Obama Girl Supports the Troops
Patriotism just got really hot. Barelypolitical.com, who brought us the classic Obama Girl and Giuliani Girl, has teamed up with the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans Association to produce “I Like a Boy,” a touching albeit tongue-in-cheek promo supporting our troops abroad. The video, which interweaves real shout-outs from Army wives, girlfriends, and loved ones with music-video hotties in hot tubs and dancers in camo crop tops, reminds us (perhaps with unintentional irony) that amid the distraction of the latest iPhone drama, there is still a war going on, and our loved ones are over there risking their lives for us. It also sends the subtle message to our administration -- especially in the light of our president’s recent address to the nation urging for more time -- that there are those of us waiting for the troops to come home -- including our “sugar Bagh-daddies.”
