Michael Lohan, father of Lindsay Lohan, has reacted disapprovingly to Barack Obama’s rumored refusal of Lindsay Lohan’s offer to do a fundraiser for him. This reaction came after Lindsay Lohan’s efforts to stump for Obama were reportedly thrown back in her face by the Democratic candidate’s campaign. The Chicago Sun-Times had reported that Lindsay wanted to promote Obama, but was turned away by his camp due to her ‘wild ways’.

Expressing his displeasure at what happened, Michael told Pop Tarts via email that “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. 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, and he can be expected to use any event in his estranged daughter’s life to offer his opinion, grandstand and further embarrass her. But, this time around he had nice words for her on his email, when he wrote: “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. 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.”

He definitely appears to have a point about Barack Obama too – Barack’s admitted wild teenage drug and alcohol use mean that he should not judge Lindsay so harshly, but that is exactly what the presidential nominee has done.
