So the Obama campaign actually turned down Lindsay Lohan's offer to serve Obama as loyal fundraiser because she "is not exactly the kind of high profile star who would be positive for us." Lindsay didn't just make some youthful indiscretions. Lindsay is a bad girl. The young celebrity was, however, invited to write Obama a check.
And once again, the Republican Party is defending womankind. Gawd. What have they done to the Democratic Party?
We know Team Obama is a big fan of one of the culture's highly visible nightly doses of toxic misogyny, Keith Olbermann. So we are not surprised. Olbermann routinely ridicules young female celebrities as pathetic and brainless sluts. But when it comes to young male celebrities, guilty of similar youthful indiscretions, Keith gives his respected brothers a pass. Young women who party too hearty are trashy jokes to be mocked and shunned. Young men who party too hearty are respected brothers, or studs to die for.
Once again, it appears that Barack Obama does not have what it takes to be 'the woman's president.'
Lindsay's dad is justifiably pissed:
"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. "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."
"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."
