Kanye West ropes in Kim Kardashian to help with Obama campaign

When Kanye West whisked Kim Kardashian away for her 32nd birthday for a romantic trip to Italy, it was thought that wedding bells were on the way especially as Ryan Seacrest had hinted at an engagement.

But the reality TV star must've been pretty disappointed as she reportedly ended up stuffing envelopes for Barack Obama.

The rapper is a huge supporter of President Obama and with the US election looming it seems he put his girlfriend’s birthday on the backburner – all to see his favourite candidate getting re-elected.

“Kim was expecting her birthday weekend to be all candlelit dinners – even a proposal with a diamond ring,” a source told The Sun.

“But Kanye’s determined to see Obama back in office and got Kim to help with paperwork and persuading celebrity pals to give their support.”
