She declared her love, took off most of her clothes, and fought in Barack Obama`s corner in an Internet video sensation. Now Obama Girl wants a little loving back.

`Maybe if I could get invited to the inauguration?` giggled Amber Lee Ettinger, better known as the foxy Obama Girl whose `I got a crush on Obama` song scored more than 10 million YouTube hits.

Ettinger, speaking to AFP at a victory party for the Democratic candidate in a New York restaurant, said she`d at least like to hear whether the president-elect enjoyed the song.

`I`d like a note from him some day saying he thanks Obama Girl.`

Ettinger, 26, came dressed as herself, with a diamond stud in her right nostril and a short but elegant dress, rather than the tiny shorts and bared midriff of her Obama Girl days.

Publicity agent Kelly Brady said `I got a crush on Obama,` which contrasted hilariously wonky lyrics with Ettinger`s more raw appeal, was not just a joke.

`Sex sells, and she was the sexy part of the election. That helped draw in the younger crowd. They asked: `What`s that hot girl saying about Obama?``

Ettinger says politics did not interest her much until Obama`s campaign against Republican John McCain. Now she`s ready for anything.

`I`ve got my Super Obama Girl outfit in the back of the car!`
