Lindsay Lohan tries to join the campaign?

An article from The Christian Science Monitor titled, "First it was Paris and Britney, now Lindsay joins the campaign," caught my attention today. The article talks about how Lindsay Lohan offered to help the Obama campaign by reaching out to the younger voters. The Obama campaign told her, "Thanks, but no thanks." This somehow upset Lindsay Lohan and her father, who has complained to FOX News and TMZ. This article is interesting to me for a number of reasons. First of all, it is sick and sad that the presidential campaign is a popularity contest and no longer about the issues. I want people to talk about the important things that are going on in this country, not who has the most celebrities that support them. Secondly, Paris Hilton, Britney Spears, and Lindsay Lohan are probably the worst celebrities you could have supporting your campaign. Everyone knows that they are just spoiled, rich girls who have no concept of responsiblity, and they have a hard time keeping their lives together. For me, the fact that these celebrities support Obama makes me dislike Obama even more, because he is doing something that appeals to people that have a bad moral conscience. Lastly, it is unbelievable that this is even an article. There is a comment on this article posted by Rusty that says, "This is toooo funny!! Wall Street is crashing and we are talking about Lohan getting her feelings hurt!!" Rusty is completely right. Who cares about Lindsay Lohan when our country is hurting.
