or separate this news from the NY Daily News stuff

She's awesome !!

Obama is a different kind of politician. He has a good heart and brilliant mind. Very rare these days for a politician to have both those qualities.
He will be one of best leaders we will ever see. Hope the American people can put their ideological biases and vote for someone who can truly bring us all out of the 20th century.

That is disrespectful to his marriage. Hollywood actresses think they can say and do anything. It's sickening. Back off!!!

OMgoodness. This is a set up. Stop emailing her now! The repigs will spin this in a flash. The Hillobots will say this is sexism.

I'm with you Scott, not only showing it to him, taking it off and GIVING it to him !! Like you people really believe he's sitting there at his computer in the middle of the night sending thank you email's for his $100. contributors…that's what makes you liberals so exasperating, you believe absolutly everything that comes out of someone's mouth !!!

Who Cares?

CNN, plz post this

HERE WE GO
though it does exist , gender bias in relation to what will be happening with racial bias in this country is like comparing a fire cracker to an atom bomb.

Guess you need something to report, but this is ridiculous. Who cares what Scarlet Johansson thinks? And you know the Republicans will twist this into some racial thing.

Everybody has a crush on Obama. His openess as revealed by Johansson makes him the greatest politician alive.

why does it always appear that my posts seem to take an eternity to post?

Uh oh!

This isn't a good thing. I am confident if Scarlett didn't look the way she does, he wouldn't be emailing her.

Senator Obama, do not get caught up in the celebrity, like one Bill Clinton.

And don't start hanging out with celebs, it makes the ordinary people feel ignored.

Uh Oh! Another Oval Office activist???

Wow he personally took the time to thank a Millionare. I am soooo touched.

Quote: "That's what's great about Obama. He's like a friend, a neighbor and a brother. "

Ok, you've had enough helium for today.

OBAMA IS A CUT ABOVE THE REST.
HIS CHARACTER SHINE BRIGHTLY
I KNOW IT. I FEEL IT.
SO DOES A LOT OF AMERICANS.

THANK YOU PRESIDENT OBAMA, YOU GIVE ME HOPE.

What up, playa!

Bottom line is Senator Obama is a down to earth guy. We need people like him in Washington instead of all the Old corrupt folks there right now who would like to keep on doing the same on thing.

TIME FOR WASHINGTON TO CHANGE THE WAY IT"S BEEN DOING BUSINESS. AND THE ONLY WAY THAT"S GOING TO HAPPEN IS BY VOTING FOR OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT.

Personally,
I prefer "Obama-Girl" over Scarlett Johansen.
I can't wait for her next album to drop

On another note,
What is the likelihood that women will be soon announcing
they have a crush on McCain…..

After reading this, I think I'll have to consider running for president one day.

THAT'S BECAUSE HIS DOWN TO EARTH

Hell, I've got a crush on him, too — that doesn't make it newsworthy.

Scarlett Johansson's so hot

who cares what this ditz thinks? the country is obsessed with celebrity, image and athletes, which is partly why "the messiah" won the democratic nomination. he doesn;t have to have any substantive ideas, its all about image

She's not the first to have a crush on him and she won't be the last. Just imagine all of the people who e-mail him and get a personal response from him.

Scott,Newport KY………………..The next thing we know, she'll be buying him ties and showing him her thong underwear…….Filty THOUGHTS….PLEASE KEEP THEM TO YOURSELF!!!!!!

i wish scarlett johansson had a crush on me. i would respond to her emails too!

If this had been Bill Clinton, CNN would have titled this "Bill's new squeeze!".

I'm sure the Golden Girls will be endorsing McCain.

who cares?

Ill Bet There Are Some White Men In Kentucky And West Virginia That Are Not Gonna Like This One Bit!

Scarlett,
How come you wont respond to my letter?

People like him, he's the real deal. Over 18 million people can't be fooled.

If i were the king of the hole universe i would stop everything to answer an email from scarlet.
Who woundn't??? The crush is on her!

How gullible. The staff does all the e-mailing for him. In any case, go Barack!

thats not bad, yes we can

cnn is a lame tabloid. johanssen is a lame actress who got the idea in her head she could actually SING and releasted an album ruining tom waits' songs. lame all around.

this is not news.

Had to post it here. They close the articles too fast!

Veteran For Obama:

Dude, you really need to come up with a better name than 'Clintonites'. LOL

Obamabot was very original and true.

It's like something out of a horror flick…zombies walking with their hands out saying over and over "Yes we can".

