In brief: Obama did not have textual intercourse with that woman, Scarlett Johansson

Barack Obama has denied Scarlett Johansson's claim that they are in regular email contact. As reported in The First Post, the ripe, 23 year-old actress recently mused on their frequent online communications while talking to the current affairs website Politicos. She said: "You’d imagine that someone like the senator who is constantly travelling and constantly 'on' - how can he return these personal emails?" But Obama insists, rather ungallantly, that Johansson doesn't even have his personal email address. "She sent one email to Reggie, who forwarded it to me," said Obama, referring to his personal assistant, Reggie Love. "I write saying, 'thank you Scarlett for doing what you do,' and suddenly we have this email relationship."...Catherine Zeta-Jones, the actress, may have an airport named after her.
