Scarlett Johansson got dressed up in red, white and blue for the patriotic cover of November's CosmoGirl. The recently married actress has been a vocal and occasionally controversial Obama supporter, and she chatted with the magazine about her experiences on the campaign trail and what makes her happy. Here's more:
- On campaigning at colleges: "It was amazing that these kids are just so well-informed and so interested. There were really obscure questions and debates that they wanted to lead — I couldn’t believe it! And it was amazing how many of these kids turned out. We made the environment friendly. I’m 23, and all of these kids are probably between 16 to 24. They’re my peers. . . we’re all connected by the same issues."
- On what makes her happy: "Things that make me happy are being with my friends and family, and also things like a challenge — using my brain, you know? That makes me feel good. When I’m challenged and when I feel like I want to get to the bottom of something, when I’m engaged, that makes me happy. Being engaged in something or bettering myself in some way."
Scarlett's just one of the many celebrities to throw their two cents into the political ring, and while Obama is no longer the main man in her life, she's ready to do what she can to support him before Election Day on November 4th.

Is it just me or is that cover photo super unflattering?
1Her outfit definitely looks unflattering fashion4ward. And the makeup doesn't look right. Anyways, I'm glad she is proud to speak her opinion.
GOBAMA!
2nice
3Terrible outfit.
4Horrendous picture. The outfit. the airbrushing. EVERYTHING>
5I can't believe they were able to make the normally gorgeous Scarlett look so awful on the cover!
6I think I had that outfit in 1991.
7It's an unfortunate cover. Aren't the celebs "people" supposed to sign off on these things?
drew barrymores political cover look was def. more chic. haha
8Ew! Who was responsible for putting her in overalls??? Giant fashion faux pas. But it is for a good cause....getting younger people to vote.
9She looks terrible in that picture...
10She looks gorgeous and beautiful!
11I love her!
She looks fine, people!!! Other than her support of Obama...=)Not every "educated" person agrees with obama! But she does look pretty!
12Wtf is she wearing
13I think she looks gorgeous, but the outfit IS terrible. Scarlett looks beautiful nonetheless.
Not every "educated" person agrees with obama!
I don't think that's what she was saying. She was working on the Obama campaign trail, she was just relating the experience she had working with the college kids and the young people that she met.
14You are right, california Girl. I was responding to another comment. Sorry if i wasn't clear.
15she looks like a milk maiden
16she looks like an idiot
17i have to agree that it's not one of her best photos - but i guess it's meant to be a bit out there huh? i like that celebs are involved in politics since everyone should be but i think that it's really annoying when they try to remind us OVER AND OVER AGAIN who they are supporting .
