The former WWE star said that she got actively involved in the sports match when her boyfriend, Clooney, hosted a star-studded fund raising dinner in Los Angeles on Thursday, reported People magazine.
Following the event, which raked in USD 15 million for Obama's re-election campaign, actor Tobey Maguire joined the pair for the playoff.
"I was a cheerleader on the side. George and Obama were on the same team, so they both won. It made it easy. To have the President at our house was such an unbelievable honour. I would say that there is such an energy and a presence, and I felt almost speechless," she said.
Obama is expected to have attended a benefit thrown by actress Eva Longoria and entertainer Ricky Martin in New York City yesterday.
'Glee' co-creator Ryan Murphy has also said that he will host a dinner for the politician who recently announced his support of gay marriage.
