The "Obama Girl" was a YouTube sensation with her tributes during the presidential campaign.
Now Omaha has its own set of Obama girls on the popular Internet video site.
Six members of Girls Inc. recorded a tribute song for the soon-to-be president just in time for his inauguration and posted it on YouTube this week.
"President Obama Gives Us Hope in Our Heart" is already creating a buzz.
CNN, the news network, plans to air it. YouTubers are offering their opinions on it. And the girls were invited to perform this Saturday at the Obamaha Inaugural Ball at a central Omaha hotel.
Songwriter Karen Sokolof Javitch wrote "Hope in Heart" for a previous project, "Princess Diana: The Musical." She rededicated the song to Obama after seeing him speak in Omaha.
