Amber Lee Ettinger Life Story

Before messing with the 2008 US Presidential Election, Ettinger; a native of Hazleton, Pennsylvania, moved to New York City to attend the Fashion Institute of Technology to study fashion and clothing design, having expressed hopes to create her own clothing line and other business ventures.

Early in her career, Ettinger was crowned Miss NYC in the 2003 Miss Hawaiian Tropic pageant, later augmenting that title with a nod as Miss Howard TV in June 2007. It was her appearance on Howard TV that brought her to the attention of Leah Kaufman and Ben Relles, who then contacted her about appearing in "I Got a Crush... on Obama."

She has also appeared in a video for The Onion News Network, as well as the music video for the John Popper Project song "Lapdance." Ettinger appeared in a new video called "Hillary! Stop the attacks! Love, Obama Girl" released on March 25th, 2008.

On May 7, 2008, Barely Political posted a YouTube video with Obama Girl and former Libertarian presidential candidate, Mike Gravel, entitled "Mike Gravel Lobbies for the Obama Girl Vote." In the video, Gravel tries to persuade Obama Girl to switch her support from Obama to him. Her response near the end of the video is, "I'll think about it".
