I actually misremembered the story and had it all backwards. Obama isn’t responsible for her being on the show; her being on the show could partly be responsible for him getting elected.
She got the job and had to move to Hollywood. Her husband wouldn’t go with her. They divorced. Her husband became Obama’s campaign manager or something. Obama became president.