What if?:

Your racist comment is unjustified. The 90% of the black vote went to Obama – are they racist because the didn't vote Hillary? I don't think so…but when the roles are reversed you play that card.

Obama attended a radical anti-white church for 20 years, but he didn't know they were anit-white…right. It didn't affect his zombie base one bit.
Now, if Hillary attended a KKK church (god forbid) for 20 years, then said she didn't realize it's message was a negative one, she would be been pulled over the coals – no excuse would be acceptable and I would be one not to accept it. There would be riots on the streets. Believe me.

Racism is a part of this race but you need to point your finger in another direction.

Of course he takes the time to e-mail her back because as an elitist he doesn't want to lose his elite backers.

I was standing in line waiting to use the ATM machine in my bank's lobby on Christmas Eve 07 and this man walks in with a baseball hat on and jogging suit. As I and the lady in front of me did a double take, he simply got in line behind me. He wished us Merry Christmas and the lady in front of me turned around and said "I'm going to vote for you". Although, he was behind us, when the machine became available we told him to go ahead of us. He asked "Are you sure?' We told him to go ahead becasue he was probably in a hurry.

On this chance path-crossing with Senator Obama, I found him to be very nice and considerate. It was Christmas Eve and everybody in there was probably in a hurry.

Obama08

How pathetic that this is part of our political discourse.

Unfortunately, it is, both explicitly and implicitly.

Early on, John King had a man-crush on Obama.

Roland Martin & Jeff Toobin still do!

It's obvious. It's pathetic.

PUMA DEMOCRAT

What's wrong with having a crush on a political candidate…….more than half of France has a crush on Sarkozy and he is a sitting president….let's not start the spin with this one….after all we are better than Faux News, and this is their kind of thing…..

While this is OLD NEWS, I can appreciate CNN trying to do a story that is funny and light…folks need to get the stick out of their "hindparts"…we know this isn't NEWS but lighten up!!!

I wonder who has a crush on McCain??? or rather yet, who'd want to ADMIT it…..

GO OBAMA…

Maybe now he will throw his current horrible wife under the bus along with all the other folks who turned out to be a Political Liability.

I could really get excited about having a Pretty Blonde Starlet as a First Lady!

He'd be honoring his "Typical White Side"!

Scarlett is hot! I'd return her e-mails any day. I've seen her in person…she's quite amicable really…

Los Angeles, CA.

True leaders listen to the people… and respond! =)

this is not news…. who cares about a hollywood celebrity getting personal email from Obama. Please use this space to report on issues of real importance to the American public.
Obama '08

Oh, God, CNN, ENOUGH ALREADY with your hero-worship of your God Obama. I am SO sick of Obama! I can't even stand to look at his face or listen to his voice anymore – exactly the same way I feel about Bush.

I don't watch you guys in the morning anymore except for Lou Dobbs' reruns (I get up very early) – he's great and the only unObiased reporter ON CNN. Other than that, I watch Fox in the morning.

I REFUSE to watch you repeat your hatchet job on McCain that you did on Hillary. I wonder how long it will be before you take some innocent remark of McCain's and start calling him a racist. I bet not long.

Why don't you do a story on how Oblahblah is scared to death of town hall meetings with McCain since the ONLY thing HE'S good at is reading a prewritten speech.

I wonder why CNN doesn't report on the fact that Oblahblah is scared to do a town hall meeting because the ONLY thing he's good at is reading a prepared speech.

Scott from new york your funny, but I don'think it is some thing to be worried about after all she is an actress well educated.

If I e-mail her, will she write me back?

In all seriousness, this is not news.

I hope she isn't a "typical white woman"…………

Thats one thing you have to respect about McCane he is better off the cuff and when it comes from the heart…….Obama is better at the wroten word and what others tell him to say you can see that by how he has others searching for his best VP. true they both have staff proubly checking the options and it is a marrage that has no divorse but showing that doesnt seem to be very presidental. also we must remember there are no teleprompters on foriegn affair meetings.
they both have pros and cons I just hope America isnt getting coned.

the reps got us in this mess but then again the Dems are in charge of the house and senate and they havent done much as far as change since they took that spot

long term Dem with concerns……

It takes a big person to take time for a little person such as I.
However responding to Scott, Newport KY, She can show me her thong anytime she wishes, and I won’t complain.

Obama / 08

Is there a man alive who wouldn't return an email message from Scarlett Johansson?

If he did get caught cheating and Michelle doesn't commit a double homicide in the White House at least we can say that he has better taste in women than Bill Clinton…no Obama would be truly Kennedyesque.

