The Girl in the Clinton Ad Woke Up to Support Obama
Too funny!
As seen on this morning’s television show, ABC’s Good Morning America Weekend, Casey Knowles, the child who appeared in the Clinton fear ad, is an Obama supporter. She said she didn’t even know she was the girl in the ad until her brother pointed it out to her.
Casey is now 18, a Barack Obama supporter, and a little miffed about appearing in a Clinton ad. The ad was filmed for a railroad advertisement when Casey was eight years old. Apparently, the Clinton campaign purchased the footage for the ad from Getty Images.
It has been reported that
Knowles, a senior at Bonney Lake High School who turns 18 next month, has been campaigning for Obama. She attended his rally at Seattle’s KeyArena on Feb. 8. Her mother, Pam, told The News Tribune of Tacoma that Casey cried and trembled after shaking the candidate’s hand.
The next day, she was a Democratic precinct captain for the state’s caucuses. If she plays her cards right, she could go to the national convention.
Not to mention that she could be in another ad. After her identity became known, Obama’s campaign contacted her.
“I mentioned that we should make a counter ad, me and Obama, against Hillary,” she said. “They thought that was really funny. They actually might take me up on it.”
So now we know. There’s more than one Obama girl.
