NEW YORK -- Scarlett Johansson returned from the Persian Gulf with a whole lot of soldiers' trinkets and a delusion of her own engagement -- to Barack Obama.

"I am engaged ... to Barack Obama," Johansson joked in an interview with The Associated Press on Thursday. "My heart belongs to Barack, and that is who I am currently, finally, engaged to. Yes."

Johansson, who showed her support for the Democratic presidential candidate at the Iowa caucus earlier this month, was really just deflecting a question about rumors she might be engaged (to actor-beau Ryan Reynolds).

The 23-year-old actress talked about the warm welcome she received while visiting troops stationed in the Persian Gulf last week. Johansson dropped by U.S. bases in Kuwait on Jan. 17 and Jan. 18 as part of a USO tour in which she met about 3,500 men and women in uniform....

Mannnnnnnnn...

Didn't McCain-Endorsing Stallone wimp-out from a Middle East USO tour?

Go Scarlett! And if that engagement-to-Obama thing doesn't work out romantically, then you can vote for him and get engaged to app_farmer-rb!

Scarlett is the hottest in Hollywood.

;)

she is going out and supporting our brave soldiers and she supports obama!!

maaaarvalous taste in her politicians! :thumbsup:

She was wonderful.

and yes she was.

She reminds me of me! LOL!

walks the walk, too. That's very wonderful of her to go on a USO tour!

I've loved her since Ghost World. Everyone should rent Match Point. I think she may get the part of Marilyn Monroe in an upcomig biopic about her as well and I can't wait.

And obviously has good taste in roles, among other things! I loved "Match Point," one of Woody Allen's best flicks. "Ghost World" is absolutely a favorite (I'm a big Dan Clowes fan), and Scarlet is fantastic in almost any movie she's in. She'd be a perfect Marilyn.

God I love her.
