Kim Kardashian may be one of the most influential celebrities on the planet with over 20 million followers on Twitter but even that's not enough for President Obama to jump on the Keeping Up With The Kardashians bandwagon as he reportedly turned down the star's offer to help during his 2012 re-election campaign.
The reality TV queen is said to have come to the President several times before his re-election, offering to act as a "surrogate" until Obama and his advisers shut the Kardashian down.

She may be good for ratings but it turns out the president didn't believe Kim would be good for votes as sources reveal he wanted "nothing to do with her" during his battle for presidency.
According to Radaronline, an insider claimed: "She was not the young, cool image they wanted to portray at all.
"Even though she kept asking, the campaign would never let her do anything in an official capacity.

"Kim is political poison, having her involved in a political event or with a candidate is the last thing people who are serious about getting elected want." Harsh!
And we all know the president isn't a fan of Kim's fiancé Kanye either after he famously called the rapper a "Jackass" during a secret recording which leaked following the unbelievably cringe-worthy moment at the VMA's when the 'I am a God' hitmaker brought it upon himself to interrupt Taylor Swift during her acceptance speech.

So who is the perfect supporter for President Obama? Everyone's favourite pop princess Katy Perry of course! The source explained: "'Katy is on a different level than Kim.
"Everybody loves Katy. Kim is so controversial and it's just too risky for any candidate to have her involved."
