"I kept thinking to myself, 'God, if this was just, like, Kal Penn or George Clooney, or any of the other [Obama] surrogates or supporters ... there wouldn't be [any] question about it," the actress, 23, tells the Associated Press. "Nobody would even talk about it."
In June, Johansson said she had a "personal dialogue," via email, with the Democratic presidential hopeful.
Obama later downplayed her remarks, saying she only sent one email to his assistant, who forwarded it to him. "Suddenly we have this email relationship," Obama told the Washington Post.

But Johansson now tells the AP she didn't mean to suggest the two were pen pals.
"I was merely trying to express my delight at Obama's commitment in his campaign in every aspect, and his interest and his support [in] his surrogates, and his staff and his fellows, and how wonderful and refreshing that is," she says. "And it was manipulated into such an unfortunate media frenzy of kind of a non-story."
Johansson who kisses Penelope Cruz in her new movie Vicky Cristina Barcelona (out Aug. 15) also says she isn't in a rush to walk down the aisle with Ryan Reynolds.
The two announced their engagement in May.
"We're just enjoying our time," she says. "We're just recently very recently engaged. So, you know, we're just taking it easy. And no big plan yet.
"But it's a good time, and we're just ... enjoying our time to be young and engaged," she adds. "I mean, I'm 23. There's no reason to rush into it. Everything feels very natural and relaxed."

momster1if any of u Bush haters would remember ur hi school govt classes, our country is based on 3 branches of power, so that no person controls it. Don't blame Bush for all the problems when he has to have approval of the legislative branch, which is mostly Dems. If he has the power to cause all the disasters, natural & $, he must have God's power so maybe u should be kissing hireport abuseposted September 29, 2008 9:48 AM PDT

tizmeThe only reason it was a hoopla is because the Republican losers need to throw any bad publicity his way they can. If he was anyone else they just would put so much effort into making themselves look like the idiots they are....McCain? Lord he is older than death and dont seem to have a spine, but you know he loves sausages. Yeah I thought so McCain, I thought you liked sausages.....report abuseposted August 7, 2008 1:22 AM PDT
