Here's what people have said about BarelyPolitical.com:
"Many people - including this blogger - would argue the sitcom is a dying form and this kind of web video will replace it." - FastCompany.com
"It's just one more example of the fertile imagination of the Internet. More stuff like this will be popping up all the time." - President Barack Obama, commenting on Obama Girl in July 2007
"BarelyPolitical continues in its work as the best new-media satire operation around." - Professor Paul Levinson, Infinite Regress
"BarelyPolitical - they built a team where all the players bring it to the table. " - The Huffington Post
"You guys are the hottest thing on the internet." - Fox News
"You're becoming the voice of a generation." ABC, Good Morning America
"You gotta love their DIY 2.0 Spirit." Phil DeVellis, creator of Hillary 1984
"Who's Hot? Judging by nearly 3 million viewers the answer is Obama Girl." - People Magazine
"The 2008 presidential campaign has become an online popularity contest led by civic journalists on sites like Barelypolitcal.com, with its politically-charged music video parodies" - The Boston Herald
"In the past four months, their "Obama Girl" video has been viewed 4 million times on YouTube... starring Amber Lee Ettinger...who single-handedly may solve all our worries about voter apathy." - The Philadelphia Inquirer
"(Obama) is definitely crushworthy. More power to the people who think he's cute." - Michelle Obama
"The new face of US Politics" - The UK Times
"We like what BarelyPolitical is doing." - AdRants
"Leah Kauffman. One of 76 Philadelphians who will shape and change our lives over the next decade." - Philadelphia Magazine
"Totally. Undeniably. Awesome." TechPresident
"We thought the song of the summer was Rihanna's inspired and inescapable "Um-brel-la, ella, ella, eh, eh, eh ..." Boy were we wrong. It seems that "I Got a Crush ... on Obama," a music video by "barelypolitical," a.k.a. Obama Girl, should easily take the cake." - The Washington Post
"That video probably had more to do with shaping Obama's complicated public image — young and exciting but maybe a bit shallow — than any Internet appeal devised by the candidate's own aides." - The New York Times
"Dumbass crap" Tubinism, YouTube member.