Hahaha wow I though this was CNN not TMZ.. GEEZZZ who really cares.. I'm 50 and I have a crush on him to can you please report on that also? UGHHHH

We love you Obama my town loves you !!!

I do not not even know how to get hold of 'Obama', let alone getting an e-mail back from him. And I have been his very strong supporter, and will always be his supporter, have donated and will keep donating. I am doing all that for no reason, but I sincerely believe he is the right candidate of my party, democrat, to be the president of United States.

Having said that; All the best Senator!

A.M. Saqib

I suspect many young women and old women have a crush on Obama. I am an older woman, and wouldn't go as far as to say I have a crush on him, but find much to admire. Beyond that, what is wrong with having a good looking young President. Kennedy was younger when he was nominated, and I believe Clinton was in his mid forties also.

Scott from Newport KY: Obama takes the time to personally return email messages from pretty young starlets. The next thing we know, she'll be buying him ties and showing him her thong underwear.

jealous much??? LOL

Older women for Obama, 08

I DO NOT BELIEVE WE SHOULD HAVE SUPER DELIGATEA (AT ALL) A FEW SHOULD NOT MAKE THE DECISION FOR ALL. WE SHOULD NOT HAVE CAUCAUS, ONLY PRIMARYS. AND ALL STATES SHOULD HAVE THEM ON THE SAME DAY. PRFERABLY A SAT. THANK YOU AVA

There Are Plenty Of Women Who Have A Crush On Mccain As Well. . . But CNN Will Not Go Into The Nursing Homes To Report On This Fact!

I knew she was young, dumb and "Hollywood," but I had no idea she was THIS stupid.

This is news ? One question for all you Obama fans. Where is the bump?????

Why you try to make something out of nothing? He is not another Bill Clinton. Obama's girl are Michelle and his two girls.

This is NOT NEWS!!!

Talk more about Kucinich's impeachment attempts, CNN!

It's not news guys … focus on the issues please…

Something tells me some shmuck from 'bama isn't getting his emails personally returned. Hanging with the Hollywood crowd, eh rockstar? Well, much props Obama. Too bad Angelina's already taken otherwise I'd say step it up!

Well, I'm much more confident in the democratic presumptive nominee now that I know CNN considers including Scarlett's backing of Obama headline news.

Are you kidding?!?!?!?

She does have Michelle beat in looks.

Sounds like a set-up???

Obama is promising us things he doesn’t have, or can’t control. He sounds so ridiculous talking, that many people are turning off the TV saying, “You got to be kidding”.
Obama turned election campaign in a comedy. The day of voting I have two options.
Vote for John McCain, or
Go Fishing.

Brother watchout!

That's what's great about Obama. He's like a friend, a neighbor and a brother.

We know there are a lot of people who will not vote for you because they're indeed racist but we're sure that you will be the next president of the United States of America.

We're behind you.

Scott from Newport KY:

Please watch your words and behave. I feel sorry for you for having such dirty thoughts and a dark mind. Please go out to enjoy the sun and sky and appreciate what God has given you.

Doesn't change the fact that they are both morons

Come on Vanity fair you have started printing trash lets make up some rumors about this since you did it to bill.

What's not to love?

Obama '08!

obama has had infidelity issues before, he copied hillary they whole time now i guess he would like to be like bill. good work look more like a fool your good at it obama.

A NON STORY!!! CNN WHY DO YOU PUT CRAP LIKE THIS ON THE POLITICAL TICKER….IT SHOWS YOUR STUPIDITY AND YOU IMMATURITY!

CNN why not report on McCain saying "its not important" to bring our troops home!?! You always distract us with pettiness. Is it on purpose, to keep us dumbed down?

ummmmmmmmm………. I do not think Michelle would approve…….

But then again…. it does not say she has a crush on him…. lets not start…………. remember what happened to Ford when he was accused of interracial dating………… PLEASE STOP

Obama has and always will be for ALL people. Not once has he acted as if he was ENTITLED to be the president. He WORKED HARD and followed ALL the rules and EARNED to be our nominee.

That's the type of president we need, one that will inform us, his supporters and the American people about all issues that we will face together, he will be HONEST enough to let us the people, informed with the TRUTH always……A PERSON WHO CARES AND UNDERSTAND ALL PEOPLE. …..

Obama 08

First off, I'm a big Obama supporter but i find it humorous that Scarlet Johannsen is 'amazed' that Obama finds the time to respond to her emails. Last time i checked, she is a beautiful, famous actress. What guy isn't going to respond to her emails?

