Et Tu, ObamaGirl? ObamaGirl Says President Doing... "Okay"

She hasn't got a crush on Obama:

Amber Lee Ettinger -- the buxom sensation who lip-synched about her love for then-candidate Barack Obama -- said she wishes he spent his first year in office more fo cused on fixing the abysmal economy.

"I think he's doing an OK job," said Ettinger, whose original "Crush on Obama" video, first shown in 2007, has had more than 16.5 million views on YouTube.

"I know he's getting a lot of flak for things that he's not doing," she told The Post. "In my opinion, I feel like he should be focusing a lot more on jobs and the economy."

Ettinger, 28, said that even though she doesn't have health care -- "I can't afford it" -- she still thinks Obama should have waited to tackle the thorny legislation that has been blamed for the devastat ing Democratic loss of Ted Kennedy's Senate seat.

"It's definitely a distraction because of the economy being as bad as it is," said the Jersey City resident.

"He did create some jobs, but most of them were government jobs and that doesn't really help the middle class. But it helps a bit," said Ettinger.
Her grade for Obama: B- minus.

If even ObamaGirl is giving him a B-...

In related news, Sasha and Malia give him a C+ and say "he should have included tort reform in his health care package."

Et Tu, NPR Poll? 49% approve, 48% disapprove, even in NPR's poll, which oversamples Lexington, MA and the Castro in San Francisco.

Oh: And checking Hot Air, I see I should have scrolled down -- 44% GOP, 39% Dem in generic Congressional.
