The girl in the red-phone ad is 8-years-older than when that footage was shot and is quite the feisty Obama supporter…
“It’s really sort of ironic that my image would be used to advocate for Hillary when I myself do not,” said Casey. She may only be 17, but Casey has some very strong political opinions. She turns 18- legal voting age-in April, in plenty of time before the general election. “It’s perfect timing because I have a candidate that I really identify with,” she said. “I’ve been campaigning for Barack Obama for a few months now,” she said. “I was actually a precinct captain at the caucuses a few months ago. I attended his rally a few months ago and I’m a very, very avid supporter.” The Knowles family admit they have no control over how the footage is used. And while they see the humor of it all, they are mildly annoyed. “I think it would be really wonderful if me and Barack Obama could get together and make a nice counter ad,” she laughed.