Is it me, or are the loudest and most poisonous frothers on these boards those who oppose Obama?

And, forgive me if I'm wrong, but weren't all those people formerly complaining about how nasty the Obama supporters are?

Really, people.

We know you don't like Obama. We get it. You've said it enough times, and you've used enough capital letters that we understand how strongly you feel. Find something real to complain about.

Here we go again. Obama and Michelle have shown nothing but respect for each other. They do not need a blond starlet trying to dirty the water with "Whatever goes for me. Respect the insitiution of marriage for once. Do go down that road.

The bike ride story and now this? Looks like Scarlett's not the only one that has a crush on Obama. C'mon CNN – you were starting to get a little more balanced there for awhile. Let's save the news space for real news, ok?

I guess it's settled. Obama's got my vote.

OBAMA '08

I am an Obama supporter but I find this somewhat annoying. If her name ere Elaine Johnson, a factory worker from Tennesee would he be returning HER calls? Who the heck cares what Scarlet Johanssen thinks.

Cause Obama is a long-legged mack-daddy!

LOL

Obama/Gore 2008

or

Obama/Edwards 2008

w/ Hillary as the HHC Secretary

And why do you consider this to be news?

-an Obama supporter

Uh-Oh-again?

Obama supporters, like Johansson, are infatuated with the idea that Obama is listening and is operating outside the political vacuum in D.C.

Read the last paragraph of this ticker if you didn't, it is very telling of Obama's politics. He is not telling us what to do but asking us to engage and help improve America.

Who In Their Right Mind Would Have A Crush On Mccain?

I think that is a nice thing to do. It is good for someone so busy to take time to answer.

Hey,sweety,
never mind you are welcome.he got crush on you too..so no probleem.
hes a handsome young man..so keep it up,,,,,

So what? she is fond of him, who said it's a crime to be liked, huh?

Smart and talented woman.

Women for Obama '08

i wonder if mccain returns calls from his supporters.

oh wait… he has no supporters, only stupid obama haters.

All the pretty women are in Obama's camp. Who said women will be a problem for Obama in November.
Obamaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

a crush? really? She's a well–known supporter. Don't insinuate CNN. Don't isolate one female Hollywood actress. Not even necessary information to be quite honest. Obama has several celebrity supporters–not crushes.

O yea, that was called for. Grow up!

Ha Ha! Well, He I Had To Choose Out Of The Two I Would Have A Crush On Obama Too!

WOW now if she had done this to Bill Clinton she would have been accused of having an affair.

I wonder where she was in the last election and who she supported then or maybe this is her first time voting in an election.

lol..I'm jealous.. i emailedhim months ago.. got a generated letter! Thats it! I am going into showbiz

GO BARAK AND MICHELLE OBAMA!!!
GO DEMS COUNTRY WIDE!!!!!!

You've got to be kidding me. People would vote for him because of a crush (or at least it starts there?!).

Ewww.

JUST KEEP IT CLEAN…WE DON'T NEED THE MEDIA MAKING THIS INTO A "MONICA LEWINSKY" SCANDAL.

She is not alone…join the club.

The senator is young at heart.
He has been doing this all his life, helping people, listening to people and reaching out to people.

We have in our hands a superb personality who wants to change Washington and bring back this country to where it belongs.
"THE SUPERPOWER"

We have to stand behind him no matter what happens. We the people need to stand behind him, likewise the democratic party. Whether we are conservative or liberal democrats, we need to put aside our differences and look at the similarities.
We need to support our party, be it a white or black person and no matter our race or culture, divided we fall and united we stand.

WE MUST UNITE AND BE IN ONE ACCORD.
I APPEAL TO ALL DEMOCRATS,YOUNG ,OLD, CONSERVATIVE OR LIBERAL.

We must take back our country and we must take back the white house.

We cannot afford another 4 years of Bush administration, which Mccain-Bush will carry on.

WE CAN'T LET THIS HAPPEND TO OUR DEAR COUNTRY.

Obama takes the time to personally return email messages from pretty young starlets. The next thing we know, she'll be buying him ties and showing him her thong underwear.

Just as long as she stops singing, I dont care whats he does.

a woman supporting obama now all the hillary supporters can stop whining on the blogs it's really getting old. all those supporters wasn't real democrats who are voting for McCain. When you see your rights get taken from you when it comes to abortion you'll feel stupid for voting for him.

