Barack Obama Downplays Scarlett Johansson Email Relationship
6/26/08
U.S. presidential candidate Barack Obama has downplayed his email
communications with Hollywood star Scarlett Johansson - stating she
doesn't even have his personal email address.
Sexy screen star Johansson is a huge supporter of the democratic White
House hopeful, and told reporters last month (May08) how she regularly
offers the politician advice via e-mail. And the actress admitted she
was left stunned when Obama began a computerized correspondence with
her.
She was noted as saying, "Someone like the senator (Obama), who is
constantly traveling and constantly 'on', how can he return these
personal e-mails?"
However, in a meeting with journalists on Wednesday (25Jun08), Obama
insisted he had only sent one email to Johansson, and that was after her
original message was forwarded to him by his assistant Reggie Love.
He explained, "She sent one email to Reggie, who forwarded it to me. "I
(wrote) saying, 'Thank you Scarlett for doing what you do', and suddenly
we have this email relationship."
