P+P swung by Falcon on Sunset Friday night to check out the scene at the L.A. launch of Generation O— the Obama camp’s effort to rally twenty-something support. See what we found, including a few minutes with L.A. City Council President Eric Garcetti, after the jump.

Finally something moving for voters to dwell upon in considering who they want to be their next president.

Obama girl

This little YouTube gem of a cultural product is stirring up the madness. In the same vein but more raw than Alanis’s “humps,” it has been viewed 1.09 million times and has drawn 3,719 comments, many of which move along the subject of race in a predictably half-baked typing-at-work kinda (hateful) way. It’s an interesting thread to skim. The video itself is fascinating as satire of celebrity political culture and also for the way it effortlessly captures a certain kind of R&B black-video aesthetic. It’s also got some great perfectly ridiculous entendre-lines.

I can not wait till 2008
Baby, you’re the best candidate
I like it when you get hard on Hillary in debate
In the new Oval Office you’ll get your head of state

You tell the truth unlike the Right…
You can ba-rock me tonight

So who’s Obama girl, really? Democratic Party operative? Mitt Romney supporter? It’ll all come out eventually.
