Lindsay Lohan wanted to stump for Barack Obama, but was turned down with a polite ''thanks, but no thanks,'' the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

The trouble-prone actress offered to host a series of events aimed at younger voters, but the Democratic presidential candidate's camp wasn't interested, the paper says.

Lohan ''is not exactly the kind of high-profile star who would be a positive for us," a top source on the Obama team told the paper.

Lohan and her all-but-confirmed girlfriend Samantha Ronson recently bashed Republican vice presidential hopeful Gov. Sarah Palin on Lohan's MySpace blog.

"I really cannot bite my tongue anymore when it comes to Sarah Palin," Lohan wrote, urging people to vote for Obama. "Is it a sin to be gay? Should it be a sin to be straight? Or to use birth control? Or to have sex before marriage? Or even to have a child out of wedlock?"
Lohan included a portion of an Associated Press story stating that Palin's Wasilla, Alaska, church was promoting a conference that promises to convert gays into heterosexuals through the power of prayer.


"Is our country so divided that the Republicans' best hope is a narrow minded, media obsessed homophobe?" Lohan asked in the blog post.

She also blasted Palin on abortion (Palin is pro-life).

"Women have come a long way in the fight to have the choice over what we do with our bodies ... and it's frightening to see that a woman in 2008 would negate all of that," she wrote.

Smart guy that Obama

No serious politician will take Lindsay's support.

Maybe he shouldn't even address it? I mean I know they're taking precautions in turning down everytime a celebrity comes out for his support, but IDK. I feel like it should be ignored. They're not turning down when a random blogger rants off.

Celebrities confuse me sometimes. They should know by now that their presence isn't a positive one when directly connected with the Obama campaign and that they're better off just supporting him independently or even privately.

Poor Lindsay, but Obama did it right.

Like oil and water, those two.

But I DO love them separately.

+3 for Obama.

Lindsay did that to herself. I'll always love her, though.

Lindsay Lohan's Dad Slams Obama Over Reported Dis

LOS ANGELES — Lindsay Lohan's efforts to stump for Barack Obama were reportedly thrown back in her face by the Democratic candidate's campaign ... and her father is none too happy about it.

According to the Chicago Sun-Times, LiLo wanted to promote Obama but was turned away by his camp due to her wild ways. Now daddy Michael Lohan is biting back.

"For Barack Obama to condemn my daughter for past indiscretions when he admitted to the exact same himself is indicative of what kind of president he would be," Michael Lohan told Pop Tarts via e-mail on Wednesday night.

"His visions of a positive future for this country should be representative of a positive future for people as well. It is looking beyond the difficult times and letting go of the past," Michael said. "Obviously, Obama can do this for himself and not others, when in fact a good president should have hope for all."

Michael and his famous daughter have had a rocky relationship in recent weeks, but he had nothing but nice words for his little one in his e-mail.

"Lindsay is gifted — she has a wonderful heart and she can and will affect millions of people in a very positive way. She is here to stay," he said. "Obama might have eight years, and then he will be giving lectures. Who knows, maybe Lindsay will give him a part in one of her movies."

Signed. It's the best thing to do if you're going to turn down the person who's trying to 'help' you or whatsoever. Or, at the very least, not make it public.
