Reports claim that Lindsay Lohan is so set on Barack Obama getting elected as president that she offered her assistance to help his campaign – but he declined.
The Mean Girls star is said to have wanted to encourage youngsters to vote Obama but was turned down because of her history of a drug and alcohol abuse.

Lindsay recently accused McCain's running-mate, vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin, of being a homophobe. The actress wrote on her blog:

I really cannot bite my tongue anymore when it comes to Sarah Palin. 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?
Is our country so divided that the Republicans' best hope is a narrow minded, media obsessed homophobe?

Lindsay's father, Michael, was not very happy about the snub. "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," he told FOX News via e-mail 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. Obviously, Obama can do this for himself and not others, when in fact a good president should have hope for all."
