POLITICO’s Patrick Gavin: Team ’12: Obama Girl, Alphacat

Well, for the first time, Ettinger and Crosson are appearing in a video together. In the world of Obama-themed YouTube videos, this is like a Kanye-Jay-Z collaboration.

The video is the first by PoliPop, YouTube’s Entertainment & Politics Network, which is set to launch in March. The video was produced by Maker Studios and the song is also being made available on iTunes PoliPop. The PoliPop network was developed by actor and producer Will Keenan, former “Saturday Night Live” producer Samantha Scharff, and Donovan Leitch, who produced the “Last Party” political documentaries starring Robert Downey Jr., Philip Seymour Hoffman and André 3000.
