You knew it was going to happen eventually.

Some Hollywood bimbo was going to reference President-elect Barack Obama in the wrong way.

And today’s loser is actress Lindsay Lohan.

During an interview with Maria Menounos of Access Hollywood, Lohan said:

“It was really exciting. It’s an amazing feeling. It’s our first colored president.”

Colored?

Are people really trying to bring back that racist term in 2008?

Notice in the clip that Menounos doesn’t correct or address the choice of words with Lohan.

What are your thoughts about Lohan’s comments?

Barack Obama must love seeing his mug on T-shirts stretched across the chests of
beauties like Halle Berry and Beyonce. But just because you’re a big-time
celebrity doesn’t mean the presidential hopeful wants you stumping for him.
Who did his camp tell thanks, but no thanks?

Bill Zwecker of the Chicago Sun-Times
reports that the Obama turned down Lindsay Lohan, who I normally wouldn’t
write about on this blog were it not for this news.

Apparently, LiLo was interested in becoming very involved in the Democratic ticket’s
bid for the White House — even offering to host a series of events appealing
to younger voters.

However, a top source in the Barack Obama team tells me the actress ”is not
exactly the kind of high-profile star who would be a positive for us.”

Given Lohan’s past problems, plus ongoing brushes with controversy, I’ve
learned the campaign quietly told the actress ”thanks, but no thanks,”
but in far more diplomatic terms.

Lohan has been invited to attend several of the big Hollywood bashes this week —
and also pay big bucks for the privilege of rubbing shoulders with the likes of
Barbra Streisand, Steven Spielberg, David Geffen and other high-profile Hollywood
boosters of the Obama campaign.

Hollywood turned out in droves and raised $9 million for the senator at two Beverly
Hills fundraisers last night. Chris Rock was one of the stars at the $28,500-per-plate
dinner at the landmark Greystone Mansion. But don’t look for any footage of
Barack mingling with celebrities. Television cameras were banned from the events
since opponent John McCain never misses an opportunity to play up Barack’s
celebrity status. Hater!
