Barack Obama, in the words of Sarah Palin, has told Lindsay Lohan “thanks, but no thanks” in response to Lohan’s offer to host several events for Barack aimed at younger voters.

The trouble-prone actress offered to host a series of events aimed at younger voters, but the Democratic presidential candidate’s camp wasn’t interested, the paper says.

Lohan ”is not exactly the kind of high-profile star who would be a positive for us,” a top source on the Obama team told the paper.

Lohan and her all-but-confirmed girlfriend Samantha Ronson recently bashed Republican vice presidential hopeful Gov. Sarah Palin on Lohan’s MySpace blog.

Obama is trying hard to get away from the image of being one and the same with celebrities and the Hollywood crowd.  Lohan’s bashfest against Palin on her blog this week is also not the image Obama wants representing him ‘this week’.
