NEW YORK – Lindsay Lohan referred to President-elect Barack Obama as the country's "first colored president" in an interview on "Access Hollywood." Describing her experience on Election Day, Lohan said: "It was really exciting. It's an amazing feeling. It's our first colored president." A spokeswoman for Lohan didn't immediately return messages left Wednesday. Interviewer Maria Menounos didn't question the 22-year-old actress on her use of the term. "Access Hollywood" also didn't cite her remark in its online story, but did post an "extended interview" video on its Web site that included the remark. A spokesman for the syndicated entertainment news program said in a statement Wednesday: "We believe the word in question that Ms. Lohan used was unintelligible." Lohan blogged about her support of Obama during the presidential campaign.

Lindsay Lohan is a complete moron.

But Obama is the first president of colour? I dont get it.

[AcesandEights]

I dont get it. Some people are way sensitive about their color, unfortunately.

If this is so shocking and controversial even though clearly meant as a complimentary statement, the NAACP had better change its name right quick, eh?

[Trencher]

Who took offence to this then?

Who took offence to this then? Apparently a lot of people. The word she used is pretty mumbled though, some are saying she actually said "first GOOD president." Which IMO is what would show her to be a complete moron. He hasn't been in office for a day yet, but she already knows that all other 43 presidents sucked and Obama is gonna be way better than any of them?

You guys are letting yourself being manipulated into having an emotional reaction towards something. Dont let the media lead you by the nose and pit you against others before you are sure that they done something wrong. Saying "A lot of people" means nothing, its just a trick to make it look like somone cares. They need to tell you excatly who got a problem with it and if they cant they are just instigators. Dont belive the hype!

Wow she pulled a Biden I wonder if she thinks he's clean and articulate? Hahaha Its a teen movie queen...come on who cares what she said. He is the country's second black president...Clinton was the first...or so he said once. I think the fact that he was elected shows that the country is moving in the right direction...

I cant believe people would make such a big deal of this

Dont belive the hype! What I meant to say/should have said was "a lot of people in the media and blogosphere." I'm sure most ordinary people are less worked up.

Didn't he call himself a "mutt" on National TV a few days ago ... which begs this question: If a "mutt" is good enough to be President, why isn't a mutt good enough to be the President's dog? Heck, I'd pay the $35 processing fee if he'd just run down to the local shelter and pick out an abandoned, abused mixed-breed pound puppy and take it over to the White House. It can sleep at the foot of W's bed until Mr. Obama takes office. Meantime, Mr. Emanuel can follow that forlorn little dog around and clean up its "poo poos", just to get into practice for the coming days when he will have to follow Mr. Obama around and clean up his "poo poos".

I'm sure most ordinary people are less worked up. Right, it always boils down to us vs. them.
