Mitt Romney compares Barack Obama to Kim Kardashian

GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney has compared President Barack Obama to reality star Kim Kardashian.

Romney brought up the comparison while speaking to his supporters during the Iowa Caucus.

He said: "I've been looking at some video clips on YouTube of President Obama, then candidate Obama, going through Iowa making promises.

"I think the gap between his promises and his performance is the largest I've seen, well, since the Kardashian wedding and the promise of 'till death do we part'."

House of Lies actor Don Cheadle recently clarified comments he made in which he said that Obama should have acted more "gangster" in his first term of office.

"I say this not in defence but to offer some perspective," Cheadle explained. "I believe I used the word gangster and I meant it.

"But I wasn't talking about pants sagging and forties and 'hoes' or any of that other nonsense and I find it hard to believe that that is what some people thought I was saying. I was talking about wish fulfilment; my own and my desire to witness something more than I had."