This is news worthy, and hope pundits and the idiots at fox news don't spin it in any other way than what it is

My wife is also a big fan. I'm a bigger fan…

As far as a crush, let's not get a rumor started…

When I read this I thought to myself : here we go again with the stereotypical black male sexual prowness and its racist overtones.
Shame on you. It won't work. Give it up right now. Report on substantiative stories rather than tabloid sensationalism.

I have a crush on him too!!

Just make sure Slick Willy doesn't get her Email or meet up with her or Hillary will suffer another defeat. Hillary will have to keep Bill's leash very short, and Mr. Obama will need to dispatch him to the most remote areas to campaign on his behalf. No mixin' it up with starlets and Bill.

It's amazing how easy it is to predict what the comments will be like to this post.

As to all of the young women that voted for Obama, you will find that a hip, good-looking black man does not necessary translate to an experienced and electable candidate as Ms. Clinton would have been and still could be. Yes, I believe, women can sometimes forget what they are voting for. I remember when I was considerably younger and looked at John Kennedy with no real knowledge or understanding of what he or the Democratic party stood for, just that he looked good, gave nice speeches and pays attention to blondes, e.g., Scarlett Johansson; sound familiar?

a Fatal attraction in the works, Obama, dude i'm not voting for you but stay away from that one!

WHO CARES!!??!!

I crinch everytime a celebrity talk about our candidates, especially young stars. Not to mention what some of the gutter media would make of this story, perhaps using old days of JFK and Monroe as an anology. However, Scarlette is engaged to be married and an informed voter working for her candidate and hopefully does her own work without media hoohaha.

Obama is intouch with small and big donors. He really cares. This guy is the real deal.

this is the big problem with this campain it is about romance and not brains, the bobots claim its about brains but the more you see the more it seems its just about Romance with the canadate. I know a few people that feel like they had a bad one night stand after super tuesday and felt alittle remorce. HOPE they did the wright thing…….

Who gives a flip about Hollywood.

Watch out Obama-girl, Scarlett has got the "looks", the fame and the fortune!

Gawd.

Another fluff press piece for Obama.

Do you people have no pride?

I hope and pray there are enough people in America that are smart enough to see through Obama's lies.

Obama need this vote but White house need more bed room

Give me a break. Who cares.

Still not going to vote for him

Another supid Hollywood starlette.
Brittney Spears also had crash on G.Bush

CNN – and this is news we care about?

You go girl!. Obama is going to be the President of the people, for the people and by the people. That's humility.

Political groupie

Oh please. Of course he's going to communicate with the lovely Scarlett Johansson. And she thinks it's because he communicates with everyone! Give me a break. He ignores people all the time. I've seen it and I've read about it on blogs. He just knows how to play the media game and boy does he have you guys snowed.

Next….

As an Illinois resident I know how he has time to do these things – by not doing the job he was elected for.

Yeah, she emails me too

Few men wouldn't respond if Scarlett Johansson emailed them

just one more rocket scientist voting for Obama.

Obama is a different kind of politician. He has a good heart and brilliant mind. Very rare these days for a politician to have both those qualities.
He will be one of best leaders we will ever see. Hope the American people can put their ideological biases and vote for someone who can truly bring us all out of the 20th century.

Not news. Although it is nice that Obama calls supporters in his free time – that is pretty cool.

nice woman.

*sigh* she is so dreamy!

SHE'S YOUNG AND LOST TOO. MAYBE HE WILL DO A SCREEN PLAY WITH YOU. THIS COUNTRY OF YOUNG PEOPLE IS OUR FUTURE .GOD HELP US ALL.

Can we please talk about news, and not celebrities?

Thanks!

While I appreciate Johansson's support, this is not newsworthy.

On a side note – Scarlett Johansson is overrated. Jessica Alba has her beat hands downs.

??????

She's a smart young lady.

She knows that McCain will work to outlaw abortion.

This woman is a moron. To be surprised that Obama (or actually a campaign intern) takes the time to respond to an email from a Hollywood star is amazing and shows you how dumb she is.

She probably is hoping for a "private tour" once he's elected.

Dope.

McCain '08!

Grrrrrrr!!! LOL!!!

Now this is real news, CNN. Another Hollywood liberal in love with a Dem. Way to go CNN.

lame….. not gonna help us get rid of the 'rock star' thing… and that's not gonna help in the general

thanks for the stupid article

Gee…I too am amazed that Obama would respond to an email from A STAR! Get a life moron.

Is it any surprise that ANOTHER HOLLYWOOD STAR

Hey CNN ask Donna how come the DNC will not let people unsubscribe???????????????????

Pardon me while I vomit…
